Sorry I'm a bit thick. I never know if the switches should be up or down on the control panel.
have a zig cf9 split charger. Ford freda v6 2.6 petrol automatic.
has anyone any pictures of what the panel should look like when 1. Touring 2. On site. And am I right in thinking should always run from the leisure battery not car battery? Thanks and sorry for the inane question. Brian .

Re: Zig cf9 control panel
When switched to car that is usually for running the fridge when travelling
Think you can charge the caravan battery with this as well I think you have to switch the other switch and it will charge caravan battery when traveling aswell
Manual is here

Great thank you
Re: Zig cf9 control panel
Leave the "car" mode well alone. No need to use it with a camper. You'll just invite the problem of a flat starter(car) battery.
When driving you can select "towing" and then the cars' alternator will charge the leisure battery, which your fridge will be running off, because you have the switch on "van"
No need to use the car mode, ever.
Though - DO remember to switch off "towing" when you are not driving, because this switch simply links the starter and leisure battery - so you will be draining BOTH batteries when parked up without teh engine running.
