Arizon NEXUS Power Control System: Smarter, More Personalised Off-Grid Power Management

When you're travelling off-grid, having reliable power is only part of the equation. Knowing how much power you have, where it's coming from, where it's being used and how to control it, can make the difference between simply having power and having complete confidence in your electrical system.

The Arizon NEXUS Power Control System has been designed to bring charging, power management, digital switching, monitoring and control together in one integrated solution for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, vans and 4WD applications.

For manufacturers and repairers, NEXUS provides a pre-wired and integrated approach to power system installation. For owners and end users, it provides a simpler, more personalised way to monitor and control the electrical systems that keep their adventures running.

What Is The Arizon NEXUS Power Control System?

The Arizon NEXUS is an integrated power control and energy management system designed to simplify the way auxiliary power is generated, stored, distributed and monitored.

At the heart of the system is the NEXUS Core, which connects the major components of the electrical system and provides intelligent control and monitoring.

The NEXUS architecture brings together:

  • DC-DC and MPPT solar charging

  • Inverter and AC charging

  • Battery monitoring

  • Digital switching

  • Circuit protection

  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity

  • Touchscreen system control

  • Mobile app connectivity

  • Real-time power monitoring

  • Water tank monitoring

  • Remote technical support capabilities

The result is a more connected and personalised power management system for modern recreational vehicles.

One Integrated System For Charging & Power Management

One of the key advantages of the NEXUS system is the way its components work together.

The Arizon NEXUS DC to DC Plus combines DC-DC charging and MPPT solar charging into a single 100A charging unit.

When a caravan is connected to its tow vehicle, the system can utilise up to 50A from the vehicle and up to 50A from solar, providing a combined 100A charging capability when conditions allow.

Once the caravan is disconnected from the tow vehicle, the charging capacity can be directed to solar, allowing the available solar array to provide up to the unit's 100A charging capability, subject to solar generation, battery requirements and system conditions.

For manufacturers and installers, combining these charging functions into an integrated system can help simplify the overall electrical architecture.

For owners, it means the system can intelligently make use of available charging sources as they travel and camp.

3000W Inverter & 200A AC Charger In One Unit

The Arizon NEXUS Wave Plus combines a 3000W inverter and 200A AC charger into a single integrated unit.

The inverter allows stored battery energy to be converted into 230V AC power for compatible appliances and equipment, helping bring many of the conveniences of home to an off-grid environment.

The Wave Plus also incorporates:

  • Bluetooth connectivity

  • Built-in RCD protection

  • Built-in changeover switching

This provides a more integrated approach to managing both AC and DC power within the recreational vehicle.

For manufacturers and repairers, integrating these functions into the NEXUS architecture can help create a cleaner and more organised power system.

For end users, it means greater visibility and control over the power available to run their appliances when travelling away from mains power.

The NEXUS Core: The Brains Of The System

The Arizon NEXUS Core is at the centre of the NEXUS power control system.

It brings together key monitoring, protection and switching functions, including:

  • Integrated battery shunt

  • Wi-Fi connectivity

  • Bluetooth connectivity

  • Circuit fusing and protection

  • Digital switching

  • System communication and control

The digital switching capability can control up to 10 circuits, providing a practical way to manage common 12V electrical loads throughout a caravan, motorhome or van.

These can include equipment such as:

  • Interior and exterior lighting

  • Water pumps

  • Fans

  • Refrigeration-related loads

  • Auxiliary equipment

  • Other 12V accessories

Instead of relying solely on conventional physical switches, digital switching allows these circuits to become part of the vehicle's broader power management system.

Personalised Control With The NEXUS IQ7 Touchscreen

The Arizon NEXUS IQ7 touchscreen provides a central interface for controlling and monitoring the power system.

From the touchscreen, users can access functions such as:

  • Digital circuit switching

  • Inverter on/off control

  • Lighting control

  • Battery state of charge

  • Current consumption

  • Solar charging

  • Power flow

  • Water tank levels

One of the most useful features is the visual representation of power flow.

The IQ7 can display energy moving through the system, showing power flowing from the solar array into the battery, and from the battery to the vehicle's electrical loads.

This makes it easier for users to understand what is happening within their power system without needing to interpret complex electrical data.

Additional screens, such as the IQ4 can also be added, to areas such as the bathroom or beside the bed, giving end users even more access throughout their caravan.

See Your Power Consumption In Real Time

The NEXUS system provides real-time information about the vehicle's electrical system.

Users can monitor battery percentage and current consumption while also seeing how much power is being generated and where that power is being used.

The display can also be configured to show electrical loads in either amps or watts, giving users the flexibility to view information in the format they find easiest to understand.

For experienced users, this provides detailed information about system performance.

For less technical users, it provides a simple visual way to understand whether they are generating more energy than they are consuming.

Monitor Your Water Tanks From The Same Screen

Power management isn't the only information the NEXUS system can bring together.

The IQ7 can monitor up to eight water tanks, with tanks one and two also capable of being configured for temperature sensing where required.

This helps bring multiple vehicle systems together through a single user interface rather than requiring separate displays for different functions.

Designed Around The Way People Actually Travel

An important part of designing a modern power management system is making it practical to use.

The NEXUS IQ7 includes features designed around everyday use in caravans, motorhomes and vans.

For example, if the display is positioned near a bed, users can activate sleep mode to reduce the screen illumination when they are going to sleep.

The display can also be configured with either a black or white background, allowing users to select their preferred appearance.

These may seem like small details, but they contribute to a system that is designed around the way people actually use their recreational vehicles.

Control Your NEXUS System From Your Phone

For users who prefer to manage their power system from their smartphone, the NEXUS platform also provides Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Through the Arizon App, users can connect to the individual components within their NEXUS system and access important information without necessarily needing to be standing in front of the main touchscreen.

This can be particularly useful when you're outside the vehicle, checking the system from around the campsite or simply wanting to monitor what's happening without returning to the main display.

Greater Visibility Means Greater Confidence Off-Grid

One of the biggest advantages of an integrated power management system is visibility.

When you're camping away from mains power, understanding your energy usage becomes increasingly important.

Knowing:

How much energy am I storing?

How much solar power am I generating?

How much power am I using?

Which appliances are consuming the most energy?

Is my battery charging or discharging?

How much capacity do I have remaining?

This can help you make better decisions about how you use your available energy.

The NEXUS system brings this information together into an accessible interface, helping take some of the guesswork out of managing an off-grid electrical system.

Benefits For Caravan, Motorhome & Van Manufacturers

For manufacturers, integrating an advanced power management system can provide benefits throughout the vehicle design and production process.

The NEXUS system has been developed as an integrated, pre-wired solution, helping simplify the integration of key power management components.

Its architecture can provide:

  • A more organised electrical installation

  • Integrated charging and inverter functions

  • Centralised digital switching

  • Integrated monitoring

  • Touchscreen control

  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

  • Reduced reliance on multiple separate displays and controls

  • A more premium user experience

This can help manufacturers deliver recreational vehicles with a sophisticated electrical system that is easier for the customer to understand and interact with.

Benefits For Repairers & Electrical Technicians

For service centres, repairers and technicians, having greater visibility of the electrical system can also be valuable.

Rather than assessing individual components in isolation, an integrated monitoring system provides access to information about the overall power system.

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity can also provide technicians with additional information when diagnosing system performance.

And when additional assistance is required, Arizon's specialist technical support team can remotely access the system to assist with diagnosis and troubleshooting, helping technicians and customers get the support they need.

Designed For Today's Off-Grid Traveller

Modern caravans, motorhomes and campervans increasingly rely on sophisticated electrical systems to power everything from refrigeration and lighting to air conditioning, cooking appliances, entertainment and connectivity.

As battery capacity, solar capacity and electrical loads continue to increase, simply installing more power isn't necessarily the answer.

Better monitoring and better control are equally important.

The Arizon NEXUS Power Control System brings charging, energy management, digital switching, monitoring and user control together into one connected platform.

Whether you're a manufacturer designing the next generation of recreational vehicles, a repairer looking for a smarter way to manage electrical systems, or an owner wanting greater control over your off-grid power, NEXUS provides a more personalised approach to recreational vehicle power management.
