7. Installation of electrical devices
Residual current device
Thestandardversionofyourcaravanisequippedwitha residual
current device that will interrupt the electric circuit in case of a
possibleresidualcurrent.Shouldtherebeapowerfailure,thefault
currentcircuitbreaker('fastinterrupt'=FIswitch)willtriptheentire
230V electric circuit.
Afterconnectinguptoanelectricalsupplyandswitchingthepower
oninthecaravan,thefunctionoftheresidualcurrentdevicemustbe
checked.Aftervoltagehasbeenappliedtotheswitch

itmustbeswitchedbackuptothe "On"position.
Repairsmustnotbecarriedoutontheresidualcurrent
device.
Aresidualcurrentdevicedoesnotguaranteeanypro-
tection against the danger from an electric shock. It
doesnotprotectagainstpossibleelectricalaccidents.

Rules for the mains connection
• Useonlya3x2.5mm²cablewithamaximumlengthof25m,
aCEEconnectorplugandconnectortoconnectthecaravanto
anexternal230Vmains.
• The230Vmainsconnectioninthecaravanhasbeendesigned
foratotalpowerconsumptionof2300W.Ifadditionaldevices
requiringelectricityareconnected,suchasawaterheater,etc.,
youmustensurethatthiselectricpowervalueisnotexceeded,
takingotherelectricalequipmentinuse,suchastherefrigera-
tor,therme,etc.,intoaccount.
Whenyouareusingacabledrum,thismustbecom-
pletelyunwound,whenthecaravanisinuse(drawing
mainspower),asotherwiseinductionmaycausethe
cabletoheatup,whichcouldleadtoare(provided
thereisnoprotectionagainstoverheating).
Protecting the 230V system
The230Vsystemisprotectedbyatwo-pin13Aautomaticcircuit
breaker
l
, which is located in the wardrobe (460 DL + 470 UL
ONTOUR in the seating area).(Exceptions to this include special
installations, such as ultraheat, hot-water heating, etc.. In this case,
anadditionaltwo-pin16Acircuitbreakerhasbeeninstalled.)Ifthere
aretwoautomaticcircuitbreakers,bothmustbeswitchedon.
