AES
The refrigerator is equipped with an Automatic Energy Selector (AES) controlling the operation and energy supply.
NOTE! 12V must always be available to supply the electronics.
The system selects the available energy source in the order:
1.
2.12V
3.LP gas
Turn off the AES function if you want the refrigerator to run on LP gas only.
STARTING THE REFRIGERATOR
Whilst mobile:
• Do not operate the refrigerator on LP gas.
•Turn off the gas bottle.
1.Press the ON/OFF button (1). The refrigerator starts in the mode it was in when it was turned off.
2.Press the AES/GAS button (2) and LED (A) or (B) comes on. Select AES or LP gas only by pressing the AES/GAS button (2) once if necessary.
3.If a
AES selects this as the energy source and LEDs (A) and (C) come on.
When the vehicle’s engine is running, AES selects 12V operation and LEDs (A) and (D) are illuminated unless LP gas only operation has been selected manually.
If neither mains nor a 12V battery supply are available: AES selects LP gas operation and LEDS (A) and (B)
come on.
LP
LP GAS OPERATION
AES will select LP gas operation under the following conditions:
No AC
Engine not running (no high current at 12V DC available)
When the system chooses LP gas operation, the flame failure device is automatically opened, allowing the gas to flow to the burner. At the same time, the electronic igniter is energized.
After initial installation, servicing, or changing gas cylinders etc., the gas pipes may contain some air that should be allowed to escape by briefly turning on the refrigerator or other appli- ances. This will ensure that the flame lights immediately.
If the flame goes out (by gust of wind etc.), the reigniter will automatically relight the flame.
NOTE! The control electronics and the igniter must have 12V DC (battery) supply to operate.
GAS TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Warning indicator lamp (F) is lit, there has been a failure of gas operation. To troubleshoot, follow these steps:
1.Turn off the refrigerator. (Press the ON/OFF (1) to “OFF”.)
2.Check that there is enough gas in the gas bottle, that its valve is open and that any valves in the gas line to the refrigerator are open.
3.Turn on the refrigerator again. (Press the ON/OFF button (1) to “ON” .) After 10 sec. AES will repeat the ignition
sequence.
4.Should the warning lamp come on again after approx. 6 minutes, the failure is still present. Repeat the procedure once more. If this does not help, contact an authorised service provider in your area.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:
Yellow tipping of the burner flame.
Sooting up area surrounding burner.
Burner not igniting properly.
Burner failing to remain alight.
In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact an au- thorised Dometic Service Centre.
230-240V OPERATION
When a mains connection is available, AES will select this. Please note, that even being in AC mode, 12V DC is necessary for the internal supply of the electronics.
12V OPERATION
AES will select the 12V mode of operation as soon as the vehicle engine is running (detected by the alternator connection of the fridge D+).
If the 12V DC goes down below 9V DC, the system will shut down completely.
