Start Up and Operation
Please Notice! Inductive loads, which occur with e.G. refrigerators, fluorescent
tubes, compressors, and pumps, require more current than their rated power
to start up. Inductive loads may require 2 to 8 times their rated power for a
time which is longer than the short term overload (1000 W) of the power
converter. When overloaded, the power converter turns off. In this case, use a
power converter designed for a higher load.
Using Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord between the battery and the
power converter; use an extension cord between the power converter and the
connected consumer.
Grounding the Power Converter
PLEASE NOTICE: Before the power converter is turned on, it must be
grounded against the vehicle. The unit is only suitable for vehicles wired with
negative mass.
Above the on/off switch is the grounding connector (10), to which the housing
and the grounding connection of the protected 230 V socket are connected.
Connect one end of the included green yellow wire to the grounding connector
(10) and connect the clamp on the other end to a bare part of the vehicle’s
body, e.G. battery mass wire connection, engine block, etc.
Changing the Fuse
If
- the power consumption of the connected device is too high, or
- the connected device is defective and there is a possible short circuit,
the fuse in the unit or the fuse in the 12 V adaptor may be triggered. In this
case, remove the cover “Fuse” (4) in the unit and replace the defective fuse
with a fresh one of the same type and dimensions (flat fuse 35 A). Use a
suitable set of circlip pliers on the fuse.
