POWER REQUIREMENTS
The fridge/freezer is designed to operate on AC or
DC voltage.
+ AC input 240V AC at 50Hz (e.g. electrical
power point).
+ DC input 12V or 24V DC (e.g. car cigarette
lighter or car battery).
+ The power supply automatically switches the
fridge/freezer to mains operation when connected
to 240V mains power, even if the 12V/24V DC
power cord is connected.
+ If the fridge/freeze is operating when the vehicle
ignition is switched OFF, the fridge/freezer will
switch OFF automatically when the power source
voltage falls below the Battery Protection cut-out
setting.
+ The fridge/freezer will automatically switch back
ON when the vehicle is re-started and the power
source voltage reaches the Battery Protection
cut-in setting.
OPERATING YOUR FRIDGE/
FREEZER WITH 12/24V DC
+ Plug the 12V/24V DC power cord into the DC
power socket (as highlighted over page) on the
end of the fridge/freezer and then connect to the
vehicle cigarette lighter socket or suitable 12V or
24V DC power source.
+ The fridge/freezer will automatically turn on,
there is no requirement to switch the appliance
on.
+ The display will automatically show the current
internal cabinet temperature.
+ For optimum performance and efficiency, it is
important that the fridge/freezer has a reliable
DC power source available. Direct connection to
the battery is recommended and reduces the risk
of voltage dropping to the appliance.
+ Use only the 1.5m DC power cord supplied with
the fridge/freezer.
IMPORTANT: If a DC extension cord is required we
recommended use of a 6mm dia. (AWG11) 4.58mm2
Twin Sheath Two Core cord with direct connection to
the positive and negative battery terminals with 15A
inline fuse protection.
+ The fridge/freezer is equipped with an electronic
control system that will prevent polarity reversal.
In the event that the battery connection is
reversed the unit will not start or operate. The
power input socket is fitted with a 15A blade fuse
for protection.
12/24V DC POWER
REQUIREMENTS
If your fridge/freezer is cutting out prematurely, it
could be due to:
1.
The low voltage protection being set too
high on the Battery Protection.
2.
DC power cord and/or connections are
not suitable to carry the required current.
Check the power cord and all connections
and adjust the Battery Protection on the
control panel.
+ The fridge/freezer is equipped with a multi-level
Battery Protection that protects your vehicle
battery against excessive discharging when the
fridge/freezer is connected to 12V or 24V DC
power source.
IMPORTANT: When using the fridge/freezer with DC
power supply, we recommended setting the Battery
Protection to LOW.
NOTE: A battery charger may only be connected
to the battery when the fridge/freezer has been
disconnected from the DC power source.
+ Over-voltage may cause damage to the
electronics of the fridge/freezer.
+ Your fridge/freezer is equipped with reverse
polarity protection. It protects your fridge/
freezer against reverse battery connection and
short circuit.
+ As a protection for your battery, the fridge/
freezer switches OFF automatically if the power
source voltage is insufficient.
NOTE: It is important that the correct cord size and
gauge is used for the installation of the DC supply
as over distance the voltage can decrease if the
incorrect cord size and gauge cord is being used.
+ Always consult a qualified automotive electrician
when using a DC extension cord.
