1. Press the SET button (
) to enter the ECO (economy) operating mode.
2. Press the SET button (
) again to return to MAX (maximum) mode.
3. The factory setting of the cooler is MAX mode.
5.3 Setting the battery monitor
The device is equipped with a three-stage battery monitor, which is intended to protect your vehicle battery from
deep discharge during 12-volt operation.
If the cooling unit is operated in the vehicle with the ignition switched off, the cooling unit switches off automatical-
ly as soon as the supply voltage drops below the set value.
1. Press the SET button (
) for 3 seconds.
2. The battery monitor level (L, M, H) set starts flashing in the display.
3. The battery monitor level can be changed by pressing the SET button (
) again.
4. The following settings are available for selection: L = 9 V / M = 11.5 V / H = 12 V
5. Select the desired level and wait until the flashing stops, the level is now set and is shown in the display.
NOTE: Note that the battery monitor function is always active during 12 volt operation and so the cooler may un-
expectedly stop cooling and only resume operation again once the DC supply voltage is above the set battery
monitor voltage.
Recommendations:
When using a TRAVELBOX or another battery generator as a power source, it is recommended to set the battery
monitor to "L" (Low) to ensure a long operating time.
If the compressor cooler is connected directly to the battery of a car or commercial vehicle, the battery protection
should be set to H3 (H) to ensure that the remaining battery capacity is sufficient to start the vehicle. The settings
H2 (M) and H1 (L) are only recommended in vehicles if the compressor cooler is operated via an auxiliary battery
in the car or commercial vehicle.
As a rule, the power supply via the normal 12 volt socket is interrupted in most vehicles as soon as the ignition is
switched off and thus the power supply to the cool box is also switched off. However, if it is possible to draw pow-
er from your vehicle even when the ignition is switched off, we also recommend setting the battery protection
monitor to H3 (H) for the reasons mentioned above.
Caution! Vehicles may have different output voltages, make sure that the output voltage and the input voltage
match.
If the display shows an error (F1), set the battery monitor correctly.
5.4 Tips for saving energy
•
Choose a well-ventilated location that is protected from sunlight.
•
Allow warm food to cool down before keeping it cool in the cooling unit.
•
Do not open the cooling unit more often than necessary.
•
Do not leave the refrigerator open longer than necessary.
•
Defrost the refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice has formed.
•
Avoid unnecessarily low internal temperatures.
5.5 Converting the lid stop
The lid can be opened lengthwise or crosswise by changing the stop over.
Proceed as follows:
•
Open the lid of the compressor cooler to change the stop side.
•
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two screws of the retaining chain.
•
Also remove both hinges from the lid and the container.
•
Fix both hinges in the new position in the lid and in the container.
•
Also fit the retaining chain to the two new fixing points.
•
Now the lid stop has been converted and the cooler is ready for use again.
•
Please use the picture below as a guide for disassembly and assembly.
