Technical description

6.1 Description
The refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator. The refrigerator is designed to operate
with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply, a DC power
supply or with liquefied gas (propane or butane). The vehicle battery can be used for
DC operation. The thermostatic control ensures that the refrigerator temperature is
kept constant and as little power as possible is consumed.
The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic flame monitor which automatically
interrupts the gas supply after approx. 30 seconds if the flame goes out.
For the RMD8xx1 refrigerators (devices with electronics) there are two optional bat-
tery compartments in the electronic control unit housing for internal (autonomous)
power supply to the control unit.
The RMD8xx5 refrigerators have an automatic operating mode which selects the
most economical power mode connected.
