2.3.1
When the system chooses LP Gas Operation, the flame failure device is
automatically opened, allowing the gas to flow to the burner. At the same time,
the electronic igniter is energised.
2.3.2
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes
may contain some air which should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the
refrigerator or other appliances.
This will ensure that the flame lights
immediately.
2.3.3
If the flame goes out (by gust of wind etc.), the igniter is immediately activated
and reignites the gas.
2.4
Gas Trouble-Shooting
2.4.1
If the AES LED (C) is flashing red, the system may not be able to start or
continue gas operation.
Set the switch (A) to OFF, and check that there is
enough gas in the gas bottle, that its valve is open and that any valves in the gas
line to the refrigerator are open.
2.4.2
Then, push button (A) to "ON" again. After 10 seconds AES will repeat the
ignition sequence. When the AES LED (C) again starts flashing red after 30
seconds, the trouble persists (air in the line, no gas?). Switch (A) briefly off and
then on again. It might be necessary to repeat this operation 2 - 3 times if the
tubing contains air (after changing gas bottles, repairs etc). If this does not help,
you should consult a service technician.
2.5
230 Volt Operation
2.5.1
When a mains connection is available, AES will select this mode. Please note,
that even being in AC mode, 12v DC is necessary for the internal supply of the
electronics.
2.6
12 Volt Operation
2.6.1
AES will select the 12v mode of operation only when the vehicle engine is
running (detected by the alternator connector of the fridge D+).
2.7
Switching Between Energy Sources
2.7.1
When switching from one energy source to another, there are some delays
implemented in the AES system. The 15 minute delay between switching off the
engine and starting gas mode is intended to delay the starting of gas mode e.g.
when stopping at a filling station.
WARNING: It is not allowed to have a naked flame at a gas filling station. If
you are not sure, and your stop is shorter than 15 minutes, you are advised
to switch off the main switch (A), when stopping at a filling station.
