Electrical System; System; 120 V System; External Power Cord - Helio O Series Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

12 V system
• The trailer's 12 V functions include interior and exterior lighting,
as well as the water pump, the starting up of the heater (option),
and the starting up of the refrigerator.
• The tow vehicle provides the 12 V current for the trailer's side
marker lights' exterior lighting through the electrical cable.
• A power converter in the trailer converts 120 V electricity from an
external source into 12 V current to power the interior lighting.
The refrigerator is cabled so as to start up with the 12 V.

120 V system

The trailer can be connected to an external 120 V power source
to feed standard power outlets, the refrigerator in 120 V mode,
or optional air-conditioning in 120 V mode.

External power cord

Connecting a power cord to an inadequately grounded or
non-grounded power source can cause a dangerous and possibly
fatal electric shock.
WARNING
WARNING
Never use an adapter or 2-prong extension cord without proper
grounding and never use a non-grounded plug instead of the 30 A
moulded plug with the power cord.

WARNING
Note:
Given the potential danger of not heeding to this warning, the Helio
adaptation and commercial quality warranty, as well as any other
explicit warranty made in association with this sale, cannot take
effect and cannot be subject to any objection if damages, injuries,
or a death were the result of omitting to connect a power cord to
a properly grounded power source.
Certain electrical devices may have their own circuit breakers. If an
electrical outage occurs involving an electrical device, see the device
instruction manual for the steps to follow.

Fuses, circuit breakers, and light bulbs

A box of fuses is located next to the converter. Make sure you
check the cause of a blown fuse before replacing it. Never replace
a blown fuse by a fuse with a higher electrical current. The fuse
sequence is available inside of the fuse box cover.
A short circuit along the flowline can blow a fuse. Locate the short
circuit and take the necessary steps to repair it. If you cannot
locate the problem, call a qualified electrician.
The exterior 12 V electrical components such as brake and rear
lights are protected by a fuse via the tow vehicle's electrical
system. Check the owner's manual for the location of the fuses
and 12 V components and the appropriate way to replace them.
Tips:
• Try setting aside a few spare fuses and light bulbs somewhere
easily accessible. Remember that the fuses and spare light
bulbs must be the same strength as the electrical current and
the same type as or the equivalent of the original part.
• Spare fuses and light bulbs are available in most camping stores.
They can also be found at gas stations, hardware stores, or
automobile parts stores.
