Ranger PA10 Direct power Supply |
|
Ranger PA10. Instructions
for use. |
Introduction
The New RANGER PA10 has been designed to provide a DIRECT Power Supply
to the 12v Services in a caravan or boat when fed from a 220/240v
mains supply. Its torroidal transformer made to BS3535 has an output
of about 120watts. The RANGER'S 12v Output is sufficiently smoothed
to enable it to operate fluorescent lights, water pump, and other
12v services efficiently. If a battery is installed, the RANGER will
charge the battery at a variable rate depending on the power demand
being required of the 12v system. It will not overcharge a battery
in good condition. The RANGER will automatically reduce to a trickle
charge, as the battery charges up. |
|
Installation
The RANGER PA10 can be bolted down onto the floor or onto a bulkhead in the usual
way. It wants some space leaving around the installation so that any heat
can be dissipated from the RANGER. It stands to reason that the RANGER should
not be inadvertently covered with clothing, sleeping bags, and simi lair
items. The 240v mains lead should be connected to a protected mains supply,
I.E. a consumer unit fitted with an RCD Mains Protection Device.
The 12v DC output should be connected as follows. Red to 12v positive, and Black
to 12v negative. Connecting up to the correct polarity is vitally important. |
Safety:
The RANGER PA10 is fitted with an 8amp (13 amp blow)
fuse in the 12v output. The correct fuse in the 12v output
must be maintained at all times. Failure to use
the correct fuse will invalidate the warranty on this product. If
unable to obtain the correct fuse send 2x25p stamps to Breckland
Trading Co, at the address below.
Warranty
The RANGER PA10 is covered by a 12month warranty against
faulty manufacture. In the event of any claim, the unit must
be returned in the following condition. The mains and output
leads must ne essentially the same length as originally supplied.
There must be proof that the correct fuse has been used at
all times. Proof of the date and place of purchase must accompany
any claim. |

History & Information |
I purchased my first PA10 in 1995/6 and used
it in our old Thomson Glennevis up until we changed caravans
in March 2008, As we have another Glennevis which did not
have a battery charger or power pack one of the first things
I purchased was a new PA10 for it, took me about 30mins to
fit and I am looking forward to at least another 10 years
before I need another one. These units are ideal if your
caravan, like mine, has a full 12volt system installed with
the 240v electrics as an additional installation after its
original purchase.
The PA10 Power Pack is excellent for use when on site electrics and you
prefer not to use the battery or if you are on site and need to keep
the battery charged ready for the next stop at a small site with no electrics.
I can honestly say that in the many years that I have used this great
item from Breckland Trading company I have never had a problem with it,
not even a blown fuse!
If you are looking for a Power pack for your van then I certainly would
highly recommend a look on the Breckland website, these are one item
that will certainly give you many years of service and prove to be excellent
value for money. |
