Operation

 

Periodically check the technical safety of the device, e.g. check for damage to 

the housing etc.

 

Always lay the cable so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in it. 

This poses a risk of injury.

1.  Connect the DC plug of the power pack with the DC jack on the low-voltage device.
2. 

The polarity cannot be altered. The plug has the fixed polarity „inside plus (+), outside 

minus (-)“.

3.  Make sure that the consumer is switched off when connected to the power pack.
4.  Plug the power pack into a standard domestic wall socket. Correct operation is signaled at 

the power pack by a LED.

5.  To remove the consumer, proceed in reverse sequence.

Troubleshooting

By purchasing the power pack you have acquired a product that has been designed to the state 

of the art and is operationally reliable. Problems and malfunctions can occur nevertheless. We 

would therefore like to show how you can rectify certain faults yourself:

Problem

Cause

Solution

The power indicator 

is not lit.

No mains voltage.

Check the circuit breaker of the power outlet.

Check the correct fit of the power outlet.

Power pack over-

loaded.

Remove the consumer and check the techni-

cal data.

Disposal

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on the 

EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed of as 

unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
Owners of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose 

of it separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators, 

which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from 

the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the 

WEEE in a non-destructive manner before it is handed over to a collection point.

Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged to provide free take-back 

of waste. Conrad provides the following return options 

free of charge

 (more details on our 

website):
• 

in our Conrad offices

•  at the Conrad collection points
•  at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set 

up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG

End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of. 
It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in 

countries outside of Germany.

 Operating Instructions

Power Pack (12 V / 1500 mA) 

Item No. 2264184

Intended use

The power pack serves as voltage supply for low-voltage devices with matching DC jacks. It 

is intended for connection to common household mains voltage (100 - 240 V/AC, 50/60 Hz). A 

galvanic separated DC voltage is applied to the output. The power consumption of the consum-

ing device many not exceed the nominal voltage of the respective power pack (depends on the 

type). The product has a protection against short circuit and overload.

This product fulfils European and national requirements related to electromagnetic compat

-

ibility (EMC). 

Unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety 

and approval reasons. Any usage other than described above is not permitted and can damage 

the product and lead to associated risks such as short-circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Please 

read the operating instructions thoroughly and keep them for further reference.

Explanation of symbols

  The symbol with the exclamation mark in the triangle is used to indicate important 

information in these operating instructions. Always read this information carefully.

  The arrow symbol indicates special information and advice on operation.

 

This symbol indicates that the product meets the energy efficiency requirements for 

Class VI.

Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety 

information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on 

proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting per-

sonal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/

guarantee.

•  The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
•  Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dan-

gerous playing material for children.

•  Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high 

humidity, moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.

•  Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
•  If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and 

protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed 

if the product:

 - is visibly damaged,
 - is no longer working properly,
 - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
 - has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

•  Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height 

can damage the product.

•  Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the 

appliance.

• 

Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician
