  • Page 16: After The Drive

    2. Safety Driving in reverse Your HOBBY caravan has a braking system with automatic reverse. It enables you to drive backwards without applying the brakes, becau- se the overrun coupling does not differentiate between overrunning or reversing the caravan. When you back up the caravan, you must first overcome a slight residual brake torque in order to activate the automatic reverse.

  • Page 68 7. Installation of electrical devices • Avoid total discharge since this significantly reduces the perfor- mance capacity and service life of the batteries. • Check the level of the battery fluid regularly (acid batteries); AGM-batteries require no maintenance, but must be continuo- usly recharged. • Check that the battery clamps are secure and remove any layers of oxide. • If the battery is not used for a longer period of time (e weeks or more) press the pushbutton (see page 87). The standby current used continuously by some electrical devices discharges the bat- tery. Even if the main switch on the control panel has been swit- ched off, the battery can still be charged by the battery charger. • If the battery has been removed, isolate the positive pole (to pre- vent short circuits).

  • Page 76 7. Installation of electrical devices The value “R” shows the calibration check. If “1” is output, the sen- sor will be calibrated (target state). If “0” is output, the measured values may deviate slightly and the sensor should be recalibrated. Normally, calibration is carried out automatically, whereby neither the charging nor the discharge current may be more than 150mA. The system can be manually calibrated - while using the 230V mains operation or - if no electrical device has been switched on in 12V operation. To do this, the 30A main fuse must be switched off by pressing the pushbutton on the battery container (see “Operation via auxiliary battery”). Now the sensor can calibrate itself. This process takes approx. three hours. If the fuse is then switched on again, a value of 1 should be shown on the display.

  • Page 88 7. Installation of electrical devices Protecting the 230V system The 230 V system is protected by a two-pole 13 A automatic circuit breaker , which is located in the clothes cupboard (460 HL + 470 UL ONTOUR in the seating arrangement). (Exceptions to this include special installations, such as ultraheat, hot-water heating, etc.. In this case, an additional two-pole 16 A circuit brea- ker has been installed.) If there are two automatic circuit breakers, both must be switched on. Rules for the mains connection • Use only a 3 x 2.5 mm² cable with a maximum length of 25 m, a CEE connector plug and connector to connect the camper to an external 230V mains. When obtaining electricity via a cable drum, this must be completely unwound, as otherwise induction may cause the cable to heat up, which could lead to burning (provided there is no protection against overheating). • The 230 V mains connection in the caravan has been designed for a total power consumption of 2300 W. If additional devices requiring electricity are connected, such as a water heater, etc., you must ensure that this electric power value is not exceeded, taking other electrical equipment in use, such as the refrigera- tor, therme, etc., into account. Residual current device...
  • Page 89 7. Installation of electrical devices This check should be carried out at least once a month to ensure that the residual current device functions perfectly in case there should be a fault in the current. When the FI switch has been set off (even when te- sting) the customised settings in all mains-operated devices are lost and the default settings made by the manufacturer will apply again. If the automatic circuit breaker has gone off (other than if the Test function has been used) you must wait a short while before swit- ching it on again. - If the automatic circuit breaker remains active, there was only an overload. - If the automatic circuit breaker goes off abruptly again, there is either a short circuit or an earth fault.
