Hi all, thanks for all your help & advice, I contacted swift who make my caravan about my towing electrics issue & they put me in touch with Sargent who manufacture all the electrical wiring / fuse boards for most caravans / motorhomes. They have manufactured a new fuse board unit called the...

several months on with experience of reaching into the wardrobe to flick the ac rocker switch, i finally went your way @Stay Frosty and took a feed from the MCB in the Sargent and moved the red switch to a more accessible position as part of a fridge swap out.

...or north east that could help me with wiring diagram and sizes also fuses isolaters needed etc for the following set up I have a vw t6 with a Sargent ec155 already fitted any help would be much appreciated willing to pay for anybody’s help or for someone to carry out the work I’ve today been...

...and his superb service in posting to me so quickly and professionally - See pick of your package below ;-) ). I am pleased to say that the Sargent has stopped alarming and all seems to be ok on that side of things, however, there is still an issue in that when I switch on the Sargent and...

the reverse polarity light is on the sargent ec106 consumer unit in the camper

My understanding is that the Sargent is a fixed voltage charger so even if it were fixed it would only be suitable for a lead acid battery. Have the same Smart Charger as Roblee and will be using that on mine. Inclined to remove the Sargent altogether once I have figured out the wiring which...

Yes Ian, when you take the woodwork apart in the wardrobe it's easier to see the wiring to the back of the Sargent unit and you can get to the MCB connections. I've put a Victron 12/30 smart charger on the side of the fridge housing at low level behind the drivers seat with a single 230V skt...

So how are the Sargent/Victron/CTEK/Battery connected? Do you have diagrams or pictures? Was the CTEK fitted as part of the change or part of the original install. The problem is that fitting an EC155+CTEK is a way of supporting effective AGM charging on a smart alternator vehicle, but it...

The Sargent units heritage is from caravan days when the fridge would be an absorption fridge with a 12v heater only used when driving. So you may find that the fridge isn't connected through this as a lot of compressor fridges are sensitive to voltage drop on start up and are commonly wired...

Yes i have o i have the Revolution conversion. It had the Sterling B2B and Sargent EC power distribution and charger. The Sterling got replaced by a more compact less cumbersome Victron. I removed the internal constant voltage battery charger from the Sargent as tge Leisure Battery was an AGM...

Hi, so installing the CTEK DC-DC charger and Sargent EC155 this week. I am aware the CTEK needs to be attached to a switched live in fuse Board and have for a piggy back to do this. I believe middle row 3 Down? my question is the Sargent also needs a connection for running signal.... could I...

After buying a t6 with only a Sargent ec160 taking care of the leisure battery I realised it was time to upgrade. so I’ve installed a ctek 250se and got all that hard wired in. now what do I do with the Sargent as it has a built in split charge. The unit runs all my electrics apart from the...

...on both goes to 13 - 14v then you have the charger as described. So yes, the charger can charge the Vehicle battery, if fitted. Usage The Sargent controls what 12v is used in the conversion (the back of the van). Normally this will be run from the leisure battery, but if you run that down...

...I hard-wire a charger/optimiser to the leisure battery, power it via a 240v socket for better charging on ehu?? Remove charger fuse from Sargent unit?. This would still allow Sargent control board to switch 12v etc on? Seems a very easy, obvious solution and i could fit an AGM leisure battery...

All understood, thanks.

Neat. Keen to see how you get on with this

https://www.jacksonsleisure.com/content/pdf/Sargent/EC155-50-User-Instructions.pdf i would disconect the powerplugs for the EC155, and check and reseat them. and check that you have LB voltage on pins 8/9 starter battery SB voltage on pins 5/6 and a good ground on pins 2/3.

That’s with an AGM battery and the standard Sargent mains charger (plus some solar but I doubt that will help this weekend!)

...hour. So I’m looking forward to fitting it to the board. The MPPT is on its way also but will live in the cupboard at the back next to the Sargent. The PV isolation switches will be in there also. So most of work left will be in mounting the solar panel and then running the power cable to...

From your use case summary above you only require the LB for fridge and 12v lights. The Sargent charger is for 240v hookup. As you need a dc-dc charger anyway, and you already have solar with mppt (assuming this is lifepo compatable) then using a 105Ah lifepo will give you enough power for a...
