Setup

  1. Compatibility Check: Ensure your air compressor is the AUTDER AD380 model, as this plug is designed exclusively for it.
  2. Vehicle Power Source: Locate the 12V DC cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in an accessory or on position to provide power to the socket.
  3. Connect to Vehicle: Insert the cigarette lighter plug end firmly into your vehicle's 12V DC socket.
  4. Connect to Compressor: Connect the DC output connector (the smaller plug) of the cable to the corresponding input port on your AUTDER AD380 air compressor.
  5. Secure Connection: Ensure both connections are secure to prevent power interruptions.

Operating Instructions

Once the AUTDER AD380 Cigarette Lighter Plug is correctly set up and connected to both your vehicle's 12V DC socket and the AD380 air compressor, the compressor is ready for operation according to its own user manual.

  • Power Supply: The plug provides a stable 12V DC power supply to the air compressor.
  • Cable Management: The 3-meter cable allows for flexible positioning of the air compressor around your vehicle. Ensure the cable is not kinked or placed in a position where it could be damaged or cause a tripping hazard.
  • Overload Protection: The integrated fuse in the cigarette lighter plug protects against current overloads. If the fuse blows, the plug will cease to function. Refer to the Maintenance section for fuse replacement.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your cigarette lighter plug.

  • Cleaning: Keep the plug and cable clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
  • Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the entire length of the cable for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Do not use the cable if it is damaged.
  • Connector Inspection: Check the metal contacts of both the cigarette lighter plug and the DC output connector for corrosion or bending. Clean contacts if necessary.
  • Fuse Replacement: The cigarette lighter plug contains an integrated fuse for overload protection. If the plug stops working, the fuse may have blown. To replace the fuse:
    1. Unplug the accessory from the vehicle's socket.
    2. Unscrew the tip of the cigarette lighter plug.
    3. Carefully remove the old fuse.
    4. Insert a new fuse of the correct amperage (e.g., 10A, as specified in product specifications). Using a fuse with a higher amperage can damage the device or vehicle.
    5. Screw the tip back on securely.
  • Storage: When not in use, coil the cable neatly and store the plug in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
