volt supply the caravan auxiliary battery
will supply your caravan extra low
voltage system.
NOTE: A BATTERY MUST BE
CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES.
The refrigerator requires that the battery
is connected for the gas igniter to work.
CAUTION!
• As with all types of transformer/
power supply a certain amount of heat
is generated, this will vary with the
charge rate, therefore adequate space
and ventilation must be provided and
maintained around the unit to
aid cooling.
• Keep all flammable materials and
aerosols well away from this appliance
and other sources of heat, as this could
cause the pressure in the aerosol to
rise. Should a seal then fail it is possible
an explosion will ensue.
• N.B. Remember any work, replacing
parts or repair, must only be carried
out when the mains supply has been
disconnected, and only by a qualified
electrician.
Solar panel
Where caravans are fitted with a Solar
Technology International premium
crystalline solar panel. The panel is rated
at 100 watts, meaning in peak conditions
(summer sunshine) it will generate
power at 100 watts per hour.
The panel is bonded to the roof of
the van and pre-wired for continuous
operation. There are no switches to turn
ON or OFF - it is permanently working
(during daylight conditions) so long as
the panel is connected to the battery
via the installed charge controller and
is outdoors.
Solar Panel
The solar panel will continuously deliver
power to charge the leisure battery
in the caravan.
Therefore the leisure
battery must be connected at all times.
If the battery is removed you must also
remove the in-line fuse for the solar
panel. This is located in the fuse holder
situated between the regulator and the
battery. In order to protect the battery
from overcharging and reverse feeding,
an 8Ah charge controller is fitted and
can be found located on the front offside
bed box.
Charge Controller
Please refer to the charge controller
instructions.
