12 V TO 230 V INVERTER
Certain models have an inverter (factory-fitted option for
others).
An inverter converts the battery’s 12 V to 230 V alternating
current. Thus, 230 V is available from the motorhome’s
power outlets even when the motorhome is not connected
to the mains.
The inverter is powered by the living area’s battery.
Using 230 V from the inverter loads the battery. Battery
charge drops rapidly when using 230 V from the inverter.
When the motorhome is connected to the mains, the inver-
ter uses the available 230 V. The battery is not loaded. All
the motorhome’s power outlets are then connected to the
mains.
The inverter is started and stopped from the motorhome’s
control panel.
To save battery charge, switch off the inverter when it is
not in use (even if 230 V is not being used).
The inverter’s maximum power output is 1,800 W. The
greater the power use, the quicker the drop in battery
charge.
If the battery charge drops too low, the inverter switches
off automatically. The battery then needs charging.
If the inverter gets too hot, it switches off automatically.
Ensure that the inverter’s ventilation is not obstructed.
If too great a load is presented to the inverter, a circuit
breaker on the inverter trips. Power outlets will then be
dead, even if the motorhome is connected to the mains.
Reset the breaker by pressing the Breaker button on the
inverter.
Bear in mind that some appliances require a lot of power
when starting.
A residual current device is mounted next to the inverter’s
230 V outlet. This means that the motorhome has two
residual current devices when connected to the mains.
The motorhome’s refrigerator and boiler are not connec-
ted to the inverter. The refrigerator and boiler can only be
powered from the 230 V supply when the motorhome is
connected to the mains.
