Read these instructions before connecting and using the switch-mode rectifiers. Failure in
observing this warning may result in injury to persons and damage to equipment.
General safety and installation information
Warning!
The following fundamental
safety measures must be observed
when using electrical equipment to
avoid the danger of:
- electric shocks
- fire
- injury.
About the unit itself
- Do not connect the output voltage to other
power sources.
- The switch-mode rectifiers may only be used
for the purpose specified by the manufacturer!
- When working on the switch-mode rectifiers
always disconnect it from the mains!
- A release of the protective device means that
danger is still given from parts, which remain
under voltage during repairing works!
- Do not operate the switch-mode rectifiers,
if housing or cables are damaged!
- Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight
in order to avoid additional heating.
- The switch-mode rectifiers must be positioned
and fixed in such a way that it cannot fall over
or fall down!
- The switch-mode rectifiers must be kept
in a safe place out of the reach of children!
- The switch-mode rectifiers may not be
operated in a damp or wet environment!
- Air intake and outlets may not be blocked.
- Ensure good ventilation!
Caution by installation on boats!
- Wrong installation of electrical units on a boat
may lead to corrosion of the boat. Therefore,
please let a (boat-) electrician carry out the
installation of the inverter.
About the cables
- If cables have to be inserted through metal
walls or other sharp-edged materials, use a
cable duct or cable bushes!
- Do not lay cables loose or in sharp bends on
electrically conductive materials (metal)!
- Do not pull the cables!
- Do not lay 230 V AC mains cable and 12/24 V
DC cable together in the same cable duct!
- The specified minimum cable cross-section
must be complied with!
- Fix cables properly!
- Lay cables in such a way that no one can trip
over them!
- Lay cables in such a way that they are not
exposed to the risk of damage!
Use of switch-mode rectifiers
The switch-mode rectifiers can be used in all places where a 12 V DC cigarette lighter socket
(for item 720-012PP) resp. a 24 V DC connection (for item 720-024PP) is available. Maximum
continuous performance of the switch-mode rectifiers 720-012PP and 720-024PP –
150 watts
.
Units that need a higher performance rate may not be connected.
Remark!
Please consider that in case of connection of electrically driven units (e.g. drilling machine,
refrigerator, etc.) for operation start a higher performance is needed as indicated on the type plate.
