Functions The transformer/rectifier has the following functions:
z
The transformer/rectifier charges the living area battery. The transformer/
rectifier charges the starter battery with a float charge only.
z
The transformer/rectifier monitors the voltage in the living area battery.
z
The transformer/rectifier distributes the current to the 12 V circuits and
secures them. Devices with a maximum of 10 A can be connected to the
sockets.
z
The transformer/rectifier contains connections for a solar charge regulator,
an auxiliary charging unit as well as other control and monitoring functions.
z
When the 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.
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 charging device
against overheating. The transformer/rectifier is subject to a heavy load when
e.g. an empty living area battery is charged, additional electrical appliances
are turned on and the ambient temperatures are high.
Location Depending on the model, the transformer/rectifier is located in the seat con-
sole under the driver's seat or the front passenger's seat.
9.3.1 Battery cut-off switch
The battery cut-off switch switches off all the living area 12 V appliances,
including even the safety/drainage valve. 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 even when the
battery cut-off switch is switched off.
Switching on/off:
„
Press top of battery cut-off switch: Battery on.
„
Press bottom of battery cut-off switch: Battery off.
Z
When the battery cut-off switch is OFF, the safety/drainage valve opens.
The water flows out of the boiler. When the battery cut-off switch has been
switched on again, close the safety/drainage valve of the boiler by hand.
Z
After the battery cut-off switch has been switched on again: Switch the
basic light (lighting in the entrance area), entrance step, heater and
Reserve 4 back on (depending on the model) by switching the 12 V main
switch on briefly. This also applies if the living room battery was discon-
nected and then reconnected.
