Have just been given one of these - found lying in the back of the shed at the yard. It’s cleaned up nicely, and seems to work - however, it is missing the turntable (probably still in the shed somewhere), but I think I can get round that if I can’t find the original. However, talking to our fitter, he said that it needs some unit on the back of the alternator so it can only be used when the engine is running, but he didn’t know exactly what it was. I’m assuming that it’s just a high power relay, triggered from the D+ terminal of the alternator, so it’s only energised when the alternator is pumping out current (Same as a split charge relay in a car / caravan). Does this sound about right?

Don’t know about the electrics but you may be able to get a turntable from e-spares.co.uk

personally, i would only use it with the engine running anyway, i had an Agor microwave in one truck, and Samsung Roadmate in another 2, they all worked the same, just plug it in to 24v and use it

but, don’t do the ■■■ lighter :wink:

it will need heavy duty wiring for it, it pulls (IIRC)31 amps, wire it direct to the batteries or the main input in to the fuse board

if you are fitting it in to a DAF XF SSC, the wiring is already there in the centre locker
