Electrical Systems
- Enabling of key beeper.
- Programming automatic space heating (this
can be done directly with the ( ) key).
- Programming automatic water heating (this

CONTROL PANEL BATTERY:
On the back of the NE183 control panel
there is a buffer battery (LITHIUM 3V
CR2032) to maintain the time and various
programming functions if 12V energy supply
for the PCB fails.

GENERATOR GUIDELINES
Your motorhome can be used with a
generator provided these guidelines are
met:
• Lack of regular servicing can be the
cause of most generator problems,
gensets under 2kW are mainly dependent
on engine speed for output frequency
and voltage. Poor or no servicing may
cause the engine speed governor to run
the genset to fast. Therefore, frequency
and output voltage can rise above the
specification of the machine data plate
i.e. 230V at 50Hz. This may cause
damage to electrical/electronic
equipment (such as battery chargers).
• A generator should always run for a few
minutes prior to connection with the
motorhome electrics, to allow it to warm
up and the output to settle to a steady
level.
• The AC output of generators is often
derived from an AC alternator, rectified
to DC then inverted back to AC. In
essence this means the output sinewave
may not run sophisticated electronics
efficiently. Some of the new wave of
gensets are more sophisticated in their
production of a sinewave output and are
more suited to run electronic equipment.
• If in doubt consult your genset dealer or
manufacturer for advice.
