CBE PC 210 LCD control panel for caravan electrical systems.

The CBE PC 210 Control Panel brings modern LCD technology to your caravan or motorhome's electrical management. This replacement panel features a graphic LCD display with 12 colour options, making it straightforward to monitor your leisure battery status, water levels, and lighting circuits at a glance. It's designed as a direct replacement for older CBE control panels with dimensions of 170 x 80mm that's been used across many European-built touring caravans and motorhomes since the early 2000s. You'll find it specified in brands like Swift, Bailey, and Elddis, among others.

The colour-coded display takes the guesswork out of checking your caravan's systems. Battery voltage shows in real-time, water tank levels are clearly indicated, and you can see which lights or pumps are active without second-guessing switch positions. Available in black or white finishes, it matches most caravan interior colour schemes without looking out of place. The LCD technology is easier to read in bright sunlight compared to older LED-based panels, though like most LCD screens, it can be harder to see in very cold temperatures until it warms up slightly.

Installing this panel requires basic wiring knowledge, as you'll need to match the existing CBE wiring harness to the new unit. The PC 210 works with CBE's DS 300 distribution systems, which handle the actual switching and fusing behind the scenes. If you're upgrading from a much older analogue panel, you might need to check compatibility with your distribution box first. The compact dimensions mean it suits smaller panel spaces where newer, larger touchscreen units simply won't fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caravans and motorhomes is the CBE PC 210 compatible with?

The CBE PC 210 fits caravans and motorhomes with existing CBE electrical systems, particularly those using the DS 300 distribution box. It's commonly found in Swift, Bailey, Elddis, Compass, and many other European-built leisure vehicles from the 2000s onwards. The panel requires a 170 x 80 mm cutout, which is the standard CBE panel size used across these manufacturers. If your current panel is a CBE unit with this cutout size, the PC 210 should be compatible, though checking your distribution box model is recommended before purchasing.

What does the 12 colour display actually show?

The 12 colour graphic LCD displays your leisure battery voltage with colour-coded indicators showing charge status, fresh water and waste water tank levels, and the operational status of lighting circuits and water pumps. Different colours represent different system states, for example green typically indicates good battery charge while red shows low voltage. The display shows multiple pieces of information simultaneously on one screen, unlike older single-function LED panels that required cycling through different modes.

Can I install the CBE PC 210 myself or do I need an electrician?

Installation requires understanding of 12V caravan wiring systems and the ability to safely disconnect the leisure battery before starting work. The panel connects via a multi-pin connector to your existing CBE distribution box, and if you're replacing an existing CBE panel, it's often a case of unplugging the old unit and connecting the new one. However, the work involves accessing live 12V circuits, and incorrect installation could damage the panel or create electrical faults. If you're not confident working with caravan electrical systems, having a qualified caravan technician or mobile engineer fit the panel ensures it's done correctly and safely.

What's the difference between the black and white versions?

The only difference is the colour of the plastic surround and button fascia. The black version has a dark grey to black frame that suits modern caravan interiors with darker trim, while the white version has a light cream or white frame that matches traditional beige and cream caravan colour schemes. The LCD screen, functionality, dimensions, and wiring connections are identical between both versions. Choose based on which colour best matches your existing control panel area and interior trim.

Will the CBE PC 210 work in freezing temperatures?

LCD displays can become sluggish or temporarily unreadable when temperatures drop below freezing, typically below minus 5 degrees Celsius. The panel will still function electrically and your caravan systems will work normally, but the screen response may slow down and the display might appear faint until the interior warms up. This is a characteristic of LCD technology rather than a fault. Once your caravan heating brings the interior temperature above freezing, the display returns to normal operation. If you regularly use your caravan in winter, keeping some background heating on prevents this temporary display issue.

Does the CBE PC 210 replace older CBE panels?

The PC 210 is designed as a replacement for earlier CBE control panels that use the same 170 x 80 mm cutout size and connect to CBE DS 300 series distribution boxes. It upgrades older LED-based panels to the newer graphic LCD display technology. However, very old CBE systems from the 1990s or early 2000s might use different wiring configurations or distribution boxes that aren't compatible. The key compatibility factor is having a CBE DS 300 distribution system behind your existing panel. If you have an older CBE DS 200 or similar system, you may need to upgrade the distribution box as well as the panel.
