6.3 Connecting the cooler

Connecting to a battery (vehicle or boat) The cooler can be operated with 12 V g or 24 Vg.

For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent the polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against short-circuiting when connecting to a battery. ➤ Plug the 12/24 V connection cable (fig. 1 2, page 3) into the DC voltage socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V or 24 V socket. Connecting to a 100–240V AC mains (e.g. in the home or office)

The coolers have an integrated multi-voltage power supply with priority circuit for connecting to an AC voltage source of 100 – 240 V. The priority circuit automatically switches the cooler to mains operation, if the device is connected to a 100 – 240 V AC mains, even if the 12/24 V connection cable is still attached. When switching between the AC mains and the battery supply, the red LED may light up briefly. NOTICE! Danger of damage! Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery before you connect the battery to a quick charging device. Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device. 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 w, you must install a residual current circuit breaker between the 100 – 240 V AC mains and the cooler. Seek advice from a trained technician. DometicCF35-CF50_OPM4445101783_EMEA16_202x-xx-xx.book Seite 15 Freitag, 18. Dezember 2020 5:37 17EN Operation CF35, CF40, CF50

➤ 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 voltage 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.

In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and “MED” (see the following table). This is how to select the battery monitor mode: ➤ Switch on the cooler. ➤ Press the “SET” button (fig. 3 4, page 3) three times. ➤ Use the “UP +” (fig. 3 6, page 3) and “DOWN –” (fig. 3 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. 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. Battery monitor mode LOW MED HIGH Switch-off voltage at 12 V
