ELECTRICS

Whilst some generators use invertor tech-
nology, others use a more basic principle
to generate the 230v supply. Preference
should be to choose a generator which
produces a consistent sinusoidal wave
form with accurate voltage control.
The reverse polarity warning light may
illuminate when using a generator. This is a
normal side effect when using some types of
generator. Instead of connecting the neutral
and live conductors 110v above earth. This
110v difference causes the neon polarity
indicator to illuminate.
In most cases it is safe to use a generator, but
please consult the generator handbook for
further information.
Habitation relay
Habitation relays are fitted to caravans by
manufacturers to comply with the following
legislation:
1. The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use)
Regulations 1986 Regulation 60 - Radio
interference suppression
2. European Community Whole Vehicle Type
Approval (ECWVTA) framework directive
2007/46/EC and EU Regulation 661/2009
(General Safety) mandates UNECE
Regulation 10 (Vehicles with regard to
Electromagnetic compatibility).
A habitation relay must be fitted by
manufacturers, safe guarding the consumer.
The purpose of the relay is to disable non-
homologated appliances/components whilst
the vehicle is in transit.
Unintentional electromagnetic energy can be
created by non-homologated devices within
the habitation compartment, which could
cause a malfunction of the towing vehicles
electronic systems/components, including
safety critical items such as air bags, ABS
braking etc.
Exterior 230V Whale Mains Elec-
tric Out Socket (when fitted)
This easy access mains out socket includes
a UK 3 pin which allows you to hook up
electrical appliances with a 13-amp rating
such as power tools, lighting, TVs or games
consoles. The Easi-Slide lid is designed
to be closed completely when in use,
weatherproofing the unit against the elements.
Operation:
Open the sliding lid as shown in the image
below
When the caravan is stationary and connected
to a 220V/240v supply, raise the front cover
of the socket and insert the plug of the
equipment to be used. Close and latch the
cover into place to provide a weatherproof
seal.
