Operation
The only control on the LT 50 is a rotary/press-in encoder. Rotate and press it in to select
displays and run switch functions.

3.1

Switching on and off the 12V supply for the leisure area
The 12V leisure area supply is connected via the encoder.

Switching on
and off

Exceptions here are consumers requiring constant power when the motorhome or caravan is
being used.
Just which consumers these are depends on the combination used (LT 50/power supply) -also refer to the operating manual for the EBL ... and CSV ...):
F LT 50 with CSV 410-2 (caravans)
F LT 50 with EBL 208 (motorhome)
F LT 50 with EBL 226 (motorhome)
 Briefly press the encoder.
F

F

The ”12V ON” symbol illuminates -- the 12V supply to the leisure area is on.
If the LT 50 control panel does not respond, either shutdown is active (for EBL 208
and CSV 410-2; see section 3.4 for how to cancel it) or the battery is discharged (fully
charge the battery if required).
If the ”12V ON” and ”Leisure battery” symbols flash 3 times, shutdown is active (see
section 3.4 for how to cancel it).
The ”12V ON” symbol goes out -- the 12V supply to the leisure area is switched off.

Switching off is only possible when the ”12V ON” symbol is on.

12V supply to the different consumers -- switching on and off
Power to the following consumers can be switched on and off individually:
Water pump
Tank heater
The 12V supply for the leisure area must be switched on for these functions (see section
3.1).
F
F

The LT 50 switches to idle mode about 10 seconds after an operation. Lighting up of the relevant symbol or LED then indicates the switch states.
Water pump
 Turn the encoder until the fill level of the water tank is displayed on the LED scale.
The current switch state is shown by the ”Water tap” symbol.
 Press the encoder.
F

F

The switch state changes (symbol lights or goes out): The 12V supply to the water
pump is switched on/off.

Tank heater, waste water tank
 Turn the encoder until the fill level of the waste water tank is displayed on the LED scale.
The red LED above the ”Waste water tank” symbol shows the current switch state.
 Press the encoder.
F

F

The switch state changes (LED lights or goes out):
The tank heater is switched on or off.

When the 12V supply to the leisure area is switched off, the power supply for the water
pump is also switched off. The switch state of the ”Waste water tank heater” remains unchanged (the red LED goes out when the 12V supply is disabled but the tank heater may
remain on).

Displays
Mains indicator
The ”Mains indicator” symbol lights up when 230V mains voltage is being applied to the 12V
charging system. The batteries are charged.
The display is only shown when the 12V supply for the leisure area is switched on (”12V
ON”).

3.3.2

Battery voltages
The 12V supply for the leisure area must be switched on for the display (see section 3.1).
 Turn the encoder until the ”Leisure battery” symbol lights up.
F
F

The ”Volt” scale lettering lights up.
The voltage of the leisure battery is displayed on the LED scale for approx. 20 seconds.

The following display function only exists for motorhomes because caravans have no vehicle
battery.
 Turn the encoder until the ”Starter battery” symbol lights up.
F
F

The ”Volt” scale lettering lights up.
The voltage of the starter battery is displayed on the LED scale for approx. 20 seconds.

CAUTION!
Batteries (regardless of type) can be damaged permanently, possibly beyond repair, when
fully discharged. So therefore:
F Avoid low battery charge (indicated by low voltage)
F Check the voltage regularly (see section 3.3.2)
It is best to carry out checks in the morning before 12V consumers are switched on.

The following table shows how to correctly interpret the leisure battery voltage.

Instruction Manual for LT 50 Control Panel
The values specified above apply for running operation, not for the off-load voltage (see below).
Off-load
voltage

Apart from displaying the battery capacity (see section 3.3.2), measuring the off-load voltage
is a simple and effective method of checking the condition of the battery. Off-load voltage is
understood to be the voltage of the charged battery in a passive state, with no current being
supplied or drawn.
Take the measurement several hours after the last charging. No significant load should have
been placed on the battery in the interim period, meaning no current should have been
drawn from it. If the off-load voltage of the battery is less than 12.0V, there is a risk of total
discharge.
The following table shows the correct interpretation of the off-load voltage displayed. The
values specified apply for Gel batteries.

is empty (or the waste water tank full).
If the LEDs flash, there is a sensor fault on the relevant tank (see section 4.1).

Closing down
A shutdown is understood to be the isolation of the 12V charging system and all consumers
from the batteries. Exceptions:

Possible cause

Remedy

The LT 50 LED panel
switches off by itself.

Risk of draining the leisure battery.

The ”11.0V”
11.0V LED and the
”Leisure battery” symbol
flash on trying to switch on
the LT 50 LED panel (only
EBL 226).

Voltage of the leisure battery
has fallen below 10.5V.

The battery monitor in electroblock EBL ... automatically switches off all consumers.
The battery must be charged immediately (see above).
See the electroblock EBL... instruction manual. .

When the LT 50 LED panel is
switched on or off:

Switch off all 12V consumers.

-- Voltage of the leisure battery
too low (less than 11.0V)
-- Voltage of the leisure battery
has fallen below 11.0V
When the LT 50 LED panel is
switched off:

Charge the battery:
-- The LT 50 LED panel, and
-- Start engine
hence the 12V supply to the
leisure area, can no longer
or
be switched on (to protect the
-connect
to 230V power supbattery) when the leisure batply
tery voltage is less than
10.5V.
-- The ”11.0V” LED and the
”Leisure battery” symbol flash
on trying to switch on the LT
50 LED panel (only EBL
226).

Not for CSV 410-2:

Charge the battery:

When the LT 50 LED panel is
switched on or off:

-- Start engine

-- Voltage of the starter battery
too low (less than 11.5V)
When the LT 50 LED panel is
switched on and on display of
the ”Starter Battery” voltage:

Faults
A flat battery or defective fuse is the cause of most faults in the 12V system.
For targeted fault location and troubleshooting, the battery must be fully charged and the
system must be connected to the 230V mains supply.

If the leisure battery is discharged, the 12V supply can be re-established by starting the engine.
If fuses are blown: Refer to the instruction manual for the relevant EBL... electroblock for
