Original operating instructions

The appliance is designed for jumpstarting 12 V starter batteries (lead acid batteries) which have low battery capacity, as well as for direct or indi- rect connection to 12 V consumers with max. 15A power input at the cigarette lighter socket. Always observe the operating instructions for the connec- ted appliance. With the integrated 12 V automatic compressor, car, motorbike and bicycle tyres, sport balls, small water balls, small air mattresses or similar can be infl ated. The voltage transformer serves as a transformer of the 12 V D.C. from a starter battery into a 230 V / 50 Hz modifi ed A.C. Because of the minimal weight and the compact build, the appliance can be used in cars, motor homes etc. The output vol- tage is equivalent to the household voltage. Voltage transformers are ideal for operation of electrical appliances such as notebooks, game consoles, audio, video or TV appliances or for charging mobile telephone batteries or note- books. Please observe possible notes about limi- tations for connection to voltage transformers with modifi ed sine values in the operating instructions for the connecting appliance. The appliance is not designed for capacitive con- sumers, controllers and regulators. 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

(Fig. 1) Notice! Switch all switches to position “0”. By pressing this pushbutton (4) the LEDs (3) on the built-in battery are lit up to show the charging status (green=full / red=empty).

5.1 Charging the energy station with the pow-

1. Connect the power cable of the included po-

wer supply unit to the battery charging socket (6).

2. Plug the power supply unit into a 230V/50Hz

socket outlet. The LED will come on.

5.2 Charging the energy station with vehicle

adapter cables It is possible to charge the energy station with the vehicle cigarette lighter plug. Notice! The charging process should only take place during a journey, as the car battery will discharge. Never start the vehicle if the motor vehicle adapter cable is inserted into the cigarette lighter plug. Insert the 12 V plug of the motor vehicle adapter cable into the motor vehicle cigarette lighter plug and the other end into the charging socket “(6)” on the energy station.

Caution! Output 12 V through the cigarette lighter plug connection. 15 Amperes max.:

The 12 V output (Fig. 1 / Item 12) is designed to handle 15 A, i.e. there are max. 15 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 (2) for the jump-start cable must be in position “0”.

To switch the light on, proceed as follows: The light (Fig. 1 Item 7) is switched ON and OFF with the switch (Fig.1/Item 10).

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 Anl_A_ES_1700_1_SPK7.indb 19Anl_A_ES_1700_1_SPK7.indb 19 21.07.14 08:2121.07.14 08:21GB

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. 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

(Fig. 1) The LED (3) indicates the charge state of the built-in battery. By pushing the push button (4) the LEDs are lit from green to red. Red The battery is discharged. The battery can reach this state after jump starting a vehicle, for examp- le. 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 battery, it should be recharged at least once every 3 - 5 months, irrespective of the amount of usage.

Danger! Use an air pressure measuring device to measure the actual tyre pressure. Always ob- serve the operating instructions when infl ating the tyres.

1. Remove the valve cap from the valve.

2. Open the accessory storage compartment

and connect the spiral air hose to the com- pressor hose.

3. Screw the connecting part of the spiral air

hose to the car tyre valve.

10.2 Infl ation of air mattresses etc.

Warning! Because of the material composition of air mattresses, dinghys etc, no exact air pressure indication can be given. Therefore make sure not to infl ate these objects too far, as they could burst.

Choose the appropriate adapter and screw this onto the connecting part of the air hose.

10.3 Starting the compressor

Notice! Before starting the compressor, please read the “important notes” under point 1. After 10 minutes compressor runtime, a cooling off phase of 20 minutes is necessary.

Before switching on, test the pressure gauge (Fig.1 Item 9).

Caution! 11.1. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the appliance to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data of the 230 V consumer.

Always pull the power plug before making ad- justments to the 230 V consumer. Notes:

Observe the values from the provided output and peak output rating (startup rating). Appli- ances with higher power requirements must not be connected.

Please note that appliances with an electric motor (e.g. drills, etc.) need a significantly Anl_A_ES_1700_1_SPK7.indb 20Anl_A_ES_1700_1_SPK7.indb 20 21.07.14 08:2121.07.14 08:21GB

higher startup rating than indicated on the ra- ting plate. For this reason it may be necessary to switch the voltage transformer on and off several times. If the 230 V consumer still does not start up, it cannot be used because of the high startup rating.

Only one 230 V consumer is permitted to be connected to each socket.

The use of multi-sockets is not permitted. Features:

To switch ON, push the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Item 13) into position “ON” (I). The red LED lights up, the voltage transformer is switched on and ready for operation.

To switch OFF, push the ON/OFF switch into position OFF (0). The red LED goes out, the voltage transformer is switched off.

11.2.2 Switching off in case of error

Under the following circumstances the voltage transformer automatically switches off :

Input voltage is lower than 10-10.5 V

The appliance overheats. In these situations, switch OFF the appliance using the ON/OFF switch and remove the at- tached 230 V consumer. Check whether all of the ventilation openings on the voltage transformer are clear and switch the voltage transformer back on after about 10 minutes waiting time.

When carrying out cleaning or servicing, the energy station must be switched off and all connections must be removed from the appli- ance.

Use a soft dry cloth to clean the surface, and do not use any caustic solvents. If completely necessary, you can remove dirt with a slightly damp cloth.

Only let an authorised expert from a customer services workshop test the appliance if there are possible errors.
