MAINS
ELECTRIC
240V WIRING
The
X-3 does not control the mains facilities within your van
- it
uses mains 240 volts
during
its
operation:-
WARNING
Mains
electricity
can
be
dangerous particularly
in
mobile installations such
as
caravans and yachts.
If
you
do
not
have the necessary knowledge you should
not
attempt the following installation you should entrust
it
to
a
qualified electrician. The
installation must
be in
accordance with
the
relevant
IEE
wiring regulations.
A
residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
or
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker
(ELCB)
must
be
fitted. This
is an
inexpensive
way
of
protecting against electric
shocks.
The
device fitted must
be of
current operated type
of
the
following
specification:
25
amp
30
milliamp operating
in
approximately
30
milliseconds.
When
all the
necessary
12
volt connections have been made the mains wiring
can
be completed. The mains input
plug
and socket must
be
polarised (connection can
only
be
made one way round). Should
you
find yourself
in a
situation where
the
polarity
is
reversed, possibly
on
the
continent
the
operation
of
the Zig
unit will
continue
as
normal however steps must
be
taken
to
rectify the situation
as
soon
as
possible
as
other electrical devices may
be
a
source
of
shock.
We
recommend
you
carry
a
polarity tester when travelling abroad.
The
plugs and sockets are widely available from caravan dealers and chandlers and
must
be to
BS4343. Different types
may
be
required abroad
if in
doubt your site
operator will
be
able
to
help.
The
socket chosen may
be
flush
or
surface mounted, and should
be
situated
as
near
to
the
RCCB
as
possible
and
should
be
connected using 2.5mm
sq
cable
not
exceeding
2
metres
in
length. The input
cable
for
the X-3
may now
be
connected
preferably
via
a
covered junction
box as
follows:
BROWN
to
LIVE
(marked
L or
red
in
colour)
BLUE
to
NEUTRAL (marked
N or
black
in
colour)
GREEN/YELLOW
to
EARTH
(marked
E or
green
in
colour)
Input 198-240 volts A.C. 50/60HZ
WARNING:
This appliance must
be
earthed.
We
strongly recommend the X-3
is
built into the van permanently, the use
of
plug
and socket connections
is
not
advised.
If
a
13
amp
plug
is
used this must
be
connected
as
follows:
The

The
colours
of
the
wires
in
the

may not
correspond with
the

if
so
proceed
as
follows:
The
