The connection box will be located towards
the front of the motorhome roof and within this
connection box is a two way weatherproof
connector, to which a solar panel or panels
can be connected directly.
Within a high level furniture locker, relatively
close to the external connection box, two
connectors will be found. The first is the other
end of the link harness from the roof mounted
connection box, this should be connected
to the input connections of a solar panel
regulator, and the second connector should
be connected to the output from the regulator.
A Brown and Blue pair of wires will feature
in the link from the roof providing the input,
with a Red and Black pair of wires taking the
regulator output to the power supply unit.
SOLAR PANEL USE
All Swift Group products have the specific
provision for the connection and use of a solar
panel, even when the solar panel has not been
factory fitted. Each Sargents PSU (fusebox)
has a dedicated solar panel connection which
allow the 12V feed from a panel to be connect
to the leisure batteries.
It should be noted that this connection is only
designed for the use of a solar panel and has a
maximum rating of 100W.
ACCESSORY HARNESSING
Alarm Power Supply
A connection exists within the motorhome
harness, which can be used as a power
supply for an alarm or tracking system. For
security reasons, information regarding this is
not published; please contact your dealer for
further information.
Satellite Power Supply
Dependant on specification, in many
motorhomes a power supply harness is
included for use with roof mounted satellite
systems. This power supply is terminated in
a 4-way connector marked ‘SATELLITE’, and
carries 12v positive, 12v negative, and a signal
which can be used to detect when the vehicle
engine is running. (The engine run signal is
required by some systems to automatically
retract satellite dishes.
In addition, on Kon-Tiki and E700 models
which have a decoder / receiver position.
At this position an additional 230v socket is
present for use with a decoder / receiver, and
a 12v supply is present (2-way connector,
12v positive and 12v negative), which can be
used with an inverter (not supplied) to power a
decoder/receiver when a mains supply is not
available.
