Overseas Connections - Bailey Approach Autograph Series Owner's Manual

5. Switch on the RCD.
6. Switch on the fridge (230V phase) or plug
in a 230V light to one of the 13amp sockets.
This is to provide a load on the generator
and help remove any "spikes" in the supply
which can damage the charger unit.
7. Switch on the 5 amp circuit breaker and
any other appliances you require.
It is always advisable to have at least one other
mains appliance switched on with the charger
unit to minimise the chance of damage to it.
CAUTION: Do not connect the 12V
output of the generator to the
battery terminals.
CAUTION: The AC ripple must not
exceed 10%.

Overseas Connections

CAUTION: Connection to a mains
voltage supply overseas requires
particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting to a supply
abroad as the supply may have reverse polarity.
Reverse polarity can lead to safety issues due to
the fact when electrical equipment is switched
off it may not be electrically isolated. The only
certain way of making equipment safe is to
unplug it.
Motorhome Service Systems
A means of checking the polarity of the
mains supply when overseas is useful. There
are several proprietary makes of equipment
available for this purpose. These can be found
at www.bailey-parts.co.uk
The Leisure Battery
The leisure battery(s) is located under the floor
in the motorhome in a sealed compartment.
The Autograph compartment will accommodate
two batteries up to 110 amperes/hours capacity.
The Advance compartment accomodates one
battery of up to 110 amperes/ hours capacity.
The battery must be placed in the tray provided
in the battery storage compartment, and this
must be used at all times.
A battery of not less than 60 amperes/hours
capacity is recommended.
• The battery should be secured to prevent
movement when in transit.
• Metal objects should not be stored in the
battery box.
• DIY modifications/additions to the wiring
systems are not recommended. Consult
your dealer who will be pleased to carry out
such work.
• Switch off all appliances before
disconnecting battery.
• Negative connections should always be
disconnected first and reconnected last.
• Car type battery chargers are not suitable
for charging a leisure battery and may
damage it.
• When not using motorhome models always
ensure that the fridge control knob is turned
to the "off" position. Failure to do this will
result in a flat battery due to 12V power
drain from the fridge circuit relays.
• Crocodile clips should never be used to
connect the battery, and terminals should
be shrouded.
• Any replacement of an auxiliary battery
shall be of the same type and specification
as that originally fitted battery or as
specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION: Always switch off all
appliances and
disconnecting the auxiliary battery.
