sargent

I’m wanting to upgrade my power set up in my camper. I’m wanting to be able to run for at least a week off grid. Off grid I would run my fridge, and tv for a couple hours at night. The water pump occasionally and the diesel heater very occasionally. I’m in the process of buying a 2000w inverter...

Hello everyone! Just wondering how to go about adding an inverter to our T6. Current setup has Victron Orion tr-smart DC/DC converter and a solar charge controller connected to leisure battery, usual EHU connected to fused consumer unit with Sargent PF200 switching Battery Charger and two...

Hi guys, Hoping you can help. We replaced our leisure battery in July due to the previous being dead - it was tested by our local garage and confirmed so I replaced it. Since then we appear to be having an issue with the split charging system - when on EHU we have endless power which appears...

Hello. I've lost power to my control panel, Sargent ac50. I had presumed the on/off switch was a simple spst switch that just fed the lights and pump switch and battery monitor switch. but all literature talks about this switch using an external relay to control the on/off function. I can;t...

Hi all. Newbie here and I bought a t6 campervan new. It came with a sargent ec 160 to deal with the onboard electrics. I fixed a 200w solar kit from photonic universe, thinking it would happily run the fridge without having to always have an electric hook up. However I noticed that the vehicle...

Got this power unit, it’s been fine and everything seems to be working in the back, but noticed yesterday when switching over to vehicle battery that no voltage is showing, it did before. Although I've also noticed that the liesure battery doesnt seem to take charge as good ( unless im dreaming...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and have my first question... I bought a T6 camper about a month ago. It's come with a few teething problems, one of which was the split charge system being a VSR... So after reading through the forum I've swapped it (and the dead leisure battery) for a victron...

I've having issues with my Sargent EC50 control panel beeping and LEDs illuminating. I did a bit of investigating this morning and found that the panel appears to be live. Note the aluminium backing panel only seems to conduct when the 'inside' of the metal drilled holes is brought into play...

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...

Hi All, Does anyone know if you can change the sergeant control panel to the 210 lcd below via straight swap or is there more involved?

Searched around for the answer but can't find it. Just wondering if it is ok to leave the controller switched on all the time so that I can see the LB voltage, to make sure it's charging with the solar panel. (I mean I have a voltage digital display, not the level on the argent controller itself)

Probably a stupid question I know but....... The Sargent EC155 has an inbuilt 'battery charger' when on hookup. I know this is a constant voltage charger, but if you connected it to the input of the Ablemail, would this not then convert it to a proper charger? Just wondering if i need to buy a...

Hello all, need some help! I want to add an extra 12v socket in my van to my Sargeant EC160 PSU, but I’m not sure which terminals to wire too. Im currently running a twin USB socket & heater from the unit with the normal lights, water pump & fridge. Cheers Mark

Not much to add really. I quite like a control panel with a built in USB and plug sockets (it's smaller looking and less intrusive) but have only ever known people to use Sargent control panels with their conversions. Has anyone used a different one and had no issues?? I know what a Sargent...

Hi, Every now & again the EC155 unit in my camper decided to let off a short series of rapid beeps every 3 minutes or so. Both vehicle & leisure batteries are charged. The unit is not turned on at the time. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks, Ian

I have a customer with a Sargent unit fitted. Having never fitted these I am not very familiar with them. When the van ignition switches off the control panel beeps three times. Anybody know what this is?

Morning All, I’ve just recently bought a T6 and in the middle of converting it. I’m looking at the electrics and have got a Sargent EC155 PMS to control the 12v and 240v circuits. The question I have is that if I install a 100w-200w solar panel to trickle charge the leisure battery then do I...

hi guys , it’s looking like the first chance I get to use my van will be the bus fest in sept I’m wondering how to manage the battery life ! I am having a solar panel fitted to the roof but will have no electric hook up while I’m there so how will it be best to manage the battery as I will be...

Hi All, I’ve recently bought a T6 LWB which has been professionally converted. This is the first campervan I have owned so I’m new to all this. It has an EC155 Control System with an EC51 Control Panel. I have filled up the 30 ltr on board water tank but when I press the pump button it alarms...
