Connecting the cooler
Connecting to a battery (Vehicle or boat)
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V DC, either using cigarette
plug lead supplied, or plug removed and “hard wired” as follows:
Caution – Danger of damaging the device!
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 polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against short-circuiting
when connecting to a battery.
Caution – Danger of damaging the device!
For fixed installations where cigarette plug is removed, and if cable is
extended, to avoid drops in voltage and therefore performance, keep
the cable as short as possible and only disconnect it when necessary. For
this reason avoid additional switches, plugs or power strips.
➤ Determine the required cross section of the cable in relation to the
cable length according to Fig.
