For connection to the 12V/24V on-board power supply of vehicles, please use this connection cable. Use the 12V/24V socket (cigarette lighter).
Diagram Description: Shows the 12V/24V DC connection cable with a cigarette lighter plug.
To Electrical Grid
Use this cable to connect the device to the 110V/230V electrical grid.
Diagram Description: Shows the AC power adapter with its cable.
3.2 Switch On
If the device is connected to the power supply, press the On/Off button (11) for at least 3 seconds to start the device.
For optimum cooling performance, use food which has already been cooled down. Ensure the lid is properly closed.
Diagram Description: Shows the device with the lid being closed.
3.3 Settings
Press the SET button (12) briefly to enter the different modes of the device. Then press the SET button (12) again to switch the desired mode.
- ECO: Energy Saving Mode
- MAX: Fast Cooling Mode
Diagram Description: Shows two display examples, one with 'MAX' and one with 'ECO' selected.
Please note: The factory setting for delivery is MAX.
3.4 Set Temperature
To set the temperature in the cooling zone, press the respective temperature controls +/- (10).
Diagram Description: Shows the display with temperature set to 5°C and a value of 13.5, with MAX/ECO indicator.
3.5 Using the Device Without Power
Please ensure an uninterrupted power supply during operation. The device is not designed for operation without power supply and can only keep its temperature to a limited time, depending on the outside temperature.
3.6 Using the Device in a Car (Battery Protection)
The device is equipped with a three-stage battery protection. To protect your battery, the device switches off when the battery voltage falls below the respective battery voltage.
- Use the High mode if you have connected the device to your starter battery.
- Use the Medium mode if you have connected the device to your starter battery and the conditions are good (e.g., no severe cold, no severe heat, no long periods of standing).
- Use the Low mode only when using separate supply batteries to ensure vehicle starting. If this mode is used when connected to the starter battery, it may not be possible to start the vehicle.
Adjustment (Battery Protection Modes)
Press the SET button (12) for at least 3 seconds until the currently set mode (H, M or L) flashes. Then press the SET button (12) again to switch the desired mode. The corresponding mode will be saved as soon as the letter stops blinking.
Diagram Description: Shows three display examples for modes H, M, and L.
Mode | Low | Medium | High |
---|---|---|---|
12 V | PV: 8.5 SV: 10.9 | PV: 10.1 SV: 11.4 | PV: 11.1 SV: 12.4 |
24 V | PV: 21.3 SV: 22.7 | PV: 22.3 SV: 23.7 | PV: 24.3 SV: 25.7 |
PV = Protection Value: Undervoltage protection; as soon as this voltage is reached, the device immediately switches off all consumers and cannot be switched on again.
SV = Startup Value: If this voltage is dropped below, the compressor will not start to cool down again. The control remains active until the voltage rises again and the device can operate normally, or the voltage drops below the Protection Value (protective shutdown).
