9.4.4 12 V indicator lamp
The 12 V indicator lamp (Fig. 73,7) illuminates whenever the 12 V main switch
(Fig. 73,8) is switched on.
9.4.5 230 V indicator lamp
The yellow 230 V indicator lamp (Fig. 73,2) lights up whenever line voltage is
available at the transformer/rectifier input.
9.5 230 V power supply
The 230 V power supply provides electricity for:
z
Sockets with earth contact for appliances with maximum 16 A
z
Refrigerator
z
transformer/rectifier
The electrical appliances connected to the 12 V power supply of the living area
are supplied with voltage by the living area battery.
Connect the vehicle to an external 230 V power supply system as often as
possible. The charger module in the transformer/rectifier automatically
charges the living area battery. In addition to this, the starter battery is charged
with a float charge of 2 A.
9.5.1 230 V connection
The vehicle can be connected to an external 230 V power supply. The cable
may have a length of maximum 25 m.
Depending on the model, the flap for the 230 V connection is identified with the
symbol " ".
Z
When leaving the vehicle switch off the 12 V main switch. This prevents
unnecessary discharging of the living area battery.
Z
Appliances such as the safety/drainage valve, charger, solar charge regu-
lator and panel consume approx. 20 mA to 65 mA of electricity from the
battery capacity, even when the 12 V main switch is turned off. Therefore
disconnect the living area battery from the 12 V power supply, if the vehicle
will not be used for a long period of time.
X
Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
X
The external 230 V power supply must be protected by fuse with a fault
current protection switch (FI-switches, 30 mA).
X
Completely unwind the cable on cable drums to prevent overheating.
Z
For the connection points on camp sites (camping distributors) highly sen-
sitive fault current protection switches (FI-switches, 30 mA) are obligatory.
