8.6.2 Connecting the 230 V power supply
The external 230 V power supply must be protected by fuse with a
fault current protection switch (FI-switch, 30 mA).
To prevent overheating, the cable must be fully uncoiled from the ca-
ble reel.
In case of doubt or if the 230 V supply is not available or is faulty, con-
tact the operator of the power supply device.
The 230 V connection in the vehicle is equipped with a fault current pro-
tection switch (FI-switch).
For the connection points on camp sites (camping distributors) fault cur-
rent protection switches (FI-switches, 30 mA) are obligatory.
The vehicle can be connected to an external 230 V power supply. As a prin-
ciple, only use the 230 V connection on the vehicle (CEE socket outlet) for
connecting.

Check whether the power supply device is suitable regarding connec-
tion, voltage, frequency and current.
Check whether the cables and connections are suitable.
Check the plug connectors and cables for visible damage.
Switch off the safety cut-out (Fig. 51,1) in the fuse box (Fig. 51,2).
Open the cover of the 230 V connection on the vehicle (Fig. 52) and in-
sert the plug connector. Ensure that the detent of the spring-mounted
pivoting cover is engaged in position.
Plug the connector of the connecting cable into the socket of the camp-
ing distributor. Ensure that the detent of the spring-mounted flap is also
engaged here.
Switch on the safety cut-out in the fuse box.
When the vehicle is connected to the 230 V supply, press the test button
(Fig. 51,4) of the fault current protection switch (FI-switch) (Fig. 51,3) in
the fuse box (Fig. 51,2). The fault current protection switch must trip.
Switch the fault current protection switch (Fig. 51,3) back on again.
