6.0 INSTALLATION GUIDE On installation of the appliance, the technical and administrative regulations of the country in which the vehicle will first be used must be adhered to. Otherwise the refrigerator must be installed as described in these instructions. In some OEM applications it may not be possible for these instructions to be followed exactly. In this case an authorised Dometic representative may issue supplementary instruction.
6.2 Draught-free installation The refrigerator must be sealed in accordance with EN 1949. Do NOT use any easily inflammable materials (in particular silicone sealing agent or similar) for sealing! The device manufacturer's product liability and guarantee shall lapse if such materials are used. Illustrated below are two typical approved methods of sealing. Proposal 1: FIG. 1 Using the Installation Sealing Kit from Dometic (SP.No.
In this case, for gas operation, do not use the upper winter covering! If even with draught-free installation a fume chimney is desirable, you must incorporte the L100 ventilation and extraction system into the upper air vent opening. Installation of fume chimney: please refer to point “6.7”. Deviations shall require the consent of the manufacturer. 6.
6.4 Installing the ventilation system L 200 L 100 To install the ventilation grilles, cut two rectangles (451mm x 156mm) in the outer wall of the vehicle (for position of the cuts, see point “6.3”). Item 1 does not apply for installation framess with an integrated seal. 1. Seal the mounting frame, making it waterproof. 2. Insert the frame ... ... and screw into position. 3. Insert the ventilation grilles. 4. Lock the ventilation grilles. 5.
6.5 Installation recess The refrigerator must be installed draught-free in a recess (see point “6.2”). The measurements of the recess are given in the table below. Step (A) is only required for cabinets with a step. Push the appliance far enough into the recess until the front edge of the refrigerator casing is flush with the front of the recess. Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the back wall of the recess and the refrigeration unit.
6.7 Fume extraction Fume extraction must be arranged in such a way as to provide complete extraction of all products of combustion to an area outside the living area. The flue system must slope in an upward direction in order to avoid a build-up of condensation. An installation that is not carried out by qualified persons causes a reduction in the cooling capacity and will jeopardize the manufacturer's guarantee. 6.7.1 Fitting the fume flue in the upper ventilation grille min. 10 mm max. 20 mm 1.
6.7.2 Separate fume extraction ( special accessories ) min. 10 mm max. 20 mm Cutout: 80mm high 40mm wide 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 6.8 1. Cut an 80mm x 40mm rectangle in the outer wall of the caravan. The position of the cut must be appropriate to the particular model of refrigerator and installation conditions. 2. Connect T-piece (E) to adaptor (F) or flue pipe (K) as required and affix with screw (G). Ensure that heat baffle (H) is lodged in the correct position. Insert tail pipe (C) through the aperture.
The gas connection to the appliance is effected by means of a suitable coupling tube fitting L8, DIN 2353-ST, complying with EN 1949 (e. g. Ermeto). The gas connection may only be carried out by a qualified personnel. Following proper installation, a testing for leakage and a flame test must be carried out by *qualified personnel in compliance with EN 1949 . A certificate of testing must be issued.
6.9 Electrical installation Electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel. The connection cables must be laid in such a way that they do not come in contact with hot components of the unit/burner or with sharp edges. The electrical installation must comply with national regulations (EN 60335-2-24, EN 1648-1, EN 1648-2 for Europe). It is advisable to run the incoming supply through an on-board fuse or automatic circuit breaker.
6.9.3 D+ connection and Solar Control connection (only for RM 7XX5L appliances) D+ connection The D+ control connection must be connected to the respective vehicle terminal (alternator signal while motor is running). Solar control input (S+): Connection only when using a solar system with a solar charging controller with AES output. The respective solar charging controllers are available from a specialized dealer.
