SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual has safety information and instructions to help users eliminate or reduce the risk of
accidents and injuries.
RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION
!
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see
this symbol in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Before installing your Dometic refrigerator , refer to the
Tundra Installation Check List 3309081.0XX located
in the envelope assembly furnished with your Tundra
Refrigerator.
B. This refrigerator is designed for making ice and the
conservation of food and drinks only .
C. All materials exposed to contact with food comply with
EC directive 89/109.
D. Inst all appliance away from heat sources in a dry and
well-ventilated area. Avoid direct contact with water.
The Refrigerator is not waterproof.
E. This refrigerator complies with EC directive 89/336
governing radio suppression.
Note: The data plate bearing the model number , serial number, and technical data is located on the right-hand side,
inside the refrigerator. An identical dat a plate is located on
the back of the cabinet.
SPECIFICATIONS
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating instructions.

A. Danfoss Compressor Data
1. Volt age Operating Range
12 VDC systems: From 10.4 VDC to 17 VDC
24 VDC systems: From 22.8 VDC to 31.5 VDC
The electronic unit will calibrate automatically to
the applied voltage. This means that if the battery
voltage is less than 17 VDC, the electronic unit assumes that it is working in a 12 VDC System. If the
voltage is higher than 17 VDC, the electronic unit
assumes that it is working in a 24 VDC system.
Consequently, the compressor does not run at
power supply voltages between about 17 VDC and
the desired battery protection cutout voltage (22.8
VDC) for 24 VDC systems.
2. Protection Systems
The compressor protection system facilitates protection against compressor overload and start failure as well as destructive battery discharge. When
an overload protection is activated, the compressor enters a cycle in which it makes start attempts
at approximately 60 second intervals until successful start is achieved.
3. Overload Protections
The compressor overload and start protection cuts
off power to the compressor if the compressor
speed drops below approximately 1,900 rpm, or if
this motor speed is not reached during the start
sequence. Possible reasons for overload protection activating could be too high refrigeration system pressures during operation or lack of pressure equalizing at start.
The fan overload protection stops the compressor
and the fan if the fan current exceeds 0.5 A (average) or 1 A (peak).
2
An overheating of the electronic unit heat sink will
cause the compressor to stop. Restart will occur
automatically when a normal temperature has been
reached.
4. Voltage Protection
If a voltage outside the operating range is applied
to the electronic unit, the compressor does not start,
or it stops if the voltage limit is exceeded during
operation. The compressor will restart automatically approximately 1 minute after the supply voltage has reached the reset voltage within the range
in question.
5. Battery Protection
The electronic unit provides protection as follows:
