Terminal Strip; D+ And Solar Connection (Only For Aes Models) - Dometic RM 8501 Consignes D'installation

CAUTION!
To protect the on-board 12 V circuit provide
the following fuses:
- RM8xxx, RMS8xxx: 15 A
- RML855x, RMSL855x: 20 A
In order to ensure that the 12V power supply is
shut off when stopping the engine (otherwise the
battery would discharge within a few hours),
perform the power supply to the heating element
(connection A/B in wiring diagram) in a way to
have the 12V supply only live while the vehicle
ignition is switched on.

For MES and AES it is compulsory to provide a permanent 12V DC supply at the ter-
minals C/D (permanent voltage supply for functional electronics).

The connection C/D (interior light, electronics,
cable black / violet) must be permanently provi−
ded by a 12V DC power supply to be protected
by a 2A fuse.
CAUTION!
If the appliance is installed in a caravan
the respective leads for the 12V+ and
12V- connections A/B and C/D must not
be connected to each other on the cara-
van-side .
Connections :
A = Ground heating element DC
B = Positive connection, heating element DC
C = Ground electronics
D = Positive connection, electronics
D+ = Alternator signal
S+ = AES input signal from solar charge
regulator
In >Automatic Mode< the AES electronic
system automatically selects the most efficient
energy supply. In automatic mode the electronic
system uses the D+ signal (dynamo +) of the
alternator to detect 12V DC. 12V DC operation
is selected only while the engine is running in
order to prevent battery discharge.
