Dehler/Westy 240v-12v transformer? Black box identification.

Post by syncropatrick »

Can any electrical boffins take a look at the bottom two photos of this post

and comment on what the device may be? I've got a suggested identification and would like some confirmation.
TIA.
cheers
Patrick.

I still maintain it's a Westfalia LG20 battery charger unit.

Here are the original instructions and wiring diagram: http://www.westfaliat3.info/WestfaliaBa ... erLG20.pdf

According to the diagram there are 2 plugs, one for the 12v system (2 pins) and one for the 220/240v (3 pins).

12v went to the end of the original Westfalia loom, under the R&R bed. The 240v connections did at the other end of the box, connecting to the circuit breaker system and ultimately the external 240v socket.

Poshy, thank you. Now I've seen the manual I see that's exactly what this is.

Ooh, might be worth a bit then. How does one test if its functional? Wire up to mains and see with a multimeter what the 12v outputs are? What should be acceptable levels?
