by switching to the ON position. (Against the spring
pressure in an upwards direction).
If an earth fault develops or a person was to touch a
live piece of equipment the leakage of current to earth
should immediately operate the RCD (residual current
device) and ‘trip’ the main switch, to the OFF position.
This switch is only re-settable after elimination of the
fault.
To re-set, operate the switch as for M.C.B’s.
Every time you connect to a site supply the RCD should
be checked by operating the test button marked ‘T’. The
unit should immediately switch to the OFF position. If
the unit does not switch off then a qualied electrician
should be consulted.
If the unit does switch off, the test is complete and the
switch can be reset restoring the supply back to normal.
Having too many appliances switched on
at the same time will trip the MCB. This is a
safety measure.
It is essential that connections are made
exactly as shown. If terminal markings are
not in accordance with the diagram they must
be ignored. If in doubt consult a qualied
electrician.
Always disconnect the electrical connector
between the towing vehicle and the caravan
before connecting a 230v supply to the
caravan and before charging the caravan
battery by any other means.
It is possible that all of the 230v mains electrical
equipment may not be able to be operated simultaneously.
A typical UK caravan park mains hook up point provides
a maximum output of 16 amps and on some continental
sites the available output may be as low as 5 amps. If
your loading exceeds the site supply it may trip the
parks circuit breaker. Please check the available mains
output with your site operator.
The following items need to be added together if used
simultaneously.
230V Mains equipment typical consumption gures:
Fridge .................................................................. 0.5 amps
Colour TV ............................................................2.5 amps
Charger .................................................................1.0 amps
Microwave ..........................................................10 amps
Air conditioning................................................. 4 amps
Blown/convection air heating ..........................8.7 amps
17. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 12 VOLT.
Your caravan is tted with a 12 volt charger as standard.
This converts the 230 volt AC supply into 12 volt DC.
This enables the 12 volt equipment in the caravan to
function and charges the caravan leisure battery. A fully
charged caravan leisure battery should read 13.8 volts
on the voltmeter mounted in the control panel.
The charger is capable of charging leisure batteries and
will not overcharge.
The 12 volt system is designed to operate with a leisure
battery in circuit and should not be turned on without
one connected. The 12 volt supply to the caravan
services can be isolated via the 12 volt on/off switch on
the control panel.
Auxiliary Battery storage/mains inlet
The battery and 230V mains inlet are located in a
special locker mounted in the side of the caravan. The
door frame has a cable recess allowing the door to be
locked when the mains cable is connected.
This locker will accommodate a battery up to 110
amperes/hours capacity.
The battery must be placed in the tray provided
in the battery storage compartment, and must
be used at all times.
