Not so easy to install
1 of 1 found this helpful I am reasonably intelligent and handy but it took me several days to work out the details of installing this! It is actually very simple - holes need to be made in the base under the cassette so an air extraction pipe can be fitted, the fan and filter need to be fitted to the compartment door, and a micro-switch needs to sense when the slide plate is open. I am lucky enough to have a compact Festool drill with adapters that can allow it to be configured in U-shapes, which allowed fairly easy access to drill the required holes, using assorted hole-saws. In other words, with the drill facing into the compartment, it could drill holes outwards. Not sure how a conventional electric drill could be used to achieve this. Although the manual is precise in how big the holes should be, it does not matter that much - just as long as the hose can pass through. The small fan is powered by 12-volts and I guessed correctly that the two wires into the Thetford could be tapped for this. My biggest problem was finding where to fit the micro-switch - the manual confuses sliding with rotating. I did lots of other work between peering at the Thetford mechanism. In the end there is only one place to fit the switch that made sense. I am pleased that the Thetford was unused at the time. The kit is of German quality - ie very good - and my motorhome is free of any chemical smells. But no solids have gone into the Thetford so cannot vouch for its real effectiveness.

Third world quality - designed to fail
0 of 1 found this helpful The bar is finished in dimpled paint which makes it hard to see all the imperfections, but significant indentations from the bending process are clearly visible. The main retaining brackets (which take all the sway forces) are a bent steel joke, and the feet are not even parallel. The mounting holes are elongated as delivered and leave very little metal to take the cyclic bending forces they have to transmit. No wonder there are many reports of them breaking after a little use. The sort of quality one might expect from a craft display at a village forge in India. Have not attempted to fit it to my precision engineered Mercedes Sprinter … and probably won't until I can find an engineered mounting solution.

Remote monitoring of DC parameters
I am using this principally to monitor the current flows on house batteries in a motorhome. The head unit is mounted on the dashboard and communicates wirelessly with the sensor unit which is about 3-m away. At this distance the wireless transmission drops out from time to time, but not enough to force me to go to the trouble of hardwiring the two together. The instructions are very poor unless you are familiar with the use of shunts to measure current. I would like to add a second sensor unit but cannot find a way of just purchasing another sensor. This is a very sophisticated device at a very low price with lots of functionality - good luck following the instructions!
