Electrical Connection; 12 V Supply Of Reigniter - Electrolux RM 4180 User Manual

The supply pipe should preferably be of copper. If any other
material is used, it must be of a type approved for use with
continuously operating bottled- gas appliances, and have
threaded compression connections throughout. PUSH-ON
CONNECTIONS MUST NOT BE USED (We do not appro-
ve the use of "rubber" type flexible tubing for connecting
permanently operating appliances of this type in the United
Kingdom). All connectors etc. should be of a type specifical-
ly designed for the type and diameter of the connection pipe
used, and screwed joints should be sealed with a joining
compound approved for use with bottled gas.
The gas supply pipe should be connected to the gas inlet
pipe on the right hand side of the gas control valve by
means of a suitable threaded compression coupling.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a gas cock of
an approved type for gas on LPG must be incorporated in
the supply line in a position which is readily accessible to
the user. For eventual servicing purposes, the union should
be on the outlet side of the cock and the pipework should
be positioned so as not to prevent the refrigerator from
being readily withdrawn.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner, taking into account all relevant regula-
tions and codes of practice. For mains voltage operation, it
is important that the circuit to and in the caravan is effec-
tively earthed. ALL MAINS VOLTAGE WIRING IN THE
CARA-VAN MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CURRENT I.E.E. REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE
USE OF AN OUTLET AND COUPLER TO BS4343/-
CEE17.
For connection to a 230 V electricity supply, the refrigerator
has a 3-core mains lead which is intended for connection to
a properly earthed plug and socket outlet or fused spur.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead of this appliance
are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW = EARTH
BLUE = NEUTRAL
BROWN = LIVE
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, in
the United Kingdom, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol
green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED !
In the United Kingdom, the plug or circuit to the refrigerator
must be fitted with a fuse not greater than 5 amps. If a 13
amp.(B.S.1363) fused plug is used, it should be fitted with a
3 amp. fuse. In other countries, the fuse rating will depend
upon the voltage and local practice.

230 V Supplies.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the same
as the mains voltage in use (230 V).
Electrical leads must be routed and secured so that
they cannot come into contact with hot or sharp parts
of the refrigerator.
12 V Supplies
Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery by a direct
cable. To avoid a voltage drop, the cross sectional area of
the connecting cable between battery and refrigerator must
2
be at least 2.5 mm if the distance is less than 9 meters,
2
and at least 4 mm if the distance is more than 9 meters
To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must be
fitted with a fuse rated at max. 16 A.
To prevent the refrigerator from draining the battery, make
sure that the current supplied to the caravan is cut off when
the vehicle engine is not running, for example by fitting an
ignition control relay.

12 V supply of reigniter (RM 4181)
Fig. 12 shows the wiring diagramme of the refrigerator as
delivered. The 12 V supply enters at (L). The reigniter (A) is
fed via two wires (1) and (2) at terminal block (L).
It is advisable to feed the reigniter and the lighting from a
separate 12 V source. To do this: remove the wires (A) and
connect the supply as is shown in fig. 11.
The reigniter should not be connected directly to a
battery charger but only over a battery.
