Operation Manual

07-5
If the selector switch of the Dometic
refrigerator has been set to 12 V, the
refrigerator will operate automatically
on 12 V when the ignition of the base
vehicle has been switched on, i.e. it
is not necessary to press the main
switch.
All other 12 V electrical devices
will only operate on the battery of
the base vehicle if they have been
centrally activated using the main
switch on the control panel.
If the ignition of the base vehicle has
been switched on, the outer tent
light will automatically be switched
off. In this case, it cannot be
switched on again.

Functions of the main switch
• After initially connecting the caravan to the
230 V mains, you must press either the main
switch or any other control key in order to
activate all of the 12 V electrical devices and
the 230 V electrical devices that are switched
by the system (e.g. therme, oor heating).
• Once the system is in operation, press the
main switch briey to turn all of the lights off.
All of the 12 V steady electrical devices (e.g.
water supply, refrigerator control, heat blower)
remain activated. The devices that were pre-
viously switched on are stored in the system;
pressing on the main switch reactivates them.
This also resets the degree to which those
lights were dimmed that can be regulated.
• Pressing the main switch for at least four
seconds while the system is switched on
will turn off not only the presently activated
devices, but also the entire 12 V system (in
self-sufcient caravans, this will not cut off the
charging of the battery).
• If there should be a power failure, the system
will remember whether the main switch was
on or off. As soon as the power is back on,
the main switch will automatically switch itself
back on. Electrical devices that continuous-
ly use current, such as the heating, will then
begin to operate again.
