The 12V circuit must be protected with a 16A fuse.
The heating element circuit must be connected to the vehicle battery by a suitable
ignition operated relay in order that the 12V supply is only live while the vehicle
ignition is switched on.
The connection C/D (interior light, electronics ; cable black / violet) must be
permanently attached, and must not be cut-out when the vehicle ignition key is
turned off. This can be realised with an on-board habitation battery .
For 12V operation any habitation isolation relay must be by-passed.
Electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
The connection cables must be laid in such a way that they do not come
in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges.
The electrical installation must comply with national regulations
(EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1, EN 1648-2 for Europe).
It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or
automatic circuit breaker. The power cable must be laid in such a way
that it does not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner
or with sharp edges.
