4.1 Installation
WARNING!
Dometic AC/DC converters are perma-
nently installed and connected by the
vehicle manufacturer. It is not permitted
to connect cables to the unit or remove
them from it or to modify the installation
in any other way.
Install the AC/DC converter at a place
which is well ventilated and protected
against moisture. In order to achieve opti-
mum heat removal, the device must be
mounted vertically (see Fig. 2).
Comply with the stated clearances for the
installation. There must be no easily inflam-
mable materials such as textiles, paper etc.
located in this area.
Ensure that the air circulation is neither
obstructed by covers or other disruptive
influences.
The AC/DC converter can only be operated
with sinusoidal mains voltage (230 V AC). If
a generator provides this voltage, surge
voltage protection should be installed
upstream of the power unit.

4.1.1 Vertical Installation

The optimum installation of the AC/DC conver-
ter is in the vertical position (Fig. 2). The maxi-
mum permitted ambient temperature is 50 °C.
A: Wall
B: Side wall
