Choosing the available energy source highest on the list.
240 V operation If the 240 V power supply is connected, this energy source is selected as the
first priority by the AES.
12 V operation 12 V operation is only selected by the AES if the vehicle's engine is running
and the alternator supplies sufficient 12 V operating power.
Gas operation
If the 240 V power supply is not connected and the vehicle's engine is not run-
ning the AES selects the gas supply. When selecting gas operation the igni-
tion fuse is opened automatically so gas can get into the burner. At the same
time the electronic ignition is activated. If the gas flame is extinguished, e.g. by
blast of wind, the ignition is activated immediately and re-ignites the gas.
When the gas operation is faulty, the "GAS" indicator lamp (Fig. 192,4) flashes
red.
Change-over between
energy sources
Even when the 12 V power supply is switched off, a small electrical power
flows which puts an extra load on the living area battery. Always switch off
the refrigerator for a temporary lay-up.
