Electrical system
8
The transformer/rectifier only works in conjunction with a panel.
The power in the transformer/rectifier (> 18 A) is divided into charging current
and current to the appliances. The charging current is always just the portion
that is not being used by any appliances. If the current to the appliances
exceeds the current available, then the living area battery is discharged.
Position
The transformer/rectifier is located inside the seat console below the driver's
seat.
8.4.1
Battery cut-off switch
The battery cut-off switch switches off
all
the appliances in the living area,
even inactive ones. Even appliances such as the entrance step, basic lighting
or the refrigerator will stop working. This prevents the living area battery from
slowly discharging if the vehicle is not used for a longer period of time (e.g.
temporary lay-up).
If the vehicle is connected to the 230 V power supply, the batteries can then
be charged from the transformer/rectifier, even if the battery cut-off switch is
switched off.
8.4.2
Battery selector switch
8.4.3
Battery monitor
The battery monitor in the transformer/rectifier monitors the voltage in the
living area battery.
If the battery voltage falls below 10.5 V, the battery monitor in the transformer/
rectifier switches off all the 12 V appliances.
Measures:
Switch off all electrical appliances that are not absolutely essential at the
corresponding switch.
If necessary, use the 12 V main switch to switch the 12 V power supply
back on for a short while. This is only possible, however, when the battery
voltage is above 11 V. If the voltage is below this level, the 12 V power
supply cannot be switched on again until the living area battery has been
recharged.
X
If the battery selector switch is set incorrectly, there is the danger of the
formation of detonating (oxy-hydrogen gas). Danger of explosion!
Z
Incorrect setting of the battery selector switch damages the living area bat-
tery.
Z
The factory settings of the battery selector switch must not be changed.
Z
You must fully recharge a discharged living area battery as soon as pos-
sible.
