Connecting to a 100–240 V AC mains (E.g. in the home or office)

DANGER! Danger of electrocution!

• Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are standing on a wet surface.
• If you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains connection of 100–240 V\~, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the 100–240 V AC mains and the cooler.
  Seek advice from a trained technician.

The cooler has a built-in multi-voltage mains adapter with a priority circuit for connecting to a 100-240 V\~ supply. The priority circuit automatically switched to mains operation if the appliance is connected to a 100–240 V\~ supply, even if the 12/24 V cable is still connected.

When switching between the AC mains and the battery supply, the red LED may light up briefly.

▶ Plug the 100–240 V connection cable (fig. 1 3, page 3) into the AC voltage socket and connect it to the 100–240 V AC mains.

6.4 Using the battery monitor

The device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the device is connected to the on-board 12/24 V supply.

If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooler switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooler will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.

NOTICE! Danger of damage!

When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.

In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table).

Battery monitor mode LOW MED HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V	10.1 V	11.4 V	11.8 V
Restart voltage at 12 V	11.1 V	12.2 V	12.6 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V	21.5 V	24.1 V	24.6 V
Restart voltage at 24 V	23.0 V	25.3 V	26.2 V

This is how to select the battery monitor mode:

▶Switch on the cooler.
▶ Press the "SET" button (fig. 2 4, page 3) three times.
▶ Use the “UP +” (fig. 2 6, page 3) and “DOWN -” (fig. 2 7, page 3) buttons to select the battery monitor mode.
√The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The display flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.

NOTE

When the cooler is supplied by the starter battery, select the battery monitor mode "HIGH". If the cooler is connected to a supply battery, the battery monitor mode "LOW" will suffice.

If you wish to operate the cooler from the AC mains, set the battery monitor to the "LOW" position.
