Electrical Preparation
WARNING
● Proper grounding is required for your safety, to prevent
electrical shock or fire. The refrigerator is provided with
the proper grounding for internal electric faults from the
factory. This grounding must not be removed or altered.
● Ensure that the converter or DC power supply is
grounded properly per manufacturers instruction. Per
RVIA the power supply is required to be isolated and
grounded with the Coach Chassis.
CAUTION
This refrigerator will accept voltage levels up to 17V DC
only. Anything other than this, including any AC power will
cause product damage and void the warranty.
● The refrigerator requires a power source that can
adequately provide 10.5 - 17V DC to function properly.
Furrion Recommends Power Center (FCVSWC42A or
FCVSWC54A) and Lithium Battery (FB12I10C) to match
with.
● The refrigerator should be dedicated to a single branch
circuit, and must be fused for 15A minimum.
NOTE: An internal 15A fuse is provided with the product.
This is only intended to protect the internal wiring of the
unit. It will not protect the power source and wiring to the
product and is not to be used as a substitute. The internal
fuse will however allow for a larger rated branch circuit.
NOTE: Sharing power with other devices on the same
branch circuit may cause transient surges and voltage
drops. These interferences may damage or limit
functionally of all devices on the branch circuit.
NOTE: When replacing an absorption refrigerator, the
power supplied is usually shared with other powered
features in the coach, such as overhead lights. A separate
dedicated branch circuit will be preferred to eliminate
flickering during compressor operation.
● The maximum input of the appliance is rated for 11A. All
wiring must follow RVIA and NEC standards based on the
input rating.
● Apply the following wiring guidelines to achieve maximum
performance out of the battery reserve.
