enerdrive K-ADVENTURER-02 The Adventurer Power System
Congratulations on the purchase of The Adventurer power system from Enerdrive. This all-in-one system was designed for those who want the best charging, power supply and monitoring package in one neat easy to install package. Your system includes the following individual products:
- Enerdrive DC2DC+ DC Battery Charger
- Enerdrive ePOWER 12V 40A AC Battery Charger
- Enerdrive ePOWER 2000W Inverter with AC Transfer Switch and Safety Switch
- Simarine Pico Monitor with SC301 Shunt and additional SCQ50 shunt (-03 version only)
The following guide is for the installation of the pre-assembled power system, for specifics on each product please refer to the individual product manuals supplied or online at www.enerdrive.com.au .
Mounting
- Choose the location of The Adventurer with focus on keeping the battery as close as possible (less than 1.5m is ideal) to the system. If the distance from the battery to The Adventurer is greater than 1.5m larger diameter cable than the recommended 70mm2 will be required.
- Consideration must be given to avoid moisture and excessive dust.
- Firmly fasten The Adventurer by fastening through the black plastic backing panel of The Adventurer to your vehicle using suitable fasteners (not supplied). Ensure the structure you are securing The Adventurer to is rigid and can support the weight of the power system.
Caution: Ensure any debris from the mounting process is thoroughly removed to prevent damage to equipment or wiring.
Caution: Ensure that there is adequate spacing for wiring and be sure to check no wiring is in the path of fasteners when mounting the power system.
Connecting Loads (Appliances)
Connect the positive wire from your lights, pumps, and other accessories to the system by connecting to either one of the four switches using insulated female spade crimps or directly to the appropriately labelled circuit breaker using 4mm ring terminals. If wiring through a switch you will need to connect a positive wire (same size as the wiring to your lights, pump or accessory and rated to the circuit breaker value) from the appropriately labelled circuit breaker to your desire switch
Note: Ensure current ratings of the accessories do not exceed the circuit breaker ratings or the switches, which are rated at 20A each switch. If larger loads are to be switched use a relay.
Connect the negative wire from your lights, pumps, and other accessories to the system by connecting directly to the negative bus bar using 4mm ring terminals. If you have a larger load circuit (over 30 amps) we recommend to connect the negative directly to the Main negative Bar
Note: No negative connections are to be direct to the battery or on the battery side of the shunt as this will result in incorrect reading on the Simarine system.
Solar Connection
If you are fitting either fixed solar panels or portable solar panels via an Anderson plug, connect the solar wiring directly to the DC2DC+ as the MPPT regulator is inbuilt. Cabling should be sized to the rating of solar installed but as a minimum 4mm2 cable is to be used with 6mm ring terminals connecting to the solar terminals on the DC2DC. Ensure the panels are disconnected or covered from the sun during connection to the DC2DC.
Connection to Main (Start) Battery
Connect the Battery Input terminals of your DC2DC+ to your vehicles main/start
battery. A 70A midi fuse located as close as possible to the main/start
battery is required. Refer below cable sizing chart.
Note: Refer to DC2DC manual for information on wiring for vehicles with smart alternators.
Connection to Auxiliary Battery
Connect your auxiliary (main house battery) battery negative cable, which
is to be a minimum of 70mm2 (00AWG), to the Simarine shunt stud using a 10mm
ring terminal, the one with no cable connected.
Connect your auxiliary battery positive cable, which is to be 70mm2 (00AWG), to the back of the copper bus bar using an 8mm ring terminal.
Finally connect the positive cable to the battery followed by the negative cable to the battery using correctly sized ring terminals, in the case of an Enerdrive Lithium battery use 8mm ring terminals.
Note: No other connections are to be direct to the battery as this will result in incorrect reading on the Simarine system.
Note : Due to the Inverter requiring grounding it is important to ensure that there is an electrical connection from the inverter ground terminal to the vehicle’s chassis, this can be made through the main DC cable connections.
Temperature Sensor
The supplied temperature sensor, plugged into the Simarine SC301 shunt, can
be located in your desired location such as canopy space, fridge or freezer.
Note: Do not cut or extend the temperature sense cable as this may result in inaccurate readings.
Inverter AC Wiring
Caution: AC wiring is only to be performed by a licensed electrician, please
check your local state or territory requirements.
Submarine Settings
Your Submarine will come with basic setup completed, however, if you wish to
add or customize any settings please refer to the supplied Simarine manual.
