energy station with compressor

power supply unit for charging

connecting cable with cigarette lighter plug

Original operations instruction

The equipment is suitable for the jump starting of 12 V starter batteries (lead acid batteries) with too little battery capacity and for the direct or indirect connection of 12 V consumers with max. 10A power consumption to the cigarette lighter socket. Be sure to observe the operating instructions of the equipment which you connect to the energy station. With the integrated 12 V car compressor you can infl ate car, motorcycle and bicycle tires as well as sports balls, small water balls, small air mattresses and other similar items. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or inju- ries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Charging the energy station

Notice! Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 1) to „OFF“.)

5.1 Charging the energy station with the

1. Plug the connecting cable of the supplied

power supply unit in the charging socket „RE- CHARGE“ (Figure 1 / Item 2) on the unit.

2. Plug the power supply unit into a mains so-

3. It takes around 24 hours to charge the energy

station. Pressing the pushbutton (Fig. 1/Item 4) displays the charge state of the built-in battery on the inte- grated voltage meter (Fig. 1/Item 5).

5.2 Charging the energy station with the

automobile adapter cable The energy station can be charged through the automobile’s cigarette lighter socket. Notice! You should only charge the energy station when en route, as otherwise the unit will run down the vehicle’s battery. Never start the vehicle as long as the automobile adapter cable is connected to the cigarette lighter socket. Insert the 12 volt plug of the automobile adap- ter cable into the automobile’s cigarette lighter socket and insert the other end of the cable into the charging jack of the energy station marked “(RECHARGE)”.

Caution! Output 12 V through the cigarette lighter plug connection. 10 Amperes max.:

The 12 V output (Fig. 1 / Item 12) is designed to handle 10 A, i.e. there are max. 10 A availa- ble to use.

Observe the power/electricity consumption values of the consumer, to prevent overloa- ding the energy station. If only the power data of the consumer is known, the maximum electricity value can be easily calculated. Example calculation: Consumer: 12V / 50W The electricity consumption is equal to: 50W / 12V = 4.17A

The cigarette lighter cable provided can be used to connect a suitable consumer. It is protected by a 10 A fuse.

In order to use the 12 V output, remove the protective cap and connect the consumer. Observe the voltage and electricity values of the appliances to be used, in order not to overload the energy station. Overload could lead to destruction of the appliance. The ON/OFF switch (1) for the jump-start cable must be in position “0”.

To switch the light on, proceed as follows: The light (Fig. 1 Item 6) is switched ON and OFF with the switch (Fig.1/Item 7).

The charging cable with pole clips are situa- ted on the side of the appliance.

If you do not need the charging cable, do not remove this from the appliance.

The energy station can only be used to jump-start partially discharged motor vehicle batteries. This means you can only convey a limited capacity into the motor vehicle battery.

The energy station is NOT designed to start completely discharged batteries! The terminals are insulated to prevent accidental short-circuiting when connecting the terminals to the vehicle’s battery and parts. Short-circuits must be avoided at all costs. The jump-start feature of the energy station off ers a welcome helping hand when having start-up diffi culties because of low battery capacity in the motor vehicle battery. We would like to point out that even standard vehicles are fi tted with a whole host of electronic equipment (such as ABS, ASR, injection pump, on-board computer and car phone). The raised starting voltage and occurrence of voltage peaks could possibly lead to defects in the electronic components when starting up. Subsequent dama- ge caused by jump-starting cannot be covered by the product liability insurance. Please also refer to the instructions in the owner’s manuals for the car, radio, navigation system, etc. Anl_A_ES_1000_1_SPK7.indb 16Anl_A_ES_1000_1_SPK7.indb 16 29.07.14 13:4829.07.14 13:48GB

Only if the energy station is at full capacity can it be used for jump-starting. Use of the energy station for jump-starting:

1. Connect the red cable (+) of the energy stati-

on with the POSITIVE pole (+) of the battery.

2. Connect the black lead (-) of the energy

station to the body of the vehicle, e.g. to the ground strap or another free position on the motor block, as far as possible away from the battery, to avoid possible ignition of built up explosive gas.

3. The switch (Fig.1 Item 2) must be in the “ON”

position when jump-starting.

5. Now you can try to start the motor with the

energy station connected. Make sure that the start attempt does not last more than 3 seconds, as a very high electric current fl ows, when starting a car.

6. First remove the pole clips on the ground

strap (negative pole)

7. Finally remove the jump-start cable from the

POSITIVE pole (+) of the car battery.

8. After this start attempt, the energy station

The voltage meter (Fig. 1/Item 5) keeps you con- stantly informed as to the charge status of the battery. Its indicator responds when you actuate the push- button (Fig. 1/Item 4). Green The battery is 50 - 100 % full. Yellow The battery is 0 - 50 % full and should be rechar- ged. Red The battery is completely run down. The battery can reach this state after jump starting a vehicle, for example. The battery must be recharged. Continuing to operate the unit from this point may damage the battery. In order to preserve the operating life of the batte- ry, it should be recharged at least once every 3 - 5 months, irrespective of the amount of usage.

10. Replacing the lamp

The lamp must be switched off . Proceed as follows to replace the lamp.

1. Using both hands, squeeze the lamp cover

(Fig. 1/Item 6) together slightly from the sides, then pull the cover off .

2. Turn the lamp socket anti-clockwise.

3. Replace the lamp with the same style of bulb

4. To install the new lamp, proceed in reverse

5. Snap the light cover (Fig. 1/Item 6) back on.
