GETTING STARTED

test button. Once pressed all electrical lights
and appliances should cease to operate.
Reset, and then check the electrical system
is operational.
(x) Finally in order to get your 12V system

DISCONNECTING MAINS SUPPLY
WHEN LEAVING SITE
(i) Switch ‘OFF’ at the caravan mains isolating
switch.
(ii) Remove the male plug from the site supply.
(iii) Disconnect the female plug from the
caravan and store the cable in an
appropriate locker.
OVERSEAS ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please Note: Connection to a mains voltage
supply OVERSEAS requires particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting supplies
abroad since the supplies can be of REVERSE
POLARITY.
The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is that
when equipment is switched off, it may not be
electrically isolated. The only certain way of
making equipment safe is to unplug it.
A means of checking the polarity of the mains
supply when overseas is recommended. There are
available several proprietary makes of equipment
for the purpose.
If it can be achieved, it is preferable to connect
live to live, and neutral to neutral to maintain full
electrical protection.
CHECK all caravan equipment is set-up to accept
the site supply before actually switching on.
