Important notes on the electrical connection
• Only a qualified electrician should connect the generator to the electrical power.
• Check that the voltage specification on the type plate is the same as that of the
power supply.
• Do not lay the 230 Vw mains cable and the 12/24 Vg cable together in the
same cable duct.
• Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically conductive material
(metal).
• Connect the generator to a power circuit which can supply the necessary current
(chapter "Technical data" on page 21).
• Create a priority circuit which prioritises the 230 V external voltage over the volt-
age produced by the generator (chapter "Creating the priority circuit" on
page 20).
• Select the cross-section of the cable as follows:
– 230 V: 6 mm²
– Battery connection (length < 6 m): 16 mm²
– Battery connection (length > 6 m): 25 mm²
• Install a manual main switch which can disconnect all the consumers from the
generator with the exception of the battery.

NOTICE! Damage hazard
Connect a relay or a switch to the vehicle's electrical system so that the
generator is not damaged when the power supply is switched on.
➤ Connect the generator according to the circuit diagram (fig. e, page 8).
