Power:
The refrigerator can be powered by a multi-voltage system utilising either 12/24
Volts or 240 Volts . The electronic module controls the compressor motor and has the
added function of a three stage battery protection . When the input voltage drops below
the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-
in value, the compressor will restart automatically .
•
Battery Protection:
The Secop compressor requires over 10 .4 Volts (12 Volt System)
or 23 .0 Volts (24V System) to operate . If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop
operating .
•
Cable Specification:
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length
(measured from the battery to the unit), according to this table:
