Thetford N150 Fridge Freezer & N180 Refrigerator  Instructions

Switching on the refrigerator

1. Open the valve of the gas bottle

2. Open the taps of the gas supply

3. Press main switch (A). The function LED will turn blue and all

symbols on the LCD display will light up.

4. Use the mode selector switch to select the “Auto” function, or one of

the power sources that you want. The LCD display will show you the
option you have selected.

5. Set the desired refrigerator cooling level by means of the cooling

level selection switch (C). The LCD display will show you the cooling
level setting that you have selected.

POWERING WITH ELECTRICITY

Auto Mode

Mains Voltage (230V)

This energy source will be selected if the mains voltage is greater than 200V.
This power supply requires a continuous current of 12V to operate the
electronic control system.

Direct Current (12V)

The SES system will select 12V powering only if a mains voltage (230V) is
unavailable, the vehicle engine is running and a voltage higher than 11V is
available. If a fault occurs during electrical powering (230V or 12V), an error
message will not be shown on the display as long as another energy source
is available. The system will automatically switch to the available energy
source that has the highest priority.

Selecting Manually

Mains Voltage (230V)

The LED on the main switch warns you whenever insufficient voltage is
available or if a fault occurs. If this happens, the LED will change from 
green to red and flash once per second and an error code is shown on 
the LCD display. When sufficient current is available again, or the fault 
has been resolved, the main switch LED will emit a steady green light.

Direct Current (12V)

The main switch LED warns you whenever your vehicle’s engine is not
running, or if a fault occurs, or if insufficient voltage is available. If this
happens, the LED will change from green to red and flash once per second
and an error code is shown on the LCD display. Once the engine is running,
or the fault has been resolved, or sufficient voltage is available again, the
main switch will again emit a steady green light.

NB. if the refrigerator has been manually set to operate at 12V, it will 
not automatically switch to another energy source when your vehicle’s
engine is not running. In this case the refrigerator will stop cooling.
