Solar panel
A solar panel may be plugged into connector 2 of the electrical unit (option). It is important to correctly follow the assembly instructions
supplied by the solar panel manufacturer.
Solar panels often do not provide adequate additional charge when several electric appliances are used simultaneously
at night.
A cable is available behind the detachable panel (above the living area door).
Generator set
73
When using a generator set, please carry out the following steps in the right order:
• First start the generator set
• Connect the 230 V cable to the motorhome
A generator set connected to the motorhome's 230V system must be accurately adjusted (risk of damage to the internal
charger).
The circuit elements
Power pack
The electrical unit includes a charger, a transformer (complete 12V distribution), a 200 W inbuilt solar charge controller and fuses (circuit
protection). Depending on the model, it either sits under the front right or front-facing bench seat, in the storage area, or in a service
compartment behind the kitchen which is accessed via an external door.
230 V circuit breaker
The circuit breaker is next to the power pack.
The current consumed should not exceed 90% of the nominal value of the fuse on the electrical unit.
Sensors
Sensors measure the fresh water and wastewater tank levels, and the leisure battery charge.
No battery
For vehicles that do not come with an original leisure battery, the battery must be installed by a professional. When connecting a liquid lead
battery, a spillage tray (that can hold 20% of the total electrolyte) and a de-gassing hose must also be installed. A booster must be installed if
your chassis has an EcoPack or Stop&Start mode. It is highly recommended in all other cases.
