POWER MODULAR SYSTEMS-PMS2000GC and PMS2000GPThe Power Modular System is a 240 volt acand 12 volt dc power control unit. It providesall the necessary features for control of theelectrics and security in a caravan. The unitprovides the following features:Mains 240v ac - Mains Modulewith • Earth leakage protection• Overcurrent protection (RCD)• Reverse polarity indication12 volt dc - Fully AutomaticTransformer/Chargerwith • Overcurrent protection• Short circuit protectionAlarm Modulewith • Programmable keypad• Motion sensor• Tilt sensor• Tow vehicle detection• F.N.C.Indicator Modulewith • Battery/water test switch• Battery charger switch• Water pump switch (Int./Ext.)• Internal and External “PumpRunning” indicator lights• Water auto-fill switch• Car/Van battery switch• “Pump Running” indicator• Heater 'ON', heater “fault” and“low voltage” indicators (GC only)Switch Modulewith • Battery charger switch• Car/Van battery switch• Water pump switch (Int./Ext.)• Battery/Water Test Switch• Water heater switch• Water/Water & heating switch• Ignition 'ON' switch• 1kW switch• 2kW switchFuse Modulewith • 8 fused dc output circuitsUNIT DESCRIPTIONMains ModuleThe PMS2000 and PMS2500 is designed tooperate on a mains supply of 207-253 voltsac (making it ideal for use with lowcontinental voltages). The 40 amp RCD(Residual Current Device) gives protectionagainst earth faults and also acts as the mainswitch. The mains module also has threeMCB’s (Miniature Circuit Breakers) which arebasically resetable mains fuses, to protectagainst overcurrent. Allocation of the MCB’sis as follows:MCB1 - Sockets/Fan Master (if fitted)MCB2 - Cascade/Lights (if fitted)MCB3 - Fridge/ChargerPolarity IndicatorThis red neon light mounted below the mainsmodule will illuminate if the mains input tothe unit has become reversed and will requireElectricscorrection. Note: this indicator may illuminatewhilst using certain generators, this is quitenormal and safe.Using a generatorWhen using a generator in conjunction withthe PMS the following must be observed,failure to do so may result in damage to theunit:i) Always start the generator with the mainsisolator in the caravan turned OFF.ii) Allow the generator to warm up for a fewminutes before energising power in thecaravan, as the output voltage can behigher when cold.iii) Check the generator output voltageregularly to ensure it is within thespecification of the PMS system(i.e. 230 volts ±10%).Transformer/ChargerThe PMS2000 employs a fully automaticmains to 12 volt dc transformer and batterycharger, able to operate with a wide range ofinput voltages and provide a stable outputvoltage even under load. The unit canprovide up to 12 amps maximum, after whichit will begin to shut down to protect itself.Battery/Water Level Meter(PMS2000GC and PMS2000GP)This meter indicates the amount of freshwater remaining in the inboard water tank35
