6.9Electrical installation

Electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel. The connection cables must be laid in such a way that they do not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges. The electrical installation must comply with national regulations

(EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1, EN 1648-2 for Europe).

It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or automatic circuit breaker. The power cable must be laid in such a way that it does not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges.

Changes at the internal electrical installation or the connection of other electrical components (e.g. additional fan) to the internal wiring of the appliance will expire the e1/ CE admittance as well as any claims from guarantee and product liability!

6.9.1Power line connection

The power must be supplied via a properly earthed socket outlet or hard- wired connection.

Where a socket outlet is used for the mains connection lead, the outlet must be freely accessible.

It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or automatic circuit breaker.

The power cable must be laid in such a way that it does not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges.

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced by the Customer Service at Dometic, or by respectively qualified personnel, in order to prevent any hazards.

6.9.2Battery connection

The machine's mains 12V connection cable is connected (observing correct polarity) to a terminal strip. The cabling must be direct and by the shortest possible route to the battery and alternator respectively (motorcaravan).

	Cross-sectional area of cable	Length of cable
Motorcaravan	6 mm²	< 6 m
Caravan (inside)	10 mm²	> 6 m
Caravan (outside)	min 2,5 mm²	(EN1648-1)

2,5mm²

The 12V circuit must be protected with a 16A fuse.

The heating element circuit must be connected to the vehicle battery by a suitable ignition operated relay in order that the 12V supply is only live while the vehicle ignition is switched on.

The connection C/D (interior light, electronics ; cable black / violet) must be permanently attached, and must not be cut-out when the vehicle ignition key is turned off. This can be realised with an on-board habitation battery .

For 12V operation any habitation isolation relay must be by-passed.
