Safety
• All equipment designed and manufactured by Sollatek (UK) Ltd complies with the
latest safety codes of practice. You should still follow all safety instructions and
use caution when installing and operating electrical equipment.
• To avoid the risk of shock, DO NOT expose this equipment to rain, moisture or
liquid spillage.
• Before attempting to use the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) ensure that the
total loading of your equipment does not exceed the maximum rating of the AVR.
To check the rating of your AVR, refer to the label on the back of the unit.
• For your own safety, do not insert any object into the ventilation slots.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the AVR, to do so will invalidate the guarantee. There
are no user serviceable parts inside.
!Most computers power supplies have irregular current wave forms. The Sollatek AVR
can misinterpret this waveform, resulting in an inaccurate load LED display. It is
therefore important not to overload the AVR by checking the maximum current
consumptionof your PC and ensuring that this is below the rating of the AVR.

Description
As both high and low mains voltage can damage your electrical equipment, the Sollatek
AVR is designed to monitor and correct the incoming supply continuously.
If the mains voltage rises or drops, the AVR will stabilise the output to ensure that the
voltage reaching your equipment remains constant at 230V +4% (or 110V +4% for US
voltage systems), within the operating range of the unit. see below.
The AVR also protects your electrical equipment against power spikes and surges. By
using the AVR you will ensure a stable voltage supply to your equipment.
Depending on the rating of the AVR, it is suitable for all electrical and electronic appliances,
including:
Computers, TV and Hi-fi, Video, Satellite Receivers, Laboratory electronic instruments,
Coolers, Freezers, Fridges, Air conditioners and any other electric and/or electronic
appliance.
The input/output voltages characteristics of the AVR are
illustrated in the table shown;
The Sollatek AVR’s model numbers indicate the input
voltage, output voltage and the current rating. For
example;
AVR02-22 is rated at 2Amps and the 22 indicate 220V
input and 220V output.
Similiarly;
AVR02-11 indicates a unit rated at 2Amps and 110V
input and 110V output.
While;
AVR02-21 indicates a unit rated at 2Amps with input
of 220V and output of 110V.
The Sollatek AVR has a modern state of the art 7 LED
display to indicate the state of the input at all times and 5
LEDs to indicate the output voltage going to your load.
The Loading on the AVR is indicated by a further 5 LEDs.
