Autosleeper/Relay

Post by kentishvanman »

Hi,
Could fellow Autosleeper users, might apply to other conversions as well, tell me what type of relay they have that controls the fridge 12v supply. It is up behind the 'control panel' over the sink.
Mine is a 30amp, 5 blade, change over type.which may or may not be original.
I would have thought an ordinary 4 blade on/off relay would be what is required.
Thanks.

The standard relay for the Autosleeper, mine is fitted with a Zig CF9, is the 4 pin RM 14. The pin configeration is 85 and 86 go to the relay and 30 and 87 go to the normally open contacts. A standard 5 pin 30amp relay can be used just as well, the connections being the same. The fifth pin 87a is a normally closed contact which is not used.

Thanks for that. I thought that might be the case but just wanted to check.

Hi Kev,

Life is full of problems, especially if you are the owner of a 23 year old T25.
Thanks for asking.
The relay question is/was part of my Radio/Battery/Starting (non) thread and has been answered by 'elsid'
Hopefully this has now been sorted.
I will update the subject in the next couple of days so that others may hopefully gain by my hours of searching,proding,poking,testing,cursing etc. etc.
