You can set the desired temperature using the control panel buttons (usually '+' and '-') or through the Totalcool app. The unit can cool down to -20°C and warm up to +20°C.

5.3 Dual Zone Functionality

The Totalfreeze features two separate compartments, allowing you to set different temperatures for each zone. This means you can have one side functioning as a fridge and the other as a freezer simultaneously. Refer to the internal divider for proper zone separation.

5.4 Battery Voltage Protection

To protect your vehicle's battery from excessive discharge, the Totalfreeze unit includes a battery protection system with three modes: Low, Medium, and High. These modes determine the cut-out voltage at which the unit will stop operating to prevent draining your battery.

Image: A table detailing the 24V battery voltage protection settings, showing the cut-out and cut-in voltages for Low, Medium, and High modes. This helps prevent over-discharge of the power source.

Select the appropriate mode based on your battery type and usage. You can typically adjust this setting via the control panel or the app.

5.5 Eco Mode

Activate Eco Mode for energy-efficient operation. In this mode, the compressor will run at a lower power setting, which can conserve battery life, especially useful for extended off-grid use. Cooling may be slightly slower in Eco Mode.

5.6 Lock Feature

The control panel features a lock function to prevent accidental changes to settings. Press and hold the lock button (or activate via the app) to engage or disengage the lock.
