Votronic 5744 VPC Merkur combination panel built-in display

The Votronic VPC Power Control Merkur (MPN 5744) is part of an innovative series of combination panels that have been specially developed for installation in motorhomes. Merkur acts as a control board and can, for example, perform important switching functions based on parameters such as temperature or battery voltage via the integrated switch output. Merkur's LCD display provides current data on the charging voltage of the board and service battery. Another highlight is the integrated solar computer, which is identical to the LCD Solar Computer S in terms of functions and display range. It is compatible with most Votronic solar charge controllers and the Triple series.

The bright display provides you with the most important information about your system. It also shows the time. The two built-in USB charging sockets, each with an output of 2.5A at 5V, provide additional convenience. The Merkur's range of features is rounded off by the temperature display for the vehicle interior and the outside temperature. The two required temperature sensors are already included in the scope of delivery.
