USING WITH SOLAR PANEL OR GENERATOR
USING WITH SOLAR PANELS
The power consumption and efficiency of
your fridge/freezer makes it ideal to be used
in conjunction with solar panels to provide
recharging of the DC power source. Solar
panels will provide charge into the battery
during the daylight hours even while the
appliance is operating.
As the output from solar panels changes
depending on the level of sunlight and intensity,
your fridge/freezer cannot be connected
directly to the solar panels. The appliance must
be connected to a suitable DC battery and then
the solar panels connected to the battery.
We recommend the use of the quality portable
solar panel kits from 80 to 200 watts for use
with your fridge/freezer. DO NOT connect the
fridge/freezer directly to the solar panel as it
will not work. Connection must be via the battery.
USING PORTABLE GENERATORS
It is important that the correct generator size
is used with your fridge/freezer. An incorrect
generator or voltage output may result in
reduced performance or damage to your fridge/
freezer which may void your appliance warranty.
If connecting directly to an AC generator, ensure
that only a digital or inverter type generator is
used. These provide a more reliable and
constant 240V AC output power source and are
specifically designed for use with electronic and
other power sensitive appliances.
Most generators are fitted with a DC power
output socket - DO NOT connect your fridge
directly to the DC power output of the generator
as this will result in damage to your fridge/
freezer and void warranty. Connection must be
via the battery.
When charging the battery using a digital or
inverter type generator, we recommend only
using a ‘smart battery charger’ that is fully
automatic, spark proof and reverse polarity
protected. The battery charger is connected
directly to the AC power output of the generator.
