9.1 Important notes on the electrical connection
• Only a qualified electrician should connect the generator to the electrical power.
• Check that the voltage specification on the type plate is the same as that of the
power supply.
• Do not lay the 230 Vw mains cable and the 12/24 Vg cable together in the
same cable duct.
• Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically conductive material
(metal).
• Connect the generator to a power circuit which can supply the necessary current
(chapter “Technical data” on page 21).
• Create a priority circuit which prioritises the 230 V external voltage over the volt-
age produced by the generator (chapter “Creating the priority circuit” on
page 20).
• Select the cross-section of the cable as follows:
– 230 V: 6 mm²
– Battery connection (length < 6 m): 16 mm²
– Battery connection (length > 6 m): 25 mm²
• Install a manual main switch which can disconnect all the consumers from the
generator with the exception of the battery.
9.2 Connecting the generator
A
➤ Connect the generator according to the circuit diagram (fig. e, page 8).
DANGER! Danger of electrocution
Make sure there is no voltage at electrically operated components
before carrying out work on them.
NOTE
Observe the applicable guidelines in the country of the consumer.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Connect a relay or a switch to the vehicle’s electrical system so that the
generator is not damaged when the power supply is switched on.
