  • Page 16: After Each Journey

    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.

Installation of electrical devices 7.4 Electrical supply An electrical supply to the caravan can be obtained from the following connections: - 230 V mains connection 50 Hz - via the tow vehicle if it is connected using the 13-pole plug (limited functions) - via a built-in battery *. Everything that uses 12 V, such as ligh- ting, water pump, etc., will work. Supply via mains hook up The caravan receives its electric power supply via the 230 V CEE feeder plug on the side wall of the caravan. CEE external socket To connect to a mains hook up point • Pull out the 13-pin plug that connects to the tow vehicle.

Installation of electrical devices Protecting the 230V system The 230 V system is protected by a two-pin 13 A automatic circuit breaker , which is located in the wardrobe (460 DL + 470 UL ONTOUR in the seating area). (Exceptions to this include special installations, such as ultraheat, hot-water heating, etc.. In this case, an additional two-pin 16 A circuit breaker has been installed.) If there are two automatic circuit breakers, both must be switched on.
  • Page 97 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 switched off (even when testing) 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. Devices that cause it to trip when in use show that there is a fault; they must be checked and/or repaired by an electrical engineering specialist. Switching it back on again and again will do no good. The automatic circuit breaker also goes off when the rocker switch is held firmly in place.
