Selection BAI TERT SELECT It is possible to manually select which battery is connected to the 12v circuits within the caravan When a battery is in circuit it can be discharged by any 12v appliances or lights which are switched on but can also receive charge from the battery charger when that charger is operating C Pressing this button will put the leisure battery in circuit and this will be confirmed by illumination of the LED next to the button Pressing the button again would take the battery back out of circuit The control panel monitors the voltage of the leisure battery and if that voltage falls below 10 0volts for more than 2 minutes then the system will automatically take the battery out of circuit This is to protect the battery from complete discharge It is likely in this situation that the charger will not be operating and so without power the system will switch off When preparing for a journey the leisure battery should be selected to enable the subsequent setting of the controls on the fridge The control panel should then be left in this state during the journey When the tow zi vehicle engine is started all the appliances and lights will be isolated except for the fridge and charge from the alternator will also be directed to the leisure battery Pressing this button will put the tow vehicle engine battery in circuit when the tow vehicle is connected via the 13 pin to
