6.4.4 Connecting to 100-240V AC
Your ARB Fridge Freezer can be operated on an AC voltage of 100 – 240V. The fridge
freezer has a priority circuit which gives priority to mains AC power over DC power. If
the fridge freezer is connected to both AC and DC power, the unit will run on the AC
supply.
NOTE: The red LED may light up briefly when the supply voltage is swi ched
between AC and DC.
t
To connect your fridge freezer to 100 – 240 V AC supply:
Plug the 100-240 V power lead into the AC power socket on the back panel of
the fridge freezer as shown in Figure 9.
Connect the free end of the power lead to a 100 – 240 V AC supply.

CAUTION - Never handle the plugs, leads or switches with wet hands or
while standing on a wet surface.
CAUTION - If you are operating your fridge freezer from a 100-240 V AC
supply, a residual current circuit breaker must be installed in the circuit. ARB
advises seeking advice from a trained technician.
6.4.5 Connecting to an engine driven generator
Please take note of the following points before connecting your ARB Fridge Freezer to
an engine driven generator.
The generator must be fitted with an automatic voltage regulator. It must supply
a standard, pure sine wave AC voltage, without fluctuation in voltage or
frequency (eg 120 VAC~60Hz or 240 VAC~50Hz).
When using the DC output from your generator, a battery of correct voltage (12
or 24V) must be connected between the generator and the fridge freezer.
The fridge freezer should be turned off when starting and stopping your
generator.
CAUTION – Some engine driven generators are not suitable for powering
your fridge freezer.
