Electrical Connection - Electrolux CARAVAN AES II RM 6505 User Manual

CAUTION! CHECK THAT THE GAS SUPPLIED
TO THE REFRIGERATOR IS AT THE CORRECT
PRESSURE. SEE THE REDUCING VALVE ON
THE LP GAS CONTAINER.
The gas installation should only be carried out by a
person experienced in gas fitting. It is recommended that
the gas pipe feeding the refrigerator is so arranged that
it is possible to turn off the supply of the refrigerator.
It must be of a type approved for use with continuously
operating bottled gas appliances, and have threaded
compression connections throughout. PUSH-ON CON-
NECTIONS MUST NOT BE USED (We do not recom-
mend the use of "rubber" type flexible tubing for
connecting permanently operating appliances of this
type in the United Kingdom). All connectors etc. should
be of a type specifically designed for the type and
diameter of the connection pipe used, and screwed
joints should be sealed with a joining compound approved
for use with bottled gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
pipe (outside diameter 8 mm.) by means of a suitable
gas-tight compression fitting, e.g. olive.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas
cock of an approved type bottled gas must be incorpo-
rated in the supply line in a position that is readily
accessible to the user. For eventual servicing purposes,
the union should be on the outlet side of the cock and
the pipework should be positioned so as not to prevent
the refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.
On completion of installation, the system must be
pressure tested by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant
regulations and codes of practice. For mains voltage
operation, it is important that the circuit to and in the
motorhome is effectively earthed.
For connection to a 230-240 V electricity supply, the
refrigerator has a 3-core mains lead which is intended
for connection to a properly earthed plug and socket
outlet. The socket outlet should be fitted in the motorhome
in a position readily accessible to the user, within reach
of the mains lead. In the United Kingdom, the plug and
socket outlet should be of the non-reversible type.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
-
the wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter E or by the earth symbol
coloured Green or Green and Yellow,
-
the wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured Black,
18
-
the wire which is coloured Brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured Red.
WARNING- THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
-
green/yellow:
-
blue:
-
brown:
In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refriger-
ator must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps.
If a 13 amp. (B.S. 1363) fused plug is used, it should be
fitted with a 3 amp. fuse, ASTA approved to B.S. 1362.
In other countries, the fuse rating will depend upon the
voltage and local practice.
230-240 V Supplies.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the
same as the main voltage in use (230-240 V).
Plug the 230-240 V refrigerator power cord into an easily
accessible wall socket.
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so
that they cannot come into contact with hot or
sharp parts of the refrigerator.
12 V and "D+" Connection
The 12 V connection of the refrigerator is shown in
fig. 4. The (+12 V) and (-) pole have to be connected
directly to the "house battery". Do not use the chassis
for the return lead.
12 V supply must not be connected to a voltage control-
ler or similar device as the AES itself monitors the DC
voltage.
+12 V should be permanent attached, and must not be
cut out when the ignition key is turned off.
All connections should be screwed or soldered to keep
voltage drop to a minimum. The positive conductor must
be protected by a 20 A fuse.
The connection D+ (alternator) has to be connected
to the corresponding outlet of the vehicles electrical
system.
