Connect The 120 Volts Ac Supply; Connect The 12 Volts Dc Supply (3-Way Models Only); Connect The Propane Gas Components; Connect The Propane Gas Supply System - Norcold N260.3 Serie Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

This refrigerator operates on these electrical sources. Operation
out of these limits may damage the refrigerator's electrical circuit
parts and will void the warranty.
!
WARNING:
The rear of the refrigerator cooling system
has hot surfaces and sharp surfaces that can damage
electrical wiring. Make sure that there is a good clearance
between all electrical wiring and the cooling system of
the refrigerator. Position any electrical wiring within the
refrigerator enclosure opposite the burner side of the
refrigerator. Do not put any electrical wiring through the
roof exhaust vent. Failure to correctly position electrical
wiring can result in electrical shock or fire.

Connect the 120 volts AC supply:

!
WARNING:
Connect the AC power cord only to a
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not remove the
round ground prong from the power cord. Do not use
a two-prong adapter or an extension cord. Operation
of the refrigerator without a correct ground could cause
dangerous electrical shock or death if you are touching the
metal parts of the refrigerator or the vehicle.
Put the AC power cord into a grounded three-prong receptacle:
- Make sure the receptacle is within easy reach of the lower
intake vent.
- Make sure the power cord does not touch the burner cover,
the flue pipe, or any hot component that could damage the
insulation of the power cord.

Connect the 12 volts DC supply (3-way models only):

As the distance from the vehicle battery to the refrigerator
increases, the correct AWG wire size and fuse size also increase.
If the wire size is too small for the distance, a voltage drop
occurs. The voltage drop decreases the output of the system
heater and causes decreased cooling performance.
1. Determine the min. wire size and the max. fuse size to use:
!
WARNING:
If you use an incorrect wire size and/or fuse
size, electrical fire can result.
- Measure the distance from the vehicle battery to the
refrigerator:
- If the distance is 0 - 20 feet, use a minimum of 12 AWG
wire and a maximum 20 amp fuse.
- If the distance is more than 20 feet, use a minimum 10
AWG wire and a maximum 30 amp fuse.
- If the wire size is larger than the min. size, use the correct
fuse per RVIA A119.2 standard or local codes.
The wire connections must be clean, tight and free of corrosion.
If any of these items are not correct:
- A voltage drop to the refrigerator will occur.
Installation and Owner's Manual 12
- The voltage drop will reduce the cooling performance of the
refrigerator.
The terminals for connecting the DC power supply are marked
positive (+) and negative (-) on the terminal block of the
refrigerator. Make sure that:
- Each DC power supply wire is attached to the correct polarity
wire.
- The chassis or the vehicle frame is not used as one of the
conductors.
- The DC power supply wires including the fuses are routed
directly from the battery to the refrigerator.
2. Connect the D.C. power supply wires:
- Attach a 1/4 inch female Quick Connect terminal to each DC
power supply wire.
- Push each power wire onto the terminal block [1] at the rear
of the refrigerator (See Art01035).
- Make sure each DC power supply wire is on the correct
polarity terminal.

Connect the Propane Gas Components

This refrigerator operates on propane gas at a pressure of 11
inches Water Column Propane.

Connect the propane gas supply system:

!
WARNING:
Be very careful when working on or near the
propane gas supply system.
- Do not smoke, or use an open flame near the propane
gas system.
- Do not use an open flame to examine for leaks.
- Do not connect the refrigerator to the gas tank without a
pressure regulator between them.
- To avoid possible propane gas leaks, always use two
wrenches to tighten or loosen the gas supply line
connections.
- Leaking propane gas can ignite or explode and result in
dangerous personal injury or death.
Connect the gas supply line to the refrigerator:
- Make sure all tubing and fittings obey all local, state, and
national codes about size and type.
- Make sure that all flexible metal connectors obey the current
CAN 1-6.10 Standard.
