THE SOLLATEK WIDE INPUT VOLTAGE STABILISER
SVS04E
Microprocessor controlled Stabiliser
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• Before using the SVS please read all instructions carefully.
• Keep these instructions for future reference.
Safety
• All equipment designed and manufactured by Sollatek (UK) Ltd complies with the latest safety codes of practice. You should still follow all safety instructions and use
caution when installing and operating electrical equipment.
• To avoid the risk of shock, DO NOT expose this equipment to rain, moisture or liquid spillage.
• Before attempting to use the SVS (Sollatek Voltage Stabiliser) ensure that the total loading of your equipment does not exceed the maximum rating of the SVS.
To check the rating of your SVS, refer to the label on the back of the unit.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the SVS, to do so will invalidate the guarantee. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Description
The SVS04E-22 is designed for usage with fridges, freezers, coolers and vending machines rated up to 4Amps. This unit can accept a very wide input voltage range to
allow for very low voltage in some countries.
As both high and low mains voltage can damage your electrical equipment, the Sollatek SVS is designed to monitor and correct the incoming supply continuously.
If the voltage rises or drops, the SVS will stabilise the output to ensure that the voltage reaching your equipment remains constant at 230V (±6%) , within the operating
range of the unit.
The Sollatek SVS has a modern state of the art LED display to indicate accurately the state of the input and the output voltage supplied to your load.
The Sollatek SVS is unique in having a built-in Sollatek AVS™ (Automatic Voltage Switcher). This adds the following protective functions;
a) Provides a start-up delay which prevents rapid switching ON and OFF of the appliance in serious fluctuations. This is especially important for loads that use
compressors (e.g. Fridges, Freezers, Coolers, Air conditioners) and vital for sensitive electronic equipment like computers, photocopiers, fax machines, lab equipment,
medical instruments etc.
b) Provides a shutdown and disconnect function whereby it will disconnect switch off your equipment in cases where the fluctuations are extremely BAD and the SVS
can not safely correct the voltage.
c) The Sollatek SVS has a built-in microprocessor which adds the advanced feature TimeSave™. TimeSave™ means that when the mains return to normal from a
brown-out, the SVS checks the duration of the OFF time.
The SVS also protects your electrical equipment against power spikes and surges. By using the SVS you will ensure a stable, and clean voltage supply to your equipment.
Unpacking & Inspection
After removing the protective packaging from the SVS unit, inspect the ventilation slots to ensure that they are free from
all obstruction. Use a vacuum cleaner to dislodge any obstructions.
Retain the box and packaging material to return the SVS unit in the unlikely event of its operational failure.
Installation
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. Ensure the rating of the load doesn’t exceed the capacity of the SVS.
If in doubt consult your electrician.
If your mains outlet only has a 2-pin socket, consult a qualified electrician. If you are unfamiliar with installing electrical equipment consult a qualified electrician.
• Although the unit does not produce excessive heat, ensure that it is positioned so that a free flow of air allows the unit to cool.
• Do not install inside a closed cupboard and do not allow papers or other materials to be piled on top.
• Position the unit on a hard surface.
Operating Sequence
1.
On first turning the unit on:
a. if it has been switched off for more than 6 minutes, the SVS04E will power up
in 10 seconds.
b. If the unit has been switched off for less than 6 minutes, the SVS04E will wait
for 6 minutes before powering up. This allows proper protection of the fridge/
compressor and any load connect to it and prevents frequent switching on
and off.
c. Some models are configured with shorter Time Delay. Refer to model
specifications.
2.
While the unit is waiting to power on, the LED display will show the input
Voltage level. By pressing the Toggle switch, the display will show the output
voltage which should be 000
3.
As the unit is powered, the display (if still on Output mode) will show the output
voltage from the SVS04E.
4.
The SVS04E has a very wide input voltage range. Refer to the table below. This
will illustrate the expected output voltage at a particular input voltage.
5.
If the input voltage is either below 95V or above 290V, the SVS04E – using its
inbuilt AVS™ will disconnect the voltage to the output and protects your load.
The display will show the corresponding input voltage level and 000 for the
output.
6.
Power will be automatically re-instated (after the start up delay – see point 1 above) once the input voltage comes within operating range (>100V and lower than
<290V)

instructions
Please follow the procedure below to connect your SVS;
1 Turn your equipment OFF and unplug it from the wall socket.
2 Ensure that the switch on the SVS is OFF.
3 Plug the SVS into the wall socket or input and plug your
equipment into the SVS.
4 Turn the power ON at the wall socket.
5 Turn the SVS switch ON.
6 Turn your equipment ON.
7 The SVS model has a built-in AVS (Sollatek Automatic Voltage
Switcher). This will ensure that that the load is not connected
immediately. The delay will ensure that the mains is good
before connecting the load and protects the equipment from
rapid switching on and off.
8 Once the wait period (see specifications) has passed, the SVS
will relay power to your equipment.
9 The display give you a visual indication of the input and
output voltage.
10 Any variation to the input power supply, up or down,
will be monitored and adjusted by the SVS.
