Votronic Power Control VPC Multi-Panel System

The VOTRONIC Power Control (VPC for short) is an innovative multi-panel system for motorhomes that brings together the most important functions and information in a user-friendly way in a single device. The information is presented via a bright, white illuminated graphic display. The large values displayed are easy to read in all lighting conditions, even from a distance

Colored LEDs signal the selected function at any time. The individual versions differ in their range of functions, which are designed to meet the specific requirements of different vehicle types. While the Jupiter version, for example, leaves virtually nothing to be desired in terms of power supply and filling levels, the Merkur version is particularly recommended for more compact vehicles that often do not have fixed tanks.

All devices have at least a voltage indicator for the on-board and starter battery and a switching output for an external relay as main switch. A disengageable alarm (beeper) on the panel as well as a note in the display draw attention to when an adjustable energy threshold has been fallen below and the main switch will automatically switch off in a few seconds to prevent deep discharge of the battery.

The marine versions are devices for boats with moisture-protected electronics additionally equipped

Details
The three versions (Terra, Mercury and Jupiter) differ in the scope of functions as follows:

• Voltage display for start and on-board battery (available for VPC Terra, Mercury and Jupiter versions)
