9.4 Power pack

The power pack is usually installed in the wardrobe.

If the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply, the requisite power

supply is provided by the battery of the towing vehicle, as long as contact 9 "Con-

stant positive" is connected to the towing vehicle socket (see connection diagram

at the end of this chapter). The 12 V living area lamps, the cassette toilet and the

water pump can be used.

If the vehicle is connected to the 240 V power supply, the power pack switches the

power supply in the living area automatically from the towing vehicle battery to

mains operation. For Dometic type I the power pack must also be turned on.

Switched-mode power

supply

The power pack (Fig. 84,3) is mounted next to the 240 V automatic circuit breaker

(Fig. 84,2).

A main switch (Fig. 84,5) and a residual current circuit-breaker (Fig. 84,4) are inte-

grated in the power pack. The automatic circuit breaker contains several fuses

(Fig. 84,1).

The residual current circuit-breaker (Fig. 84,4) measures the current flow of the cur-

rent deed and return lines. If the two lines are equivalent, the residual-current cir-

cuit-breaker does not become active. If there is a difference between the lines the

breaker interrupts the current flow immediately. This prevents dangerous electrical

accidents.

Switching on:

 Switch the main switch (Fig. 84,5) downwards to the "ON" position.

Z When the ignition is switched off and there is no connection to the 240 V power

supply, the battery of the towing vehicle is discharged by consumers such as

the refrigerator or the living are lamps (exception: Power Pack SE). The starting

capability of the towing vehicle can be impaired.

Z The towing vehicle battery is not charged by the power pack.
