Connecting Services Gas schematic drawing 18
Connecting Services GAS TYPES OF GAS GENERAL INFORMATION Butane Butane is supplied in the U.K. in green, blue or aluminium bottles. Gas Bottles Bottled Liquidified Petroleum Gas (L.P.G.) is the most convenient portable source of fuel for your motorhome. All these have a male left hand thread EXCEPT for Camping Gaz which has a special female right hand thread and Calor, 4.5kg, 7kg & 15kg, aluminium and 33lb/15kg bottles which have a special clip-on connection.
Connecting Services GAS SAFETY ADVICE Facts about LPG LPG is not poisonous. Bi-products are harmless. There is danger if all air and oxygen are excluded. (Ventilation holes must be kept clear at all times). LPG has been given a smell by the manufacturers in order to identify leaks. Awning Spaces LPG Appliance Exhaust There is no danger of pollution of an enclosed awning space by the LPG exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it.
Connecting Services ELECTRICITY As with electricity in the home, care must be exercised when handling mains electricity. Your attention is drawn to the following notice as laid down by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY On arrival at site 1. Before connecting the motorhome installation to the mains supply, check that: (a) the mains supply is suitable for your installation and appliances, i.e. whether it is a.c. or d.c.
Connecting Services For motorhomes that are generally left unused for long periods in the open it is strongly advised that the mains installation is inspected periodically to ensure that it is safe to use. The IEE Wiring Regulations recommend that mains installations in motorhomes are re-inspected every 3 years. An annual inspection by a qualified person is recommended (see list below) who should sign and issue a periodic inspection report.
Connecting Services WIRING OF CONNECTING CABLE AND MOTORHOME MAINS INLET MOTORHOME MAINS INLET CABLE COUPLER WARNING 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 QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. THE LEGAL MAXIMUM LENGTH OF THE MAINS INLET CABLE IS 25 METRES. WHEN IN USE IT MUST BE FULLY UNCOILED.
Connecting Services 230V MAINS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT POWER CONSUMPTION Please note: It is possible that the 230V mains electrical equipment may not all operate simultaneously. A typical UK motorhome site mains hook up point provides a maximum output of 10 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 site circuit breaker. Please check the available mains output with your site operator.
Motorhome Battery ................................................................ 26 Fault Finding ........................................................................... 26 Mains Unit (CEC 225) ............................................................. 27 12V Power System ................................................................. 28 Transformer/Charger Unit KT12SM ...................................... 28 KT9M5 Distribution Panels ....................................................
Electrical Systems MOTORHOME BATTERY It is recommended that a good quality leisure battery is always in circuit when the system is in use. A deep cycling heavy duty 12V battery should be used to provide power for lights and other electrical appliances. A proprietary brand leisure battery with 75A capacity is recommended. (It must have tube venting capability for internal battery boxes.
Electrical Systems MAINS UNIT (CEC 225) This acts as the main switch for the motorhome allowing isolation of all circuits. It forms part of the Power System along with the KT12SM Transformer/Charger Unit (if fitted). The mains unit replaces the conventional fusebox. Similar, but larger ones are often fitted in new houses. The unit gives both overload (MCBs) and earth leakage protection (RCD) for the electrical supply in your motorhome.
Electrical Systems 12V POWER SYSTEM Note: The connection of the battery charger to the mains supply is in accordance with the Regulations for Electrical Installations 16th Edition (IEE Wiring Regulations) BS 7671: 1992.
Electrical Systems KT9M5 DISTRIBUTION PANEL FUSES The 12V distribution panels have the following facilities: Each 12V circuit is protected by a blade fuse of the appropriate rating. These fuses can be found in the PMS4 unit or in the fuse-block in the wardrobe. The refrigerator fuse is mounted under the bonnet in all models. 1. Battery Condition Indicator 2. Battery Selector Switch If it is necessary to replace a fuse the current rating, which is marked on the fuse end cap, must be STRICTLY observed.
Electrical Systems GENERATOR GUIDELINES • Lack of regular servicing can be the cause of most generator problems, gensets under 2kW are mainly dependent on engine speed for output frequency and voltage. Poor or no servicing may cause the engine speed governor to run the genset engine too fast. Therefore, frequency and output voltage can rise above the specification of the machine data plate i.e. 230V at 50Hz. This may cause damage to electrical/electronic equipment (such as battery chargers).
