Product Description

The universal voltage converter VP 230/110V is designed to reduce AC-230V voltage to AC-110V or increase AC-110V voltage to AC-230V. It is particularly useful for powering equipment originating from the USA or Japan.

Key Features:

• Innovative components, including a toroidal transformer, ensure very high operating efficiency.
• Durable metal casing with a convenient handle, resistant to mechanical damage.
• Grounded input and output guarantee user safety.

Devices Powered by VP 230/110V:

• Chargers
• Shavers
• Players
• Home appliances, e.g., KitchenAid Artisan food processors
• Power tools, e.g., saws, drills, grinders, screwdrivers

Rear Casing Features:

• Input voltage switch: 110V / 230V
• 2 fuses: 110V and 230V

Front Casing Features:

• On/Off device switch
• 1-2 or 4 outputs (depending on the model) for connecting devices to the converter

Diagram Description (VP 500, 1000, 2000):

Front View: Shows power indicator lights, an ON/OFF power switch, and output sockets. Also includes a circuit breaker reset button and input voltage selection (110V/220V).

Rear View: Shows the power input socket and a fuse reset button.

Diagram Description (VP 3000, 5000):

Front View: Features power indicator lights, input voltage switches (110V and 220V), and output sockets. Includes a soft start function indicator.

Rear View: Displays a fan, input voltage setting switch, fuse reset buttons, and input power connection terminals (L, N, PE).

Converter Operation

After correctly connecting the converter to the power supply and the load, select the appropriate input voltage using the switch on the casing. Turn on connected devices one by one to gradually load the converter. If a fuse blows, identify the cause, resolve the issue, reset the fuse, and restart the converter and connected devices.

Element Placement Information

The placement and quantity of elements such as sockets and connection strips on the converter casings may differ from the illustrative graphics in the manual.

Safety Precautions

This manual is an integral part of the device. Keep it in an easily accessible place and read its content before the first use. The manual may be subject to change; the current version is always available on the manufacturer's website (www.voltpolska.pl).

• Do not expose the converter to rain, snow, dust, chemicals, oils, etc.
• Connecting the converter's output to an existing electrical installation is prohibited.
• Do not cover ventilation openings. The converter should be installed in an easily accessible location with at least 30 cm of free space around the casing to ensure proper airflow. Failure to do so may lead to overheating. Minimum airflow requirement is 145 CFM.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, ensure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wires have appropriate parameters (cross-section, length, etc.). Do not operate the converter with damaged or non-compliant wiring.
• The device contains components that can cause sparking. To prevent fire and/or explosion, do not install the device in areas containing flammable materials or where equipment that cannot come into contact with fire is located. This includes areas where gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, connectors, or other fuel system connections are stored.
• Do not open or remove the converter casing. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempting repairs may lead to electric shock or fire. Capacitors inside the device remain charged after disconnecting the power.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect both the input and output power before performing any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the device using the switch does not reduce the risk. The AC input side must always be connected to ground.
• The AC output wiring must never be connected to the mains or a generator. Such a connection can cause damage greater than a short circuit in the circuit. The AC output of the converter must never be connected to the AC input.
• Specifically, the converter must not be used to power life-support systems or other medical equipment. Volt Polska does not guarantee correct operation with such devices; use is at your own risk.
• Do not overload the device. Operating above the rated load may cause damage. The converter should have approximately 15-25% more power than the connected load.

Connecting Devices (VP 500, 1000, 2000)

Devices to be connected must be turned off. Make the connections as shown in the diagram. Ensure that the sum of connected loads does not exceed the converter's power capacity. The input voltage switch must be set to the mains voltage value of your socket.

Diagram Description: Shows a converter connected to devices via output sockets, with the input connected to a power source.

Connecting the Converter to the Mains (VP 500, 1000, 2000)

Connect the converter's plug to the socket as shown in the diagram.

Diagram Description: Shows the converter's power cord plugged into a wall socket. Includes a circuit breaker reset button and input voltage selection (110V/220V).

Connecting Devices (VP 3000, 5000)

(Power cord not included). Devices to be connected must be turned off. Make the connections as shown in the diagram. Ensure that the sum of connected loads does not exceed the converter's power capacity. The input voltage switch must be set to the mains voltage value of your socket.

Diagram Description: Shows devices connected to the converter's output sockets, with the input connected to a power source.

Connecting the Converter to the Mains (VP 3000, 5000)

Connect the power cords to the converter according to the markings: L - phase wire, N - neutral wire (so-called "zero"), PE (G) - ground.

Diagram Description: Shows the converter's input terminals connected to a wall socket, with proper grounding indicated.
