The AE183-M8 is Designed and Manufactured by Apuljack Electronics in the UK. It is a superior modern replacement PCB for the Nord
Elettronica NE183-M8 control panel (1432.183.03) found in many Swift Caravans. The key features are:-
- Modern, crisp, clear OLED display
- Efficient & low power
- Direct replacement
- Enhanced reporting displays
- Low-battery warning alert at 11.8V
- Same fixings and connectors as the original
- Simple and Easy to fit
Fitting takes only a couple of minutes and is simple - only a screwdriver is needed:- remove the electrical connectors, remove the screws to remove the old circuit board, refit the new circuit board using the same screws/holes, refit the electrical connectors.
The AE183-M8 features a modern OLED display, giving crisp and
clear graphics with almost 180°-180° viewing angle. The OLED display technology does
not rely on a back-light, like the display in the original NE183-M8. Each pixel emits its own clean crisp light meaning that it can read in total darkness with complete clarity. On top of that, in todays world of green energy saving the OLED display draws 5 times less power than the original LCD.
The AE183-M8 also has enhanced combined displays that allow the user to see system status, data and warnings on one combined display. There is even a choice of display screen formats so you can choose your favourite and set it as your default display. Apuljack Electronics have also enhanced the displays to help users determine where their energy is going - a common confusion with the original control panel.
The original NE183-M8 panels are manufactured in Italy, and are now very hard to get hold of due to import issues, problems obtaining the old components and their end of life status. However, the AE183-M8 is manufactured in the UK using the most modern components and is in plentiful supply.
