Multi-Panel-System for Camper / RV with large LCD Display, VPC-Jupiter with internal battery monitor 400A
collating the most important functions and information in a user-friendly manner in one unit
for RV, camper, caravan, boat
The VOTRONIC Power Control (in short: VPC) is an innovative multi panel system for campers combining the most important functions and information in one unit in a user-friendly manner. The information is displayed on a bright graphics display with white illumination. The values are displayed in large size and can be recognized excellently, even at a great distance and with all lighting conditions. Coloured light-emitting diodes signalize the selected function at any time. The individual executions are distinguished by their range of functions, which is adapted to the specific requirements of the different vehicle types. While the version Jupiter leaves nothing to be desired regarding energy supply and levels, the execution Merkur is particularly recommended for more compact vehicles, which very often are not equipped with fixed tanks.
All units are equipped with at least one voltage display for the board and starter battery and with a terminal for an external relay as main switch. An audible alarm (beeper) at the panel, which can be switched off, as well as a visual indication on the display inform, if a value dropped below an adjustable energy threshold, and the main switch will be switched-off automatically in a few seconds to avoid deep discharge of the battery.
 | Battery Computer for board battery
|  | Level Indicator in % for the fresh water and sewage water tank |
 | Main Switch Function for board supply via terminal 1A (e.g. via Part No. BP1224V100A) |  | Main Switch for Fresh Water Pump max. 16A (potential free output) |
 | Solar-Computer
|  | Thermometer/Clock (only Jupiter)
|
 | Dual USB charging socket 5 V / 2.5 A |
Please note, there are different Shunt versions available:
- 100A for up to 1200W pwer (12V system, 24V * 2)
- 200A for up to 2400W pwer (12V system, 24V * 2)
- 400A this item here for up to 4800W pwer (12V system, 24V * 2)
Different versions available:
The version offered here 'Jupiter' contains the full equipment as shown above. Alternatively, the control center is available in execution 'Terra' and 'Merkur'.
Version Terra: like Jupiter, however, without the clock, without temperature display (indoor and outdoor temperature)
Version Merkur: like Jupiter but without level indicator and Main switch for pump
Display lighting:
The illumination of the display switches automatically when a pressure on any key. She walks at the main switch after 30 minutes automatically. When switched off the main switch, the lighting goes out after 30 seconds to avoid unnecessary load on a possibly empty battery.
The lighting can also be switched off manually prematurely by briefly pressing the main switch (see figure at left).
The brightness of the LEDs is coupled to the illumination of the display. If the display is dark, the LEDs are dimmed to a minimum.
Alarm and Battery protector:
The control center has an audible alarm (beeper), which triggers an alarm at a low voltage of the board battery. A triggered alarm can be acknowledged by a simple button-press. The alarm is an indication of a fall below the cut-off threshold (deep discharge).
To alert the user that the main switch off automatically in a few seconds because almost empty board battery. In addition to the audible alarm, the 'CHARGE' icon appears on the display.
After automatic switch off can be as usual switched on manually by the user. In addition, a reclosing threshold be set, above which the main switch turns on again automatically.
Appropriate adjustments can be made for using the menu:
- Board-battery shutdown threshold undervoltage in V
- Board battery switch-in V
- Enable / disable audible alarm
