Operation
Voltmeter and USB Ports
Once installed and connected to a 12 Volt power source the unit is ready to power devices. The On / Off button is used to turn the voltmeter display on and off. All other outputs including the USB/PD/QC and 50A Anderson ports are always ON as soon as the main input supply is connected.
LED Light
To operate the LED light, simply press the Light button to active the LED light. The brightness of the light can be adjusted in steps. Simply keep pressing the Light button to reach the desired brightness. To turn off the light, keep pressing until the light goes out.
Cig Sockets
All cig sockets are sharing a 10A fuse. There is a spare 10A fuse provided inside the unit.
Anderson Inputs/Outputs
The three input/output Anderson connections share a 40A auto reset circuit breaker. If the combined input/output through the Anderson connections exceed 40A, the circuit breaker will trip, and it will recover once the thermal protection resets.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
USB/PD/QC Ports not working / Charging | a) Ensure the unit is at operating voltage 12 Volt + |
The LED Light button is not working | a) Ensure the unit is at operating voltage 12+ b) Ensure you have pressed the button multiple times to step up the brightness level. |
