ARB highly recommends that this 2 pole connection be used for all 12V DC and 24V
DC connections of a fridge freezer. This will provide a positive and secure connection
between your power source and your fridge freezer.
The following points should be considered when choosing a location for your fridge
freezer auxiliary power socket.
Position the power socket as close to the fridge freezer as is practical.
Position the power socket in a convenient location that will allow the user to
easily connect and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Positioned the power socket in a protected location away from dust and
moisture.
Position the socket high in the vehicle to prevent it from becoming wet should
the vehicle ingest water.
NOTE – If the plug is removed and the fridge freezer is hard wired into a 12V
or 24V DC circuit, a 15 Amp inline fuse must be included in the circuit.
