Change-over between
energy sources
When changing over between the different power sources there are forced
delays built in the AES. This means, that after a change-over to a new energy
source the refrigerator can not be operated immediately. When changing over
from 12 V operation to gas operation, a 15-minute delay is built in the AES.
This prevents a change-over to gas operation when the vehicle is stopped
briefly and the engine is switched off (e.g. stop to fill tank).
Refrigerating temperature
control
When turned on the first time the refrigerator automatically selects the middle
thermostat position. This position can be adjusted manually by using the con-
trol knob (Fig. 157,4). The indicator lamps (Fig. 157,3) show the selected ther-
mostat position. The refrigerating temperature for the three types of energy is
set with the control knob. It takes a few hours till the refrigerator reaches its
normal operating temperature. When changing over the operating mode the
thermostat setting will be maintained. The refrigerating temperature is retained
regardless of the type of power being used.
Manual operation
Switching on:
Open the regulator tap on the gas bottle and the gas isolator tap "Refriger-
ator".
Select the energy type with the energy selector switch (Fig. 157,1). The
respective indicator lamp (Fig. 157,2) lights up green.
Adjust refrigerating temperature with the control knob (Fig. 157,4). The
indicator lamps (Fig. 157,3) show the selected thermostat position.
When the gas operation is faulty, the "GAS" indicator lamp (Fig. 157,2) flashes
red.
Switching off:
Turn energy selector switch (Fig. 157,1) to " ". No indicator lamp
(Fig. 157,2) is lit.
Close the gas isolator tap "Refrigerator" and the regulator tap on the gas
bottle.
10.6.5 Operation (Thetford without SES)
Operating modes The refrigerator has 2 operating modes:
Gas operation
Electrical operation (240 V AC or 12 V DC)
The operating mode is set with the operating controls on the refrigerator panel.
Infinitely variable regulation of the cooling power is only possible with gas
operation and when the refrigerator is operated with 240 V. It is not possible
with 12 V operation.
Open flames are prohibited at petrol stations. If the stop takes longer
than 15 minutes, the refrigerator has to be turned off at the energy
selector switch.
Further information can be obtained from the separate instruction manual
"Refrigerator".
