2. CEE 17 a Wiring for Electronic Igniter where fitted The electronic igniter for the gas burner is for permanent connection to a 12V d c supply e g car battery In a motor van the igniter can be connected directly to the vehicle s main battery or to an existing 12V circuit in the vehicle which will remain on continuously and will not be switched off when the engine is switched off In a caravan in order to maintain the supply when the towing vehicle is unhitched the igniter must be connected to an auxiliary battery in the caravan The current drain of the igniter is negligible therefore the battery can be one that is also used for operating other equipment in the caravan such as the water pump lights etc Connect the igniter terminal block fig 11 to the battery ensuring that correct polarity is observed the terminals marked and must be connected to the similarly marked terminals of the battery The wire used for connecting should be at least 0 5 mm2 in cross sectional area and a 0 5 or 1 0 amp inline fuse should be fitted in the feed wire as near to the battery as possible Burner housing Igniter terminal block Housing for electronic components ligniter switch View of bottom of refrigerator showing electronic igniter layout Fig 11 b Mains Voltage Connection For connection to a 230V electricity supply the refrigerator has a 3 core mains lead which is intended for connection to a oroperly ea
