240V IP67 COMPACT HOOKUP SOLUTIONS
We have a selection of hookups available to send power IN or power OUT of the van
The surface mounted connection is perfect if wanting to attached to a flat surface with the connection extruding straight out of the van
The angled connection is designed to facing downwards or sideways
Power IN | MALE pins to be exposed on the van surface
Power OUT | Female connection on the van surface with the MALE pins showing on the lead connection heading out to an external appliance within an awning
1. Fit small gland over 16/20A cable
2. Strip the ends to 5mm and crimp cable ferrule caps
3. Fit the large connector piece over the cable and screw gently to the gland
4. Wire in the connectors to the end of the supply lead and fit into the pins, screw together
5. Using the van connection, test fit
Caps are fitted over both the connections to meet IP67 standards
When fitting the van connection, ensure the polarity is in line with the van and connectors. For continuity use Pin 1 for live, 2 for neutral on both connections
A 20mm cable shroud must be fitted on the rear of the van connection if you are not surface mounting on an panel with internal wiring or fitting either under the rear bumper or in the grill (20mm SHROUD NOT SUPPLIED Pic 9). The units are SHORE connections designed to be fitted to a flat sealed surface
The caps will make the connection waterproof (IP67) but the gland will reduce any splash up or ingress of water when the van is being using in normal driving conditions
If you are fitting the angled housing with the power INLET or OUTLET, follow the same steps above but the small connector now attaches to the housing and will face downwards if fitting to the side of the van or forward facing if fitting under the bumper (ENSURE THE UNIT IS FULLY SEALED OR DRAINED OF ANY POTENTIAL WATER INGRESS)
To prevent the connector being opened unintentionally when used in electrical circuits containing hazardous life parts, the thread between the housing and the connector head must be secured using a suitable cyanoacrylate adhesive (Super Glue)
Connectors used in electrical circuits containing hazardous life parts must only be assembled and used by or under the supervision of persons with the requisite electro-technical training, taking the applicable regulations and standards into account.
The end user must take suitable safety measures to ensure that the connector cannot be disconnected accidentally.
To lock the cable connector, the threaded ring is tightened until it is ‘finger-tight’ (approx. 50 cNm)
