Connecting the cooler

Note
I
The design of the 12/24 V socket on your vehicle may not be suit-
able for connecting the compressor cooler. Only an authorised spe-
cialist may fit an electrical lead/socket designed for the cooler.
Please observe the following instructions:
– Connect your cooling device as directly as possible to the bat-
tery terminal or to an outlet with a fuse of at least 15 A (12 V) or
7.5 A (24 V).
– Ensure that the positive cable is connected to the positive ter-
minal and the negative cable to the negative terminal.
– To avoid voltage loss and therefore a drop in performance or
complete failure, the cable route should be kept as short as pos-
sible and should not be interrupted if this is possible.
– Avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.
– If the connection cable is too short or one is not delivered with
your model, you should obtain a suitable cable from a specialist
dealer. Determine the required cross section of the cable using
the diagram (fig. 8, page 4).
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V DC.
Caution – Danger of damaging the device!
e
Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery
before you connect the battery to a quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system
to prevent the polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against
short-circuiting when connecting to a battery.
➤ Plug the 12/24-V connection cable (fig. 1 2, page 3) into the
DC voltage socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V
or 24 V socket.
