the socket for the electrical system must have a voltage between 10.5 V and 14.8V. Before connecting the car power inverter

, check whether the voltage supply provides sufficient power for operation. The power required for operation can be calculated as follows: Operating output of the load (W) Efficiency (η) Input voltage (V)

Current draw (A) = Example: 300 W

= 33.3 A The voltage supply should provide at least 33.3 A for a continuous load of 300 W. Note: 12 V sockets for the electrical system provide max. 10 A, therefore in this example, the car power inverter

must be con- nected directly to the car battery using the connecting clamps. This is the only way to ensure continu- ous output of 300 W. Attention! Never connect the car power inverter

to a 24 V electrical system. Otherwise the device will be damaged. The device must only be connected to a voltage supply with a nominal voltage of 12 V. z Install and secure The car power inverter

should be positioned on a flat, even surface. Make sure that there is at least 1 cm free space around the car power inverter

in the plastic base of the car power inverter

so that it can mounted securely in a vehicle. Using suitable screws, the car power inverter

can be securely mounted. When doing this make sure you maintain the space for air circulation as stated above. Due to vehicle-specific factors, it is not possible to include fit- tings which fit all situations. If you are unsure, contact your motor vehicle garage. z Operation in a vehicle If you are operating the car power inverter

in a vehicle, make sure that the installation does not impair your driving. You should therefore always lay the cable so that it does not touch any moving parts inside the vehicle and does not obstruct your vision. Note: The car power inverter

can also be operated with the engine switched off. But please note that the car power inverter

may possibly not work when you are starting up the engine. z Connecting to a voltage supply Attention! Before connecting the car power inverter

to a voltage supply, make sure that the On/Off switch

of the device is in the “0” (OFF) position. You can connect the car power inverter

to a 12V socket for the electrical system using the 12 V plug

or clamp the cables with

such that the eyelet is held in place. First connect the red clamp to the positive terminal of the car battery and then connect the black clamp to the negative terminal of the car battery. z Connecting and operating a load/ device Attention! Before connecting a load/device to the car power inverter

, make sure that the On/Off switch

the device is in the “0” (OFF) position. Make sure that the output of the connected load/connected device does not exceed the maximum continuous output of the car power inverter

Attention! Do not switch on the load/device to be operated yet!. Connect the plug of the load to be connected/device to be operated to the 230 V socket

of the car power inverter

Switch the car power inverter

to the “1” (ON) position. You will hear a short beep and the overload display

(red) lights up briefly. After that the operating LED

(green) lights up, if the car power inverter

is properly connected to a charged battery. Now switch on the load/ device to be operated. Note: If you hear a beep and the overload display

lights up red, the input voltage is too low, or output of the load/device con- nected to the car power inverter

is too high. z Instructions for operating devices General notes: Information about the power consumption in Ampere (A) or the power draw in Watt (W) is usually shown on the rating plate of devices. Before using the device, please make sure that the maxi- mum current draw is not higher than 1.30 A and the maximum continuous output is not more than 300 W. Loads with a high internal resistance can be operated very effectively using the car power inverter

, whereas loads with a low internal resistance, such as, for example, heating and cooking devices, generally have a power draw in Watt which is too high. Inductive loads such as, for example, televisions or stereo devices (devices with a coil or a transformer) often require a start-up current which is many times higher than resistive loads with the same given power draw in Watt. When switching on, televisions require a power draw which is many times higher than the value given on the rating plate. Instructions for operation 351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 22351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 22 13.11.20 16:2113.11.20 16:2123 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT Because of this you may need to switch the car power inverter

on and off several times, in order to be able to switch a television on. If you have any doubts, please contact the manufacturer of the connected device. z Signal if the battery voltage is low If the battery voltage sinks below 10.5 V, the car power inverter switches off

lights up red. A warning beep sounds. z Charge USB device Attention! Before connection, make sure that the current draw of the USB device is not higher than 1A. For more detailed information, please refer to the operating instructions for your USB device. Plug the USB plug of the USB device to the USB connection

of the car power inverter

and the USB connection

can be used at the same time. z Replacing the fuses Danger to life through electric shock! Before replacing the fuse, disconnect the car power inverter

from the power supply. Also remove any device connected to the car power inverter

Replace the fuse with one of equal value with the same cut-off char- acteristics (20 A), as given in the technical specifications. Instructions for operation 351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 23351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 23 13.11.20 16:2113.11.20 16:2124 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT Attention!

overloaded. Reduce the load until it no longer exceeds the maximum load given in the technical specifications. The input voltage is below 10.5 V. Keep the input voltage of the car power inverter over 10.5 V, in order to maintain an output voltage. Low output voltage The input voltage is below 12 V. Keep the input voltage of the car power inverter over 12 V, in order to maintain a constant output voltage. The signal for low battery voltage sounds repeatedly. The battery is defective. Replace the battery. Insufficient voltage supply or power supply. Check the condition of the socket for the electrical system and the 12 V motor vehicle cigarette lighter plug

is not completely warmed up due to low environmental temperatures (e.g. with temperatures below 10°C in the winter). Switch the car power inverter

on and back off, until the device connected to the car power inverter

is supplied with power. Repeat this procedure in order to be able to switch the device on. The ignition must be switched on in order for the socket for the car’s electrical system to have power. Switch the motor vehicle ignition on or move to the “1” (ON) position. The car power inverter

overloaded. Reduce the load until it no longer exceeds the maximum load given in the technical specifications. The car power inverter

has overheated. Wait until the device has cooled off. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation clearance. Make sure that the connected load does not continuously exceed the maximum loading, in order to avoid the device overheating again. 351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 26351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 26 13.11.20 16:2113.11.20 16:2127 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT Troubleshooting / Cleaning and maintenance Problem Possible cause Solution: The fuse in the device has blown. Replace the fuse, as described in the “Replacing the fuses” chapter. Make sure that the car power inverter

is connected to the power supply using the right polarity. Televisions: The car power inverter

is screened and outputs a modified sine wave. However if reception from television channels is extremely weak, this can lead to interfer- ence or picture distortion. In this case, position the car power inverter

as far from the television, aerial cable and aerial as possible. Align the car power inverter

, television, aerial cable and the to one another, until the reception improves. If possible, use a high-quality, screened aerial cable. Audio systems: Some audio/video systems emit a humming noise through the speaker when they are operated using the car power inverter

This is due to the fact that these devices cannot filter the modified sine wave of the car power inverter

and is not a defect of the car power inverter

z Cleaning and maintenance Attention: The device must not come into contact with water or be placed in water. There is a 351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 27351562_2007_Spannungswandler_content_LB8.indb 27 13.11.20 16:2113.11.20 16:2128 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT risk of injury due to electric shock if moisture enters the device.
