SETEC 20-11 unit.... info please.


Hello All,

 

Can anyone tell me anything about this unit ?? I have this unit in my Ranger Panorama, and it is fried. The van is a year old, but the unit looks like it's a LOT older than this...I'm wondering if this has not been "swapped " for whatever unit was originally in it ??

 The 11 in the number is a roman numeral 2. The handbooks used to be available on line but I can't find them today. Anyone interested can PM me their e-mail address and I can send you copies.

Some general interest links: http://www.setec.com.au/index.php/jayco-users/88-st-series-tips-and-common-questions#Top http://www.setec.com.au/index.php/jayco-users/113-jaycofaq

The Setec ST series of power supplies are not a particularly efficient battery charger. If you are using it with a battery I suggest you replace it with an efficient 3 or 4 stage charger. Setec power supplies (PSUs) are very expensive and a good charger will be cheaper as well as better.

If you don't have a battery then a 20 A fixed 13.8 V PSU will be cheaper. You will have to find a panel or ventilator to blank off the hole the Setec came out ofand also a new fuse box. An alternative would be to install an 80 Ah deep cycle battery with a good battery charger and fuse box, this will also be cheaper than replacing the Setec

Did not see that it was a Roman 2

For Firefox users, the second link does not work. I had been using hat one for yonks but it did not work when I tested it for inclusion in my previous reply. However it works in Safari and Chrome. Firefox users can access the links to the Setec handbooks through the first link.

I got the second link to work ok in Firefox so maybe it has something to do with your settings for downloading PDFs (perhaps?)

I sometimes have problems downloading some PDFs, especially the Greynomad Times. I usually have to right click the link and select the download option there.

Thanx for the replies,.... I have found the unit online, but EVERY mention of it has the word Jayco in front of it, which is making me think I;ve got a swapped unit ??

It' was attached to 2 x 100 Ah batteries, but they never semed to be more than half charged at the best of times. Best reading was about 12.2 volts.

I now have a 30 amp 12 volt charger attached to the system, which puts out a very adequate average 13.9 volts.
