n
The electrical installation must be in
accordance with the national regulations
of the respective countries.
n
The connection cables must be routed in
a way to prevent contact with hot com-
ponents of the unit/burner or with sharp
edges.
n
Cable cross-sections must be large
enough to avoid performance degradati-
on of the refrigerator by high voltage
drop on the cable.
n
Changes to the internal electrical instal-
lation or the connection of other electri-
cal components (e.g. external fan) to the
internal wiring of the appliance will ren-
der the e1/ CE admittance as well as any
claims from warranty and product liabili-
ty void.
* Specialised personnel are accredited experts who are
able, by virtue of their training and knowledge, to vouch
for the correct installation.
4.9
Electrical installation
The electrical installation shall be carried
out by qualified personnel only.
WARNING!
4.9.1 Mains connection
The power should be supplied by a properly
grounded socket outlet. Where a socket outlet
with mains supply is used, the outlet must be
freely accessible.
Should the connection cable be damaged,
have it replaced by Dometic Customer
Services or by qualified personnel to avoid
hazards.

4.9.2 Battery connection
The machine's 12V connection cable is con-
nected (observing correct polarity) to a termi-
nal strip (RMx 8xx0) or plug-in-cotacts (RMx
8xx1, 8xx5). The wiring for the 12V heating
element (refer to A, B wiring diagram connec-
tions) must be direct and by the shortest pos-
sible route to the battery.
Provide a 20 A fuse to protect the 12V hea-
ting element circuit.
In order to ensure that the 12V power supply is
shut off when stopping the engine (otherwise
the battery would discharge within a few
hours), connect the power supply to the 12V
heating element (connection A/B in wiring dia-
gram) in a way to have the 12V supply only live
while the vehicle ignition is switched on.
The connection C/D (interior light, electronics)
must be permanently provided by a 12V DC
power supply to be protected by a 2A fuse.
If the appliance is installed in a caravan
the respective leads for the 12V+ and 12V-
connections A/B and C/D must not be
connected to each other on the caravan-
side .
