Connecting the refrigerator to AC power (accessory)
You can connect the refrigerator to AC power if you use a rectifier
(
accessory
):
z
110 V: EPS-35US
z
220 – 240 V: EPS-35
Caution – Danger of electrocution
Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
Caution
If you are operating your refrigerator on board a boat with a mains
connection of 230-V from the land, you must install a residual cur-
rent circuit breaker between the 230V mains supply and the refrig-
erator.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
Note
Always connect the refrigerator to the rectifier. Otherwise the prior-
ity circuit for the refrigerator will be disabled.
The priority circuit reduces the load on a connected battery by the
rectifier always switching to mains operation if AC power is con-
nected.
Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to the AC supply:
➤
Fix the rectifier as shown in the location foreseen, behind the refrigerator
(fig.
f
, page 10).
➤
Protect the AC circuit using a slow-blow fuse (250 V/3 A).
➤
Connect the power cable to the AC power supply.
➤
Plug in the connecting cable to the AC socket (fig.
f
1,page 10).
Proceed as follows when you connect the refrigerator to a DC supply when
a rectifier is fitted:
➤
Connect the loose DC cable (fig.
f
2, page 10) to the battery:
– Red cable: positive battery terminal
– Black cable: negative battery terminal
