Caution!
Extremely high current flows are possi-
ble here that are even capable of hea-
ting thick cables red hot!
However these high currents are requi-
red for the starting of some devices. The
screw connections are therefore...
• not routed by way of a fuse and
• not by way of the main switch...
– voltage is present continuously! For
this reason it is imperative to ensure that
no short-circuit is created on the screw
terminals under any circumstances!
b) Devices with fixed cable
If the cable is permanently connected
with the device you can simply ...
• connect the “Positive“ core (usually
red) to the red screw terminal
• and the „Negative“ core (usually
black or blue) to the black screw
terminal.
To do so, turn the plastic cap on the
screw terminals loose, clamping the
bright cores below when retightening.
c) Devices with loose cable
If the cable is not permanently connec-
ted to the device but has a bright device
plug ...
• first insert the device plug in the jack
on the device before connecting the
cores to the screw terminals.
With this sequence you prevent short-
circuit hazards should the bright connec-
tor inadvertently come in contact with
metallically conductive objects during
the connecting work.
Fuses
If none of the two LEDs light up after
switching on, the 10 A fuse on the
energy station might have blown.
If an LED is illuminated after switching
on but no current is flowing via the ciga-
rette lighter cable regardless, the cable
fuse in the cigarette lighter connector
might have blown.
Caution!
First set the main switch to “OFF” and
pull all cables from the energy station
before changing any fuses.
In this way you will prevent that the
new fuse will burn in your fingers if the
fault persists
–
risk of injury!
Caution!
Fuses are important protective devices to
prevent damage. Never render them in-
effective but ...
• always replace fuses with fuses of the
same rating, never “higher” ratings.
• never bypass fuses, this could result in
fires.
a) Changing round fuse
• Unscrew the cap at the front of the
round fuse and fit a new “2 A slow-
acting” fuse.
