ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

A 12 V supply to the refrigerator is therefore

only possible when the vehicle is travelling.

This prevents the body battery from being

discharged by the refrigerator during

standstills.

Battery

The body battery is charged by the Automatic

charger. The best charging capacity is

obtained when the body battery is charged

for at least 24 hours. If 230V is not connected,

care must be taken to ensure that the body

battery is not exhausted. This may cause

permanent damage; the battery will then not

have its full capacity. You should therefore

check the optical battery warning indicator

on the control panel (p. 6-1). The voltage may

not fall into the red zone (10 volt). When the

vehicle is temporarily laid up for the winter,

pay attention to silent consumers, such 

as the stand-by functions of the radio. Note 

the instructions for winter operation on

pages 11-1/11-2.

A single exhaustion of the body battery

may damage it.
