Electrical Connection; Securing The Refrigerator - Furrion ARCTIC FCR08DCGTA Serie Manual De Usuario

NOTE: Cabinet/enclosures of absorption style fridges
may be built with a 3 degree slope towards the rear. The
slope is to allow moisture drainage towards the sidewall
vent.
● The cooling system is a forced air closed loop design,
with inlet and exhaust on the bottom front of the unit. The
enclosure does not need to be ventilated for any purpose.
There is also no need for additional insulation on sides
and top of the enclosure. The enclosure can be treated as
a normal cabinet enclosure of the living space.
● Face surfaces of the cabinet enclosure made from solid
MDF should contain a softwood backing as a skeleton for
mounting support, and to reduce splitting.
NOTE: A softwood core with MDF laminate, or a soft/
hardwood face will be sufficient without a skeleton
backing.

Electrical Connection

WARNING
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should
be carried out by a qualified or competent person.
All Furrion products referenced in this manual are to be
installed in accordance with local and national codes,
including the latest editions of the following standards:
USA:
● NFPA 1192
● NFPA 70
● ANSI/RVIA low Voltage
Canada:
● C22.1
● CSA Z240
The appliance is powered by Nominal DC 12V and must be
supplied at SAFETY EXTRA-LOW VOLTAGE circuit, a listed
power converter that conforms to UL 458 and/or C22.2 No.
107.1 is required.
Circuit Wiring Based on Voltage Drop:
Circuit wiring, gauge (AWG), length, and routing is to be
determined by the installer. It must not exceed a voltage drop
at the appliance of more than .4V DC.
To Measure: Start the appliance from warm, isolate and
measure the voltage difference between each DC12V power
source(s) and the appliance connection. If the Voltage drop
exceeds .4V DC, the length of wire should be shortened, and/
or Wire gauge (AWG) increased.
Circuit Rating: Min 15Amp, Max 40Amp. Do not share circuit
with any other utilization equipment.
NOTE: The circuit must be fused appropriately for the wire
gauge (AWG) used, within 18" of the DC 12V power source.
Only a single blow fuse or manual resettable breaker is
allowed, auto-resetting breakers must not be used. Do not
add an additional fuse to the pigtail end of the appliance.
The following is a starting guideline for wire sizing and should
be adjusted based on actual voltage drop:
● Max 20ft = 10AWG
● Max 35ft = 8AWG
● Max 55ft = 6AWG
CCD-0005506 Rev: 03-24-22
Installation TIPS:
● Voltage drop can be reduced by terminating the -12V
(white) lead directly to the vehicle chassis.
● -12V (white) and Ground (Green) leads can be combined
at the appliance or individually terminated.
● Enter supply wire into the cabinet space. It is acceptable
to enter through the cabinet floor, sidewall, backwall or
ceiling. Ensure that the wire enters within the free cabinet
space behind the refrigerator.
● Furrion recommends dropping the 12V supply wire from
the upper ceiling or upper rear wall. Temporarily affix the
wires to the upper half of the appliance with tape so that
excess wire will droop without risk of rubbing with the
appliance chassis and floor during installation.
Drainage Preparation
The cavity condensate drainage is captured in a drain pan
integrated with the unit. No external drainage needs to be
prepared at this point.

Securing the Refrigerator

1. Center the appliance in the cabinet and adjust to align
the trim evenly to cover gaps. If the trim is uneven or
protruding from the cabinet face, ensure the cabinet base
is level and add shims to align. Do not force the appliance
chassis into position as this will tweak it out of shape.
2. Affix the refrigerator to the cabinet using the appropriate
screws for the material (Fig 1 & 2). Ensure that the screw
affixes into a soft or hardwood substrate for support.
Mounting only into MDF material is not sufficient.
NOTE: If securing a refrigerator in a cabinet with a sidewall
vent, no additional mounting or sealing is necessary on the
rear of the appliance.
