INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

12 V DC connection

RM2451-2551-2652-2852: These refrigerator models are not designed for 12 V DC operation of the cooling system. How- ever, 12 V DC must be supplied to operate the controls.

RM2354-2454-2554-2662-2663-2862-3862 & NDR1062: These refrigerator models require a continuous 12 V DC sup- ply to maintain the automatic energy system.

The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the terminal block on back of the refrigerator, see APPENDIX A - REARVIEW EQUIPMENT . Correct polarity must be observed when connecting to the DC supply. Do not use the chassis or vehicle frame as one of the conductors. Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route to the DC supply. Ensure the connections are clean, tight and free from corrosion.

The distance the current must travel from the battery to the refrigerator dictates the AWG wire size to be used. Should the wire be too small for the distance, a voltage drop will result causing a decreased cooling capacity.

For 3-way models, the voltage drop affects the wattage output of the 12V cartridge heater and the refrigerator performance. The 12V DC heater is fused with a 30 amp. in-line blade fuse.

Recommended wire sizes are displayed in the following table:

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

The refrigerator is equipped with hinges that makes it possible to change the direction the door opens by moving the hinges to the opposite side. A special hinge kit must be used in order to change the door swing. For conversion kit number, refer to the

USER MANUAL (825125700), APPENDIX B - SPARE PARTS

MOUNTING THE DOOR PANEL(S)

Optional door insert panels are available for

RM2351-2354-2451-2454-2551-2554-2652-2662- 2663-2852-2862 & NDR1062. The refrigerator is

normally delivered without door panel(s).

Before starting the mounting work, read this instruction thor- oughly and check that the panel dimensions are in compliance with those given in the “Panel dimensions” table
