The PC210 kit is the new upgraded version of the PC200 with either a Black Gloss or White Gloss Control Panel.
The CBE PC210 kit provides a complete 12V electrical installation for campervan and motorhome conversions. Built around the PC210 digital control panel with its 2.9-inch colour LCD display and capacitive touch switches, this microprocessor-controlled system manages your leisure battery, monitors tank levels, and controls lighting and water pumps. The kit includes the DS300 12V fused distribution box, DS120S 230V AC mini consumer unit with RCD, CB-516 16A battery charger, temperature sensors, and all necessary wiring harnesses.
This system works with lead-acid leisure batteries in vehicles fitted with standard alternators (Euro 4 spec engines or earlier). The DS300 distribution box handles split charging of your leisure battery and provides trickle charging back to the starter battery at up to 2A when connected to mains power. You get 11 fused circuits for distributing power around your vehicle, automatic control for 3-way fridges and electric steps, plus connection points for adding a solar panel controller.
One limitation to be aware of: the voltage-sensing split charging won't function properly in vehicles with Euro 5 or 6 spec engines that have smart alternators. If you're converting a newer vehicle, you'll need to disable the built-in split charging and fit a separate battery-to-battery charger. The kit doesn't include a fresh water level sensor either, though you can add one separately. The control panel displays starter and leisure battery voltage, internal and external temperatures, water tank levels, and gives you touch-button control over all your main electrical functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, the CBE PC210 kit is designed exclusively for lead-acid leisure batteries. The DS300 distribution box uses voltage-sensing split charging technology that monitors voltage levels to determine charging states, which works differently with lithium batteries due to their flatter voltage curves. Lithium batteries also require different charging profiles and often need battery management systems that this kit doesn't provide. If you're planning to use lithium batteries, you'll need a different electrical system designed specifically for lithium chemistry.
The kit can be installed in Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles, but the built-in split charging feature won't work properly with smart alternators fitted to these newer engines. Smart alternators vary their output voltage based on driving conditions and battery state, which confuses the voltage-sensing split charge relay. To use this kit in a newer vehicle, you need to disconnect the split charging function and install a separate battery-to-battery charger (also called a DC-DC charger) that's designed to work with smart alternators. The rest of the kit functions normally.
Fresh water tank installations vary significantly between different vehicle conversions in terms of tank shape, size, mounting position, and sensor type compatibility. Some converters prefer ultrasonic sensors, others use reed switch probes, and tank configurations affect which sensor type works best. By not including a fresh water sensor as standard, CBE allows you to choose the most appropriate sensor for your specific tank setup. The PC210 control panel has the connections and calibration settings ready for when you add your chosen fresh water sensor separately.
Yes, the DS300 distribution box has a dedicated connection point for adding a solar panel charge controller. The solar controller isn't included in the kit, so you need to purchase one separately based on your solar panel wattage. The solar controller connects to the distribution box and charges your leisure battery independently of the mains charger and split charging system. When sizing your solar controller, consider both your current solar panel capacity and any future expansion plans.
The CB-516 battery charger in the kit outputs 16A, which suits leisure batteries from around 75Ah up to 200Ah capacity. For optimal charging performance, match your charger output to roughly 10-20% of your battery capacity, meaning a 16A charger works best with batteries between 80Ah and 160Ah. You can use smaller or larger batteries, but charging times will vary. The PC210 control panel monitors battery voltage to help you assess your battery's state of charge and health, working with any 12V lead-acid leisure battery regardless of capacity.
The DS300 distribution box uses voltage-sensing split charging technology. When your engine runs and the alternator charges the starter battery, the voltage rises above a preset threshold (typically around 13.3V). The split charge relay detects this voltage increase and closes, allowing current to flow from the alternator to your leisure battery through the relay. When you stop the engine and voltage drops, the relay opens again to isolate the batteries and prevent your leisure battery from draining the starter battery. This system only works effectively with standard alternators found in Euro 4 or earlier engines.
Beyond the CBE PC210 kit, you need to purchase a 12V lead-acid leisure battery, a fresh water level sensor if you want tank monitoring, appropriate gauge cable for connecting your battery to the distribution box, and any additional fuses for your specific appliances. You'll also need a mains hook-up lead to connect the system to campsite electric points. Depending on your conversion, you might want to add a battery-to-battery charger for newer vehicles, a solar charge controller if adding solar panels, and appropriate switches, sockets, and light fittings for your interior layout.
The 12V side of the installation requires good electrical knowledge but can be completed by experienced DIY converters who understand automotive electrical systems, battery safety, and circuit protection. The 230V AC components must be installed by a qualified electrician and inspected to comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Incorrect installation of the mains system creates serious safety hazards including electric shock and fire risk. Most insurance companies and vehicle certifiers require proof that 230V installations were completed by certified professionals. The system also needs proper earthing and bonding to meet safety standards.
