USER GUIDE
ELECTRIC SYSTEM KOSMO
8.1 Introduction
The electric system includes a power supply/battery
charger, a 12 V distribution control unit fitted with
fuses, and a control panel.
The battery charger automatically operates when
the vehicle is connected to a 230 V power source,
recharging both the auxiliary battery and the engine
battery (with holding power only for the latter).
The 12 V distribution control unit includes the appli-
ances controls and the tank and batteries level
controls. Each appliance control is protected by a
fuse.
8.2 Batteries
8.2.1 Engine battery
The engine battery is located under the cab floor, on
the left side.
8.2.2 Auxiliary battery
The auxiliary battery, with protection fuse, is installed
under the right cabin seat.
The power supply and the 12 V distribution control
unit are located under the left cabin seat.
NOTE
When turning on the engine the vehicle’s alter-
nator automatically recharges also the auxiliary
battery.
NOTE
When turning on the engine the vehicle’s alter-
nator automatically recharges also the auxiliary
battery. Recharge can also be achieved, always
automatically, through the connection to the
230 V network: the use of this source is recom-
mended whenever possible.
NOTE
• It is advisable to routinely check that the circuit
breaker is working properly.
• For the installation of optional equipment,
contact a Laika authorised workshop. Never
modify the original electric system of the
chassis used for the caravan.
• Inside outlet sockets may only be used with
suitable appliances.
THINGS TO DO
• Do not insert any metal object or wire in the air
vent slots of the power supply.
• No appliance should be used outside when
connected to the internal socket.
THINGS TO AVOID
The power supply and the control unit must not
be exposed to rain, sources of heat or brought
in contact with any conductive or inflammable
fluid. Such use may cause short-circuits, fires, or
irreversible harm to people, animals or objects.
WARNING
For maintenance of the engine battery, please
refer to the manual provided by the chassis
manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not leave the appliances turned on for a long
period of time without recharging the battery:
should the voltage reaches 10 V all the appliances
will be automatically disconnected. That occurs in
order to avoid damages to the battery.
WARNING
If installing a second auxiliary battery, the
batteries cables must be positioned in such a
way that no hazards arise. The installation must
be performed by specialized personnel. Always
contact an authorised Laika workshop.
