- Fit a 100 A fuse in the positive cable near the positive terminal of the starter battery to protect the generator's electrical system.

▶ Connect the negative terminal of the battery using a cable with a suitable cross-section (see above) as follows:

– to the earth connection on the generator (fig. 18 1, page 11) or
– via the inserts at the side of the generator (fig. 18 2, page 11)

▶ Connect the earth connection on the generator to the vehicle chassis.

Remove any paint or rust from the chassis if necessary to ensure good contact.

▶ Protect the connections by applying lubrication.

10.6 Configuring the automatic mode

DOMETIC TEC 29 - Configuring the automatic mode - 1

NOTE

  • You can only use automatic mode:
  • if the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off
  • To shorten charging times, an additional charging unit with at least 20 A can be installed between the generator and disconnector switch, especially if batteries with a capacity of more than 60 Ah are used.
  • Make sure that one of the two instructions stickers provided is clearly visible affixed next to the external control panel.
  • Make sure that the second instructions sticker is affixed to the generators front door.

In automatic mode, the generator switches on automatically and charges the battery if the voltage of the connected battery is too low.

The generator switches off automatically once the battery has been fully charged.

The circuit diagram for the automatic mode can be found in fig. 19, page 12.

▶ Connect the black wire to terminal 6 of the 6-pin plug on the extension cable.
▶ Connect the black wire to switch 1 (not included in the scope of delivery).
▶ Lead the black wire from switch 1 to the ground through a connection managed by the ignition key.

10.7 Creating a priority circuit

You can create a priority circuit using the AG 102 changeover relay whereby the external voltage supply has priority over the generator, see circuit diagram (fig. 20, page 13):

Item Description

1 230 V external voltage supply

2 Vehicle electrical distribution system

3 Connection box

▶ Mount the AG 102 changeover relay in a suitable position.
▶ Disconnect the cable which links the mains input with the circuit breaker in the electrical distribution system of the vehicle so that the connections can be made as shown in the circuit diagram.
▶ Use a flat plug for connecting the cable to the switch.
▶ Connect A with plug-in sleeve 4 and B with plug-in sleeve 6.
▶ Connect the cable from the 230 V connection terminal of the generator to plug-in sleeve 1 and plug-in sleeve 3.

10.8 Connecting the remote control

▶ Connect the remote control to the connection box of the generator using the extension cable provided on the plug for the remote control (fig. 17 3, page 11).

10.9 Connecting the float

▶ Connect the float from the tank to the float connection (fig. 17 4, page 11).

10.10 Connecting two genarators in parallel

DOMETIC TEC 29 - Connecting two genarators in parallel - 1

NOTE

Use only one starter battery to start both generators.

When connecting the generators, note the following:

- It is not possible to connect more than two generators in parallel.

  • To start one generator at a time the starter battery capacity has to be according to the generator manual (minimum capacity: 60 Ah).
    To start both generators at the same time you have to double the battery capacity.
  • The cross section of the battery connection cable for each generator has to be at least:
  • 10 ~mm^2 if the total length is less than 6 ~m
  • 16 ~mm^2 if the total length is more than 6 ~m

DOMETIC TEC 29 - NOTE - 1

NOTE

  • The maximum distance between each generator to the junction box is 15 m.
  • The maximum length difference between the output cables of the generators must be 2 m.

Proceed as follows (fig. 21, page 14):

▶ Connect each generator to a junction box (1; not included in the scope of delivery).
The minimum cross section for each generator output cable is 2.5 mm^2 .
▶ Create a single output for the load (2) inside the junction box (1).
The minimum cross section for the parallel output cable is 6 mm^2 .
Connect the battery's negative pole to ground.
▶ Connect the output ground cable to ground.
▶ Connect the change over switch AG 113 (available as accessory) between the junction box and the load.
▶ To properly run the generators in parallel connect the inverters (4) of each generator using the parallel cable (3; available as accessory).
