Power To Your Conversion
So how do I plug in my van?
1. Firstly you can turn the lights and the water pump on (which is situated in the rear) by the two switches inside the loadspace. The interior lights are powered by the switch right next to the side door and the white switch next to the table powers the water pump. These are both 12v and run off your vehicle battery so will always work even when your not plugged in. It is important to turn these off in between grooms and your water pump switch is fitted with a buzzer to remind you to turn it off. After arriving at your destination turn both of these switches on and get your long cable that we supply, ready to plug your van in.
2. Simply take the long cable and walk to the rear drivers side of your van. There you will see a black square cover. Lift the black flap up on the van socket. Next find the blue plug end of your cable and lift up the blue flap on the plug. As you slide the plug over the inset socket the flap on the blue plug will slide in and clip onto an interior edge inside the socket to stop the plug from being pulled out. This connection is waterproof. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO UNCLIP THE FLAP BEFORE YOU PULL THE PLUG OUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN RISK DAMAGING THE CONNECTION AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. Now take the cable and walk to your customers electric supply. Plug in the 3 pin plug end into the socket and turn the socket on. This connection is not waterproof and needs to be kept inside.
Your van is now Live and Ready to Rock!
Important!
Don't forget to unplug the van and stow the cable away before you drive off as your customer wont appreciate you driving off with their house still attached to you!
No power in my Parlour/Van
First of all ensure the Main house supply is still on (The trip inside the house NOT inside the pod)
If the supply to the pod is live the next test is to open the Consumer unit (fusebox) and look for the RCBO. The below is a picture of a generic consumer unit with 4 RCBO's (black trip switches)
Depending on the spec of the pod/van some units will have more than others.
The main thing is to check all of the RCBO are in the up position. If all of them are in the up position press the "Test" button on each one. This will show there is power going down the circuit and confirms the supply to the fuse board is correct and that the issue is inside the parlour/van.
If the RCBO doesn't flick into the down position when the "test" button is pressed this means there is no power going to the parlour from the house, recheck house fuse board and the power lead connection to the Parlour.
One of the main issues seen is that the "Sockets" trip will keep on tripping or instantly trip as soon as it is reset. This can be caused by a faulty appliance being plugged in. To test this unplug ALL of the appliances which are plugged into the wall sockets inside the parlour/Van. This includes bath, table, blasters, chargers etc.
Once everything is unplugged reset the "sockets" trip and see how it behaves. If it stays in the up position this usually means a faulty appliance so plug in each appliance one and a time until it trips, this will show you which appliance is faulty.
If everything is unplugged and it still trips it could mean water ingress somewhere in the wiring or a Faulty socket/wiring issue and so an electrician should be called to verify (if still under warranty contact Wet Pets to agree what action needs to be taken)
