Zig Unit Help

[VWMAK]

Hi,

Trying to work out my Zig Unit, really unsure of what does what, relatively new to this.

Can anyone confirm what the switches are?

Slightly confused around how main battery charges leisure and which switch needs to be flicked. Also not 100% sure if my fridge works, or if something needs to be switched here.

My plug sockets seem to work (phone charging) when plugged into mains but not when just from the leisure battery - any reason - too much voltage?

Two on the far left seem to alternate between car battery and leisure battery when engine is off.

Any help would be great?

Thanks this is useful.

Obviously need to take this manual with me and work out the exact format. Not 100% sure how / if the fridge is working as haven't managed to get it to chill yet, but havent had the manual alongisde. But by the sounds of it I'd need to be connected to a power supply and the Mains On / Fridge switch to be flicked down.

Assume this means that I cannot chill the fridge without a mains supply? If anyone can confirm that would be great, is this the norm?

Can you post a picture of your fridge including the controls. That would help.

The unit was originally designed for a caravan and for charging the battery whilst the towing. The 12v switch panel must be in the caravan battery mode and the other switched on. The red light underneath should then light up. If you connect to the mains and switch on the mains switch does it light up ?

I'll check this and come back to you, and try take some pictures of the fridge.

Thanks appreciate it.

Further to the previous post, see below a picture of my fridge if anyone could help, even following the Zig unit instructions I couldn't work out how to make it work. Without checking the wiring etc. Also have the two fuse switches just below my back bench, not sure if these have any relation.

Any clues to the fridge?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same fridge, not with a zig unit though. Your fridge is set for 12v operation in the photo, it should get cold when 12v is on. If you rotate the knob so 240v is next to the mark then it should get cold when mains is supied to it.
To run on gas, turn gas supply on, turn the 12v/240v knob to middle position, turn gas knob to max, then press it in and hold in whilst repeatedly pressing ingnitor next to it until flame can be seen through little window at bottom left inside fridge. After a few seconds release knob and flame should stay alight and fridge will start to cool down.

Thanks Marlin Owner.

Yeah it doesnt get cold.

I tried it on both 12V and 240V neither seemed to get it cold. But tried various variations cant be sure I had them at the right times.

I was also slightly confused as to how the dial further right numbered 0-6 had relevance, assumed that was related to coldness of the fridge.

Do those fuse switches have anything to do with it?

[marlinowner]

The numbered dial sets the fridge thermostat as you thought, it is only used on 240V, on 12V it is just gets as cold as it can. I'm sure the fuses and switches have something to do with it, but I don't know what!

Don't know if its just my fridge but mine will only get cold if van is level, any kind of unevenness and it doesn't work
