6.4.4 12/24V DC power socket
The plug on your 12/24V DC power lead has a removable adaptor collar. With the
collar in place as shown in Figure 5, this plug will fit into a conventional vehicle
accessories power socket (cigarette lighter). With the adaptor collar removed as shown
in Figure 6, this plug will fit into an ARB 2 pole auxiliary power socket.
FIGURE 5. FIGURE 6.
ARB highly recommends that this 2 pole connection be used for all 12V DC and 24V
DC connections of a fridge freezer. This will provide a positive and secure connection
between your power source and your fridge freezer.
The following points should be considered when choosing a location for your fridge
freezer auxiliary power socket.
Position the power socket as close to the fridge freezer as is practical.
Position the power socket in a convenient location that will allow the user to easily
connect and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Position the power socket in a protected location away from dust and moisture.
Position the socket high in the vehicle to prevent it from becoming wet should the
vehicle ingest water.
NOTE – If the plug or adaptor collar is removed and the fridge freezer is hard wired
into a 12V or 24V DC circuit, a 10 Amp inline fuse must be included in the circuit.
