Start up and Operation
Using Extension Cords
We strongly advise against adding an extension cord between the supplying
battery and the inverter; instead we advise to add the extension cord between
the inverter and the connected advice.
Earthing the Inverter
PLEASE NOTICE: Before use the inverter must be earthed against the
supplying vehicle. Please notice that the unit is only suitable for use in vehicles
which are wired with minus against earth.
A connector (4) is located next to the ventilation slots (3) on the rear plate of
the inverter. This connector is connected to the metal housing as well as to
earth conductor clamp of the 230 V socket.
It is advisable to use a green and yellow wire to avoid confusion, which might
invite accidents.
Simply connect an earthing cable to any part of the metal body of your car.
Changing the Fuse
If
- the power consumption of the connected device is too high, or
- the connected device is defective which leads to a short circuit,
it may occur that the fuse blows. In this case remove the cover labelled
“Fuse” (2) and replace the blown fuse with one of the same type and dimen-
sions (Fuse 40 A). Use suitable pliers to pull the fuse.
Maintaining, Cleaning and Storing
Regularly clean the cooling fins with a suitable tool. We recommend the
cleaning and detailing sticks Art. No. 51 97 93.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean and protected against corrosion.
This will provide a reliable connection.
Do not clean the housing of the power inverter with abrasives or aggressive
chemicals in order not to damage the surfaces.
Store the power inverter indoors in a dry place that is protected from dust,
dirt and extreme temperatures.
Store the unit out of reach of children and persons in need of supervision.
