Warning:
It is essential that connections are made exactly as shown.
If the terminal markings are not in accordance with the
diagram, they must be ignored. If in doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
Overseas Connections
Connection to mains voltage overseas requires particular
attention. Electricity supplies abroad may be of reverse
polarity.The significance of this is that when an appliance is
switched off, it may not be electrically isolated.
It is useful to check to polarity of the supply so that the
connection can be made neutral to neutral and live to live as
recommended.Your Auto-Trail, however, is fitted with a double
pole circuit breaker. Check that all motor home equipment is
set to accept the site supply prior to switching it on.
Note:
If too many appliances are in operation at one time,
the MCB may trip.This is a safety measure. On some sites,
the power is not sufficient to power all items. If in doubt,
consult the site manager or warden.
PSU Courtesy Light
The cupboard in which the PSU is situated is equipped with
a courtesy light that is activated when the cupboard door is
opened.This light is supplied by the on board leisure battery
of the vehicle when stationary. Should a fault occur on this
circuit and the light fail, starting the engine will reconnect the
light to the vehicle battery circuit to allow fuses and Circuit
Breakers to be checked etc.
