ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
convenient. In the event of a fault the MCB
‘trips’ i.e. automatically moves to the OFF
position. After elimination of the fault the
MCB can be re-set by switching to the ON
position (against the spring pressure in an
upwards direction). If an earth fault develops,
or a person was to touch a live piece of
equipment, the leakage of current to earth
should immediately operate the RCD
(residual current device) and ‘trip’ the main
switch, to the OFF position. This switch can
only be re-set after elimination of the fault.
Please note: In case of difficulty, consult an
approved electrical installation contractor
(who may be the local electricity board). It is
dangerous to attempt modifications and
additions yourself.
CAUTION: Lamp holder-plugs (bayonet- cap
adaptors) should not be used under any
circumstances.
Resetting the RCD
To re-set, operate the switch as for MCB’s.
Periodically, the RCD should be checked by
operating the test button marked ‘T’. The unit
should immediately switch to the OFF
position. If the unit does not switch off then a
qualified electrician should be consulted. If
the unit does switch off, the test is complete
and the switch can be re-set restoring the
supply back to normal.
Please note: Simultaneous operation of all
of the 230V mains electrical equipment may
not be possible. A typical UK site mains hook-
up point provides a maximum output of 16
amps and on some continental sites the
available output may be as low as 5 amps. If
your loading exceeds the site supply it may
trip the site circuit breaker. Please check the
available mains output with your site
operator. The following items need to be
added together if used simultaneously.
230V mains equipment typical consumption
figures:
• Refrigerator ............................... 0.50 amps
• Charger ..................................... 0.50 amps
• Water heater ............................... 3.9 amps
• Blown air heaters ........................ 8.5 amps
• Colour TV .................................. 3.33 amps
AUTOMATIC CHARGING SYSTEM
The battery charger will operate automatically
when the campervan is connected to the
mains outlet on a campervan site.
Note: The charging unit only charges the
leisure battery not the vehicle battery.
When the campervan engine is running the
12V system will not operate with the
exception of the 12V refrigerator.
Note: When the vehicle is in transit the
engines alternator will charge both the
vehicle and leisure batteries.
CHECK all campervan equipment is set-up to
accept the site supply before actually
switching on.
