10.6.4 Operation (Dometic 8 series with automatic energy selection
system)
Operating modes
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic system to select the type of energy
(AES). If automatic mode (AU) is selected, the AES automatically selects the optimal
energy source and regulates the refrigerator operation. Manual intervention to
select the type of power is possible but not required.
The AES selects from the following types of energy:
z Solar installation 12 V
z 230 VAC
z 12 VDC
z Gas
The energy source highest on the list is selected.
The LED indicator " " (Fig. 135,3) flashes in case of faults.
230 V operation If the 230 V power supply is connected, this energy source is selected as the first pri-
ority by the AES.
12 V operation 12 V operation is only selected by the AES if the vehicle's engine is running and the
alternator supplies sufficient 12 V operating power.

Z Even when the 12 V supply is switched off, a small electrical current flows which
puts an extra load on the living area or vehicle battery. Always switch the refrig-
erator off during a temporary lay-up.
