ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
120V SHORE POWER - SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES
The OPUS® comes ed with a 120 volt power system. This 120 Volt power system complies with NFPA and NEC
regulaons.
• The main circuit breaker and panel is located inside the OPUS in the oor well. Always
ensure you have clear access to the panel and it is not blocked at any me.
• The exterior shore power hookup is located on the driver’s side on the main body of
your OP4. With your OP4 we supply a 30ah shore power cable and yellow dog-bone
connecon for both campsite and home outlet connecon. The power cable connects
directly to the side of your OPUS. The dog-bone can be used to adapt the cable to plug
in to your 3-pin socket at home.
• This shore power connecon will provide your OPUS with 120v power to the two 3-pin
sockets in your OPUS and provide power to your NOCO baery charger to charge your
baeries.
• Take care to ensure proper maintenance of the power cord and pigtail accessory items.
Always use a Listed and approved 30ah cable and adapter and a grounded power
source. Never use an extension cord.
• DANGER! Due to potenal danger in failing to heed this warning, the recreaonal
vehicle manufacturer cannot be held responsible should damage, injury or death result
from failure to connect the power cord to a properly grounded power source.
OP4 internal 120v power points:
1. In the long bench storage compartment directly opposite the door. This socket should have your NOCO baery charger
plugged in and is designed to supply the baery.
2. In the storage compartment to the right of the main door.
3. In the storage compartment behind the seang area next to the front bed.
12 VOLT - SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES
The OP4 has two 100ah deep cycle marine baeries installed as well as a fully automac baery charge controller. You
will need to charge your baeries for at least 24hrs prior to each trip using a 120v shore power connecon to ensure that
they are fully charged. The main control panel has a baery volt-meter that will provide an indicaon of the charge level
of your baeries. A fully charged baery bank will be indicated by a full baery symbol and the voltmeter reading around
13.7volts. If you are at a campsite with shore power then we recommend connecng for the duraon of your stay to keep
your baeries fully charged. If you are camping o-site without 120volt power then the length of me that your baeries
will last will depend on how much 12volt energy you use, the ’health’ or condion of your baeries and in some cases the
ambient temperature. Your control panel will show you how much power you are using and how much remaining power is
in your baeries to help you manage your power consumpon.
Your 12v system is controlled by the main control panel (as shown on page 12) which is located behind the exterior panel
to the le of the door. On the panel you will nd the main 12v switch (the big red key). There are separate switches for the
Front water tank pump, Rear water tank pump, lights, 12v sockets, Fridge and Heater (Oponal). To supply power to these
features, use the red main power key and turn the 12v power on your unit and choose the associated switch.
12V POWER - CONT.
The OP4® has many 12v outlets that are a combinaon of standard 12v sockets, mini 12v sockets and USB sockets. There are
also a range of 12v features included with the OPUS, all controlled by the main control panel, the locaons of which are listed
below. All switches have their own reseable breaker located above the switches.
Outlets
• The internal 12v sockets and external 12v socket will operate on 12v power from the leisure baery; heavy usage and
power-hungry appliances will deplete the baery’s charge quickly.
• Inside the OPUS® there are four 12v mini sockets. These are for the 12v LED light strips.
• There are two 12v outlets located a) by the main AIR hose inlet and b) inside the storage compartment behind the
seang area next to the front bed. There is also a 12v/ USB outlet to the le of the door.
• On the exterior, there is one 12v outlets on the main control panel and one by the slide-out kitchen. There are also two
addional 12v mini sockets and a standard 12v socket. The two mini sockets are designed to operate the 12v LED light
on the kitchen and a small annex light.
• In the front tool box / fridge compartment here is a standard 12v socket intended for use with the fridge. In the same
area there is a small switch that operates the fan located in the door (if ed on this model)
Lights
• In both exterior tool box/ fridge compartments there is an LED work light. This has an automac on/o photo sensor.
• Just inside the door by the 12v stereo there is a dimmer light switch that will control the interior foot well lights.
• There is also a rocker switch that controls the light for the exterior light mounted to the side of the OPUS by the kitchen.
Other 12v features
• There are two water tank gauges on the control panel which will display the water level when the ‘water’ buon is
pressed. For more informaon on your water tanks please see the water system secon.
• The OP4 features a 12v stereo/ CD player with two speakers in the foot well
• The trailer lights and electric breaks are wired to a standard 7 pin trailer plug. The OPUS® is ed with electric breaks
with need an in-car electric break controller installed to operate.
• The baery charger is fully automac and will recharge the leisure baery if the OPUS® is connected to an electric hook-
up. The baery will also charge whilst in transit if the tow vehicle has the 7-pin connecon.
BATTERY TIPS!
• The baery indicator on your control panel will show how much energy is le in your baery bank. It is important to note
that it does NOT explicitly show how much usable power is le in your baeries.
• You have a 200 amp baery system. AGM baeries are able to reliably put out over 12.0v of power for 50% of their
capacity. Most 12v appliances will require a 12volt output from the baeries to work. This means you 100 usable amp
hours from a fully charge set of baeries. The indicator on your control panel will show you how much total energy you
have in your enre baery bank. This means that when your indicator shows 50% you have used all of the usable power
within your baery bank. If you connue to drain power from your baeries beyond this point can and will most likely
cause damage to your baery bank.
• AGM baery lifespans are longer when they remain at full charge. Frequently discharging your baeries and leaving
them empty will accelerate the degradaon process of your baeries and reduce their lifespan. The NOCO Genius char-
ger installed in your OP4 will control the amount of charge delivered to your baeries so that they do not over charge,
therefore you can leave your OP4 plugged in at all mes when at home.
• If you are not keeping your OP4 plugged in whilst at home we recommend that you disconnect your baeries to maintain
good baery health. Please see the *care and maintenance secon for more informaon on this topic.
• The CO/LP alarm is wired directly to the baeries. This means that turning the power to the OP4
o on the control panel will NOT shut power o to the CO Alarm. Please follow the winterizaon
process for baery care to ensure you are fully disconnecng the baeries during long periods
of storage.
• Always set your fridge to ‘LOW’ before heading out on your trip. This will use less power from
your baery and allow you longer o-site camping.
