230-volt socket with earthing contact
230-volt socket with earthing contact can be located under a cover at the side of the driver seat→ Fig. 2.
The socket is activated automatically as soon as a plug is connected when the engine is running. If there is sufficient
energy in the system, the socket can also be used when the engine is off → Temperature switch-off.
Connecting electrical equipment
1. To unlock the integrated childproof lock, open the cover and push the plug all the way into the socket.
Electricity will not flow until the child socket protection has been unlocked.
LED display on the socket→ Fig. 2:
Constant green light
The child lock is disengaged. The socket is ready for use.
Flashing red light
There is a malfunction such as a shutoff due to excess current or temperature.
Temperature switch-off
The inverter in the 230-volt socket with earthing contact will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a
specific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the power
consumption is too high or if the ambient temperature is too high. The 230-volt socket with earthing contact cannot
be used again until after the cool-down phase.
Before using the 230-volt socket again after the cool-down phase, first remove the plug of the connected equipment
and then reinsert it. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched on accidentally.
DANGER
High voltage in the electrical system!
● Do not spill any liquids over the socket.
● Do not plug any adapters or extension cables into the 230-volt socket with earthing contact. Otherwise the built-
in child lock will disengage and power will be supplied to the socket.
● Never insert any items made of conducting materials, e.g. knitting needles, into the contacts of the 230-volt
socket with earthing contact.
NOTICE
Observe the operating instructions of the connected electrical devices!
● 12-volt socket:
