Residual current device
Thestandardversionofyourtrailerisequippedwitharesidualcur-
rent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interruptthe entire
230V electric circuit.
Afterputtingtheelectricsystemintooperation,thefunctionofthere-
sidualcurrentdevicemustbechecked.Aftervoltagehasbeenapplied

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camper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obtainingelectricityviaacabledrum,thismust
becompletelyunwound,asotherwiseinductionmay
causethecabletoheatup,whichcouldleadtoburning
(providedthereisnoprotectionagainstoverheating).
Protecting the 230V system
The230Vsystemisprotectedbyatwo-pole13Aautomatic
circuitbreaker
l
,whichislocatedintheclothescupboard(460
HL+470ULONTOURintheseatingarrangement).(Exceptions
tothisincludespecialinstallations,suchasultraheat,hot-water
heating,etc..Inthiscase,anadditionaltwo-pole16Acircuitbrea-
kerhasbeeninstalled.)Iftherearetwoautomaticcircuitbreakers,
bothmustbeswitchedon.
