8.5.1 12 V main switch
The 12 V main switch (Fig. 50,1) switches the panel and the 12 V power
supply of the living area on and off.
Exception: Depending on the model, basic light (lighting in the entrance
area), and entrance step remain ready to operate.

Press switch " " (Fig. 50,1): The 12 V living area power supply is
switched on. The LED lights up green.

Press switch " " (Fig. 50,1) again: The 12 V living area power supply
is switched off. The LED goes out.

When leaving the vehicle, switch off the main 12 V power supply at the
panel. This prevents any unnecessary discharge of the living area bat-
tery.

Appliances, such as control units (e.g. solar charge regulator, defroster
or panel) or fitted appliances (e.g. step) continue to take power from the
battery capacity, even if the 12 V power supply on the panel is switched
off. Therefore disconnect the living area battery from the 12 V power
supply via the switch on the transformer/rectifier if the vehicle will not be
used for a long period of time.
8.5.2 LED array for battery voltage
The LED array (Fig. 50,7) displays the battery voltage of the living area bat-
tery as follows:

All LEDs are lit: battery is sufficiently charged.

Yellow and red LEDs are lit: battery is partly discharged.

Only red LED is lit: battery is discharged.

Red LED is flashing: battery is totally discharged.

Press the button " " (Fig. 50,3): the battery voltage of the living area
battery is displayed.
The following tables will help you correctly interpret the battery voltage of the
living area battery displayed on the panel.
