Description and appropriate use
The power supply unit CSV 300 is designed for permanent installation in car-
avans. The power supply unit powers 12 V devices such as fans, submersible
pumps and lamps, while the caravan is connected to the 230 V mains.
If there is no 230 V mains power supply, the connected devices can be pow-
ered by the 12 V supply of the towing vehicle.
The system automatically switches to mains operation if there is a 230 V
mains power supply.
The power supply unit consists of:
●
The power supply module
●
The 12 V distribution
●
Fuses for the 12 V circuits
The power supply unit is a primary controlled switch-mode power supply. This
modern switching technology achieves high output current at a compact size
and low weight.
▲
Never bridge or repair fuses.
▲
Danger of burning! Blown fuses must only be changed on a zero-cur-
rent power supply unit.
▲
Only use original fuses rated as specified in the instruction manual.
▲
Danger of burning! During operation the power supply unit gets hot.
Do not touch.
▲
There must be no cables laid underneath the power supply unit due to
the development of heat.
▲
To avoid voltage peaks during warm-up, do not connect the generator until
it is running in a stable manner. Otherwise, the power supply unit, the 12 V
consumers or other connected equipment might get damaged. It is essen-
tial that the generator complies with the mains supply specifications.
▲
The mains supply on board car ferries might not always be perfect. There-
fore, never connect the power supply unit to the mains on car ferries. Oth-
erwise, the power supply unit, the 12 V consumers or other connected
equipment might get damaged.
▲
During operation the power supply unit gets hot. If the power supply unit is
installed in the wardrobe, do not hang up any temperature sensitive
clothes near it.
