GETTING STARTED
You have arrived at your destination and now
want to start to enjoy your new Elddis
motorhome. The following is a step by step
guide to connecting your services and getting
everything in your motorhome working.
ELECTRICITY
Power Supply Charger
Your motorhome is fitted with a power supply/
charger. This will charge the leisure battery
“where supplied” when fitted and also power
the 12V systems in addition to your leisure
battery.
A leisure battery must be fitted to the
motorhome at all times.
The Charger is fully automatic and will not
overcharge the leisure battery.
12v Systems:
When connected to the 230V site supply the
automatic Power Supply/Charger will charge
the leisure battery and power the 12V
systems.
When the ignition is switched on the 12V
system in the motorhome is automatically
switched off, vehicle power is supplied to the
refrigerator.
GENERATOR/CHARGER
When connecting to a generator, always
switch off the RCD, start the generator and
allow running for a few minutes to stabilise.
When this has happened, switch the RCD to
the ON position.
ELECTRICITY MAINS SUPPLY
Your motorhome’s main electrical installation
is designed to run on 230V at 50 hertz AC
supply.
CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY ON
ARRIVAL AT SITE
Before connecting the motorhome installation
to the mains supply, check that:
(i)
The mains supply is suitable for your
installation and appliances, i.e. whether
it is AC or DC and whether it is at the
correct voltage and frequency.
(ii)
Your motorhome is properly earthed.
Never accept a supply from a socket
outlet or plug having only two pins, or
from a lighting outlet.
(iii) Any residual current device (earth
leakage circuit breaker) in the mains
supply to the motorhome has been
tested within the last month. In case of
doubt, consult the site owner or their
agent.
(iv) Make sure that the switch at the site
supply point is off and that all electrical
equipment in the motorhome is switched
off by ensuring your motorhome mains
isolating switch on the MCB is in the
‘OFF’ position.
Once the above checks have been made:
(v)
Remove any cover to the electricity inlet
provided on the motorhome and insert
the female connector of the flexible
orange supply cable as shown.
(vi) Locate the site
supply and remove any
cover from the socket
outlet provided at the
supply point. Insert the
male plug at the other
end of the flexible orange
supply cable. Switch on
the main switch at the site
supply point (if
appropriate).
(vii) Place any surplus
cable under the
motorhome. Ensure that
the surplus cable is not
coiled up as it could
overheat.
(viii) The MCB main electricity supply switch
should be put in the ‘ON’ position.
(ix) Check the RCD is working by pressing
the test button. Once pressed all
electrical lights and appliances should
cease to operate. Reset and then check
the electrical system is operational.
