• Electric appliances and accessories should be kept out of the reach of children!
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer's Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Materials are to be observed.
• In schools and training centres as well as at hobby and DIY workshops, the use of power packs must be supervised by adequately trained personnel in a responsible manner.

- For safety and licensing (CE) reasons, unauthorised conversion and/or modifications to the product are not permitted.

- Do not expose the device to high temperatures, dampness or strong vibration or excessive mechanical loads.

- Never touch the device or the plug with wet or moist hands. There is a risk of a fatal electric shock!

- Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed unless this can be done by hand.

- Before opening it, disconnect the device from all voltage sources.

- Capacitors in the device may still be charged even if the device has been disconnected from all voltage sources.

- Never switch the power unit on immediately after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment. Under adverse conditions, the resulting condensation could destroy the device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before switching on.

- The plug-in power unit generates heat during operation; ensure that it is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the ventilation apertures of the device!

- Do not leave mains power supplies and the connected consumers in operation unattended.

- Only fuses of the type stated and rated current specified may be used. The use of repaired fuses is not permitted under any circumstances.

- Avoid the use of bare metallic cables.

- In the case of series switching of the outputs of several power units, voltages (> 35 VDC) are generated which are dangerous if contacted.

- Power supply units are not designed for use on human beings or animals.

- The power unit is not a charger. To charge accumulators, use suitable chargers with a charging current cut-off.

- If you have reason to assume that safe operation is no longer possible, take the device out of operation immediately and secure it against inadvertent operation. It can be assumed that risk-free operation is no longer possible if

- the device shows visible signs of damage

- the device no longer functions and

- has been stored for longer periods under unfavourable conditions or

- has been subjected to considerable stress in transit.

- You should also observe the safety instructions in the individual sections or in the operating instructions of the connected devices.

Commissioning

Before commissioning, both the intended purpose of use and the safety instructions and technical data are to be observed!

Make sure before commissioning that the device of suitable for the purpose of use for which it is to be used.

Connecting the mains cable

• Connect the optional earth-protected contact mains cable to the mains connection jack (5) on the power unit. Make sure it is plugged properly.
• Connect the mains cable to an earth-protected mains socket with earth wire.
• Switch on the power unit on the operating switch (3). The switch lights up during operation.

Connecting a consumer

In selecting the connecting cables (cable), make sure that the cable cross-section is adequate (on account of the current load/cable losses) and that the insulation is intact.

The output voltage is, depending on the type and design, fixed to 12 V or 13.8 V or 24 V direct voltage (=DC).

The rated current has, depending on the design of the device, a maximum of 30A.

For a period of a maximum of 5 minutes, the power unit can be exposed to a slightly higher load (always observe the "Intended Purpose of Use"!).

• Make sure the consumer is switched off.
• Connect the plus pole (+) of the consumer to the red terminal screw jack "+" (1) and
• the minus pole (-) of the consumer to the black terminal jack "-" (1).
• 4-mm standard connectors could be used for this purpose but we strongly recommend the connection through 20 A using terminal screw connectors (the jack heads can be screwed on!).
• The power consumption of the connected consumers is shown on the current display (2).

Make sure that the consumers are switched off when connected to the power unit. Sparks may be generated when a consumer which has been switched on is connected to the jacks. This may damage the terminal screw connectors as well as the connected cables.

If the power units are no longer required, disconnect them from the mains.

In the case of a short, the mains devices must be disconnected from any load within a maximum of 5 minutes as they can be destroyed otherwise.

In case of longer operation with the rated load (output voltage times output current), the surface of the housing or the cooling element becomes very hot.

Caution! Danger of burning! Therefore, make sure that there is adequate ventilation of the power unit and never operate it partly or fully covered to avoid any damage.

Servicing and cleaning

The power units are maintenance-free apart from the need to replace the fuses and cleaning them once in a while. Use a clean, lint-free, antistatic and dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use any abrasive or chemical agents or detergents containing solvents.

Replacing the fuse

If it is no longer possible to switch on the power unit, the mains fuse is probably defective.

Proceed as follows to replace the mains fuse:

• switch off the power unit and remove all the connection and mains cables.
• Release the bayonet lock on the fuse holder at the rear with slight pressure in the direction of the arrow (a quarter revolution).
• Replace the defective fuse with a new fine-wire fuse (5 x 20 mm) of the same type and rated current. You can find the fuse data in the technical data.
• Insert the fuse holder and lock it in the reverse order.

Make sure that only fuses of the type stated and rated current specified are used as a replacement. The use of repaired fuses or the bridging the fuse holder is not permitted.

Troubleshooting

By purchasing the power unit, you have acquired a product that is reliable and operationally safe.

However, problems and malfunctions can occur.

For this reason we want to describe how to eliminate potential malfunctions:

Always observe the safety instructions!

Fault Possible cause
The power unit Does the green operating switch (3) on the does not work power unit light up?Check the mains voltage (you may also want to check the mains fuse in the device or the earth switch).
Connected Is the polarity correct?consumers: Is the power over unit overloaded (display 2)?do not function. Check the technical data of the consumers.

Check the technical safety of the device regularly for damage to the housing etc.

Any other repair work may only be carried out by specialists who are familiar with the hazards involved and with the relevant regulations. The warranty will lapse in the case of unauthorized modifications and repairs on or inside the device.

Disposal

If the product is no longer functional and can no longer be repaired, dispose of it in accordance with the relevant statutory regulations.
