SOLAR PANELS
The solar panels are fixed to the roof of your Zone RV caravan. To ensure they are
operating at maximum efficiency it is recommended that they are inspected and
cleaned on a regular basis. Do not stand or place objects on the solar panels under any
circumstance.
CAUTION – Ensure that appropriate safety equipment is used when cleaning
the solar panels to prevent fall from height injuries. There are no anchor
points on the caravan roof that are suitable for fall arrest/ restraint
purposes.
50A RED ANDERSON PLUG FITTED FOR PORTABLE SOLAR PANELS
Location: Rear, drivers side of the caravan.
A RED Anderson plug is fitted for connection of portable solar panels. This Anderson plug
is connected to the solar input of the DC/DC charger. Your portable panel must have
the regulator removed or bypassed for the solar panel to work with the onboard DC/DC
charger. Ensure that your portable solar panel has a RED Anderson plug installed.
INVERTER
The battery system supplies the inverter with 12V to convert it to 240V therefore using
240V appliances whilst not connected to mains power will drain your battery.
240V POWER SYSTEM
The 240V system is only available if you have 240V power plugged in from an external
source or the 3000W inverter. External power may be from a caravan park or from your
generator. This will automatically provide power to all 240V outlets in your van, 240V
power point behind the fridge (for AC charger) A/C, washing machine and fridge.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - GENERATORS
If supplying 240V to your ZONE RV with a generator, you may need to load shed if you are
intending on using multiple appliances. If using a low-capacity generator, you may need to
isolate the supply to the 240V point for the battery charger if you want to run your A/C.
CAUTION: All work on the 12V and 240V electrical systems must only be
carried out by suitably trained and certified persons. Failure to do so may
result in injury or death or voiding of Zone RVs warranty.
