4 Target Group

The electrical power supply must be connected by a qualified electrician who has demonstrated skill and
knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and installations, and who
is familiar with the applicable regulations of the country in which the equipment is to be installed and/or
used, and has received safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.

5 Intended use

The priority switch is intended for distributing power supply in recreational vehicles (RV) with two available voltage
supplies.
Two outputs are available:
• Electrical appliances that are used only when mains from grid is available.
• Electrical appliances that can be powered by both mains from grid and battery via an inverter.
The priority switch can be used according to the specified protection type after proper installation and cable routing
with suitable cable diameters and external strain relief. The device is not suitable for outdoor use.
This product is only suitable for the intended purpose and application in accordance with these instructions.

6 Technical description

If a mains voltage and voltage generated by the inverter (from a house battery) are both connected to the priority
switch, the use of the mains voltage has priority.
If only voltage generated by the inverter is available, the power supply from the battery is used. This ensures that the
limited power of the battery is only used when necessary. This is true for all electrical devices connected to the OUT-
PUT connection of the priority switch.
Electrical devices such as refrigerators and battery chargers can be connected to only receive power output from the
mains voltage, via the OUT connection. When no mains voltage input is available in IN, there is no power supply for
OUT. Fig.  on page 2
It is recommended (but optional) to connect a battery charger to the OUT output to charge the battery when mains
from grid is available.
