Another BIP query

Here's a link to a phot of my BIP. (Hope it works as its a while since I used Dropbox) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u7x0j3rcgpv78...lKz7iqBYDa?dl=0

Can anyone tell me what the square yellow button does. There's no reference to it in the manual I have.

Thanks.

Is it an earth leakage test switch?

If you press it when the mains current is 'on' (switch up), does the switch flip down (off) and cut the current?

If so, it is a safety device that allows you to check that all is working correctly. The earlier models like my original BIP didn't have earth leakage detectors and that was rectified when I updated the system after BIP failure.

I can't find any details of the Scheiber BIP 30.65100.84 on the net. Strange.

PS I think the switch marked GZ N32 should normally be down (off) as (if it's what I think it is) it allows 12v appliances to run from the car battery when car are caravan are hitched. This feature is not normally needed on UK spec vans.

Thanks for that. I'll test it when I'm next hooked up, assuming it needs 230v.

As for the GZ N32 my manual describes it as ' a one pole circuit breaker for charger'. Although the BIP in the manual doesn't have the yellow button. When I'm next hooked up I'll check if flipping it stops the leisure battery charging.

I can confirm that the yellow button is indeed a safety device as it flips the switch down and cuts the current.

As for the GZ N32 you may well be right. It certainly doesn't isolate the leisure battery as I thought. The leisure battery continues to charge whether the switch is up or down. I've now set it to off and I'll see if that affects anything whilst towing.
