Starter Battery B1; Living Room Battery B2; Establishing The 230 V Power Supply - Karmann-Mobil DEXTER 540 2022 Bedienungsanleitung

The connected control panel (12) can be used to call off information and/or to switch the consuming units
on and off. (See section "Control panel").

Starter battery B1

The starter battery (13) of the vehicle, also referred to as B1, is also connected to the 12 V power supply.
It is located under the floor mat of the driver's seat. It is charged directly by the engine generator.
It supplies all basic functions of your vehicle (headlights, indicators, windscreen wipers, etc.), but also
certain appliances in the living room (refrigerator during travel). When the 230 V power supply is
established, the B1 starter battery is automatically charged by the battery charger if required.
More information can be found in the operating manual for the base vehicle.

Living room battery B2

The living room battery (4) of the vehicle, also referred to as B2, supplies the connected consuming units,
i.e. the fresh water pump (6), interior lighting (7), electric step (8), heating control (9), 12 V interior socket
(10) and refrigerator (11), with 12 V power. When the 230 V power supply is established, the B2 living
room battery is automatically charged by the battery charger. When the vehicle is in motion, the B2
battery is charged by the alternator of the vehicle. It is installed in the underbed compartment on the
passenger side.
CAUTION
Hazard from deep discharge of the batteries!
Check the state of charge of the batteries regularly on the control panel. If this drops
below 40 %, there is a risk of deep discharge and therefore of permanent damage to the
battery.

Establishing the 230 V power supply

When you have arrived at your destination, you should
connect to the 230 V power supply immediately. For this, the
vehicle has to be connected to the 230 V power supply using
the CEE connector on the outside of the vehicle.
We recommend using a three-core supply cable with a
sufficient cross-section (3 x 2.5 mm²) and a max. length of
25 m. This cable must be fitted with water-proof connecting
fittings 230 V/16 A. The small blue lever (arrow) has to be
actuated to release the connector.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
If any problems occur with the electrical system, contact your authorised dealer or an
authorised specialist workshop.
