z
When the vehicle engine is turned off, the transformer/rectifier separates
the starter battery electrically from the living area battery. This prevents the
12 V living area appliances from discharging the starter battery.
z
The battery cut-off switch in the transformer/rectifier separates all the appli-
ances from the living area battery.
The transformer/rectifier only works in conjunction with a panel.
When the transformer/rectifier is subject to a heavy load, the fitted charger
module reduces the charging current. This protects the charger from over-
heating. The transformer/rectifier is subject to a heavy load when e.g. an
empty living area battery is being charged, additional electrical appliances are
turned on and the ambient temperatures are high.
Position
The transformer/rectifier is installed in the driver's area below the left-hand
seat.
9.4.1
Battery cut-off switch
The battery cut-off switch disconnects all the living area 12 V appliances. 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).
The batteries can still be charged by the transformer/rectifier when the battery
cut-off switch is turned off.
Switching on/off:
Push the battery cut-off switch upwards: Battery On ("Batterie Ein").
Push the battery cut-off switch downwards: Battery Off ("Batterie Aus").
9.4.2
Battery selector switch
Z
After switching the battery cut-off switch back on again: Put the basic light
(lighting in the entrance area), entrance step, heater and spare 4 back into
service (depending on the model). To do so, switch on the 12 V main switch
briefly. This also applies if the living area battery was disconnected and
then reconnected.
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
battery.
Z
The factory settings of the battery selector switch must not be changed.
Z
Never operate the transformer/rectifier when the battery selector switch
has not been set incorrectly.
