Electrical Connection; Technical Data - Dometic RM 4601 Manual

The supply pipe should preferable 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 connections throughout.
All connectors etc. should be of a type specifically de-
signed 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 connection at the rear of the refrigerator by means
of a suitable threaded coupling.
The connection nipple is furnished with an ISO 7/1 - Rp
1/8 internal pipe thread connection.
In making the connection to the refrigerator, a union gas
cock of an approved type bottled gas must be incorpo-
rated in the supply line in a position that is readily acces-
sible 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refrigerator from being readily withdrawn.
All completed connections should be checked for leaks
with soapy water.
WARNING!
DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
On completion of installation, the system must be
pressure tested by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical installation must be carried out in a proper
and durable manner; taking into accounts all relevant
regulations and codes of practice.
For mains voltage operation, it is important that the
circuit to and in the caravan is effectively earthed.
The refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong (ground-
ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. DO NOT cut off or remove the ground-
ing prong from this plug. The free length of the cord is
1.8 m and therefore recommended that the receptacle
be located to the left side of the refrigerator (viewed from
the rear) and approximately 100-150 mm from the floor.
This allows easy access through the vent door.
230-240 V Supplies.
Check that the voltage stated on the data plate is the
same as the main voltage in use (230-240 V).
Plug the 230-240 V refrigerator power cord into an eas-
ily accessible wall socket.
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
The 12 V connection of the refrigerator is shown in fig. 7.
Connect the refrigerator to the vehicle battery or alterna-
tor by a direct cable; (check the polarity).
The connection is made to the terminal block (fig. 7
"Heater").
The connection is made to the positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals of the terminal block. Correct polarity must
be observed when connecting to the 12 volt DC supply.
Do not use the chassis or the vehicle frame as one of
the conductors.
Connect two wires at the refrigerator and route directly
to the 12 volt DC supply.
To avoid a voltage drop, the cross section area of the
connecting cables between battery/alternator and the re-
frigerator must be 10 mm
To ensure satisfactory operation, the positive lead must
be fitted with a fuse rated at 25 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.
