The AVS is an Automatic Voltage Switcher rated at 13 Amps
(AVS13) or 15Amps (AVS15). The AVS will switch off the equipment
connected to it if the mains power goes outside preset acceptable
limits and will re-connect -automatically* - when the mains power
returns to normal. re-connection takes place after a delay to ensure
stability of the mains.
This new version of the AVS has a built-in micro-processor that has
added advanced features to the product. These include;
* unless set to MANUAL on the Time delay Dial
2) time delay dial
By adjusting the dial, you can set the start-up delay (after first connecting and after re-connection
in case of over or under-voltage) from 15 Seconds to 3 minutes (AVS13) or 1.5 minute to 5 minutes
(AVS15). Alternatively you can pre-set to mAnUAL. mAnUAL indicates that the AVS will not connect
your load until you press the LoAd on/oFF switch.
Tip: Use mAnUAL setting if you do not want equipment to automatically re-start for example if you
do not wish the Air-conditioner to re-connect automatically after a power cut.
3) load on/oFF Switch
Using this button, you can switch your equipment on or off. if the switch is in the off position
(Light bulb off), press the switch to turn the equipment on. PLEASE noTE ThAT ThE EQUiPmEnT

SpeciFicationS
1) Five voltage indicators
The power supply is good and the load is connected
The AVS has detected that the mains voltage is too high
and therefore dangerous to your equipment. The AVS
has disconnected the power supply .
Power supply has returned to normal (after an over-
voltage condition - see above). The AVS is waiting before
the power supply is restored to your equipment.
Power supply has returned to normal (after an under-
voltage condition - see below). The AVS is waiting before
the power supply is restored to your equipment.
The AVS has detected low voltage condition and has
disconnected the power to your equipment to protect
against it.
Hi
Lo
operation:
1.
make sure that your load does not exceed the rating of the AVS.
2
. The limits of the AVS are pre-set at the factory (i.e. The AVS13 is 185-260 volts).
if different limits are required, please refer to your dealer.
3
. The AVS15 is supplied with a lead only. connect a suitable plug and fuse to the lead, and plug in
to the mains.
4
. Plug your appliance into the AVS.
5
. The LEds on the front indicate the state of the AVS (see facing page for full details).
6
. it is recommended that the AVS is kept switched on, and the appliance switched on and off to
prevent activating the time delay every time the appliance is switched on.
7
. The plug connected to the AVS13 is fused at 13Amps. if the unit stops working and no LEds are
lit on the front of the unit check that the fuse is intact. if not, replace with a 13Amp hBc fuse.
The AVS15E has a 18amp circuit breaker located on the side of the unit. Press to reset.
Caution
: Before replacing fuse or resetting the circuit breaker, ensure that the load does not exceed
the recommended rating of the AVS.
