Safety instructions

This appliance is suitable for use ONLY indoors.

• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Check the appliance and all parts for visible damages. The safety concept can work only if the appliance is in a faultless condition.

• The plug must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance can be quickly separated from the mains power supply in the event of an emergency.

To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:

• Connect the power supply unit only to correctly installed and earthed mains sockets. The mains voltage must conform with the specifications on the ratings plate of the power supply unit.

• Only use the supplied power supply unit. If you replace the power supply unit, only replace it with one of the same model.

• To avoid risks, arrange for defective power plugs and/ or cables to be replaced at once by qualified technicians or our Customer Service Department.

• Never submerge the appliance or the power supply unit in water. Wipe it only with a slightly damp cloth.

• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never use it in a humid or wet environment.

• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet during operation.

• Do not open the casing or attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Should you do so, appliance safety can no longer be assured and the warranty will become void.

• Protect the appliance against drip and spray water. Do not place any water-filled vessels (e.g. flower vases) on the appliance.

• Should water permeate into the Energy Station or the power supply unit, or if they fall into water, irreparable damage can occur and there also exists the risk of receiving an electric shock!

To avoid the risk of fire caused by short circuits:

• Ensure that the screw connectors can never be short-circuited, for example, by a loose cable. For operational reasons these connections are not protected – this means that very high currents can flow (over 15 A).

• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot surfaces.

• Do not retain the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight, Otherwise, it may overheat and become irreparably damaged.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.

• Do not operate the Energy Station in the immediate vicinity of sources of heat, such as an oven, hot air blowers (in a vehicle: close to heating vents) and similar appliances! Heat effects could lead to the equipment overheating and to the melting of plastic parts, whereby the Energy Station could be irreparably damaged!

If it is overheated, the Energy Station could be irreparably damaged and the risk of a fire exists!

• This appliance must not be placed in the immediate vicinity of flammable materials, for example curtains, inflammable liquids etc.

• Do not place any open sources of fire, like candles, on the appliance.

Injury hazard!

• Keep children away from the connecting cable and the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the dangers of electrical appliances.

• Ensure that the appliance stands with a safe and secure positioning.

• Do not operate the appliance if it has sustained a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by qualified technicians.

Start-up

The Energy Station is supplied with a low-level precharged battery. Prior to initial usage it must therefore be charged.

Attention!

The battery can lose considerable capacity should you use the Energy Station without fully charging it beforehand!

• Before taking the appliance into use, check to ensure that the Energy Station, the connection cables

 and the power supply unit  are in

a defect-free condition.

Danger!

NEVER use a damaged connection cable. Risk of short circuit!

Page 7

2. Then insert the 12 V plug of the vehicle adapter

 in the 12-V plug resp. in the cigar lighter of

the vehicle.

Danger!

The above sequence is important, as it avoids a short circuit due to inadvertent contact of the appliance plug with the vehicle chassis.

3. Place the main switch 2 at the front of the appli- ance to the “CHA” position. The Energy Station is now being charged.

4. While the Energy Station is charging, the red LED “On” 6 in the field CHARGE will be illuminated.

5. When the battery is nearly fully charged, the green LED “Full” 6 will start to be faintly illuminated. As soon as it is fully illuminated you can remove the vehicle adapter . The red LED "On" 6 continues to glow until you place the main switch 2 in the position "OFF".

Carrying out connections

A total of 5 low voltage connection sockets 4, from 3 - 12 V, are available for the supply of power to appliances with a maximum power consumption of 1 A:

1. Insert the adapter cable  in the low voltage connection socket 4 corresponding to the voltage required for the appliance to be supplied.

2. Select the suitable adapter connector  for the input to the appliance being supplied.

Caution!

Ensure that “Positive” and “Negative” have not been switched. Otherwise your appliance could be damaged!

3. Connect the selected adapter plug  and the adapter cable  together so that positive and negative correspond to the markings on the sockets of your appliance.

Notice!

A charging process is only established if the charging voltage is higher than that of the battery. With a stationary vehicle this is frequently not the case. Generally speaking, charging is therefore only possible with the engine running.

Power supply over the low voltage socket (max. 1 A)

Caution!

Before performing any connections, always check to ensure that both the appliance to be supplied and the Energy Station are switched off. Place the main switch 2 in the “OFF” position (centre position). In this way you can avoid damage through connection faults.

Polarity of the adapter plug:

• Should the adapter plugs  be connected with

positive to positive and negative to negative on the adapter cable , then on the adapter plugs  positive is above resp. inside and negative is below resp. outside.

- 5 -

Page 8

• Should the adapter plugs  be connected with opposite markings (+ and -) on the adapter cable , then on the adapter plugs  positive is outside and negative is inside.

Providing electrical power

1. Place the main switch 2 to "ON" – the appliance

connected via the adapter cable  is supplied with electricity.

2. For as long as sufficient energy is available for

the appliance being supplied, the green LED “Full” 5 is illuminated in the OUTPUT field.

3. When there no longer sufficient energy available

for the appliance being supplied, the red LED "Empty" 5 is illuminated in the OUTPUT field.

Caution!

You must first recharge the battery when the red LED “Empty” 5 is illuminated. Otherwise the battery will be depleted, usually resulting in a considerable loss of charging capacity.

Ending the supply of electricity

1. Switch the appliance off that is being supplied

with power.

2. Place the main switch 2 of the Energy Station at

"OFF" (centre position).

In this way you prevent current flowing while the connector is being withdrawn. Sensitive appliances sometimes malfunction as a consequence.

3. Now you can withdraw the adapter cable plugs  from both the appliance and the Energy Station.

Possible faults in the event of non-functionality

• If neither of the two LEDs, 5 and 6, light up after switching on, then the 10 amp fuse 8 on the Energy Station might have blown. Changing fuses is described in more detail in the section "Fuses".

• Should an LED light up on the Energy Station after switching on, but the appliance fails to work, immediately switch the Energy Station off. Check to ensure that the cable is correctly connected – and “Positive” and “Negative“ have not been switched. If required, also check the fuse in your appliance, as described in its operating instructions.

Power supply over the 10 amp socket (Vehicle power plug)

Caution!

The 12 V/10 A socket 3 is available for the supply of electricity to appliances consuming up to a max. of 10 A. Here you can connect the so-called “cigarette lighter connectors” for various appliances. These could be for example...

- cooler boxes,

- car vacuum cleaners,

- small portable TV sets etc. ...

- 6 -

Page 9

Note:

Please bear in mind that with a 10 A load the battery will be exhausted after not more than 45 minutes – subject to the battery charge condition, even earlier.

Cooler boxes have a typical power consumption of 3 - 4 A per hour. With a battery capacity of 7 Ah, this corresponds to just under 2 hours of operating time. You can roughly estimate the operating time for your appliance using this calculation example.

In this way you can avoid damage caused by connection errors.

Carrying out connections

Caution!

Ensure that “Positive” and “Negative” are not switched before connecting your appliance to the Energy Station. Otherwise your appliance could be damaged.

You could use the supplied vehicle adapter  for supplying power, should its plug fit in the socket of the appliance. With the supplied vehicle adapter cable  the appliance plug is connected so that Positive is on the inside and Negative on the outside, as shown.

• You can use the vehicle adapter cable  if the socket on the appliance being powered is marked thus:

• Do not use the vehicle adapter cable  if the socket on the appliance being powered is marked thus:

1. Insert the appliance connector of the supplied vehicle adapter cable  in the socket on your appliance.

2. Insert the 12-V plug of the vehicle adapter , resp. the appliance being powered, in the 12 V/10 A socket 3 on the Energy Station.

Switching the power supply on

1. Place the main switch 2 at "ON" – your appliance will now be supplied with power.

2. For as long as sufficient energy is available for the appliance being supplied, the green LED “Full” 5 is illuminated in the OUTPUT field.

3. When there no longer sufficient energy available for the appliance being supplied, the red LED "Empty" 5 is illuminated in the OUTPUT field.

Caution!

You must first recharge the battery when the red LED “Empty” 5 is illuminated. Otherwise the battery will be depleted, usually resulting in a considerable loss of charging capacity.

Ending the supply of electricity

1. Switch the appliance off that is being supplied with power.

2. Place the main switch 2 of the Energy Station at "OFF" (centre position).

In this way you prevent current flowing while the connector is being withdrawn. Sensitive appliances sometimes malfunction as a consequence.

3. Withdraw the 12-V plug from the 12 V/10 A socket 3 on the Energy Station and, if need be, the appliance plug of the vehicle adapter  from the appliance that was being powered.

On appliances with a permanently connected cable and 12 V plug, “Positive” and “Negative“ have the correct polarity.

Possible faults in the event of non-functionality

• If neither of the two LEDs, 5 and 6, light up after switching on, then the 10 amp fuse 7 on the Energy Station might have blown. Changing fuses is described in more detail in the section "Fuses".

• Should an LED light up on the Energy Station after switching on, but the appliance fails to work, immediately switch the Energy Station off. Check to ensure that the cable is correctly connected – and that “Positive” and “Negative“ have not been switched. If required, also check the fuse in your appliance, as described in its operating instructions.

Power supply over the screw connections

Caution!

Use the screw connections 9 at the rear of the appliance for 12V appliances requiring a high starting current for switching on, but which do not otherwise consume more than 10 A per hour. Appliances with a high starting current could be for instance ...

- 12 V vacuum cleaners

- 12 V drilling machines

- 12 V television sets etc.

Although these may not require more than 10 A in operation, the fuse will immediately blow when they are switched on. In this case such appliances cannot be operated on the 12 V/10 A socket 3. Operate these appliance only by way of the screw connections 9, as described here.

Carrying out connections using the banana plugs

1. The screw connections 9 are hollow, to accom- modate so-called “banana plugs”. If such are provided on your appliance cable, you can insert these in the screw connections 9 from the top, instead of screw-connecting.

Danger!

Extremely high current flows are possible here, ones that are even capable of heating thick cables to red hot! Before connecting, check to ensure that the connecting cable for the appliance to be powered is suitable for such a connection, so as to avoid electric shock and the risk of fire. These high currents are required for the starting of some appliances. The screw connections 9 are therefore neither routed by way of a fuse and nor by way of the main switch 2, i.e. voltage is continuously present! For this reason it is imperative to ensure that a shortcircuit cannot be created at the screw terminals, not under any circumstances!

Carrying out connections with the bare ends of fixed appliance cables

1. If the cable is permanently connected with the appliance to be powered, you can simply connect the bare “Positive“ wire (usually red) to the red screw connector 9.

2. Connect the bare "Negative" wire (usually black or blue) to the black screw terminal 9.

To do so, unscrew the plastic caps on the screw terminals 9. Clamp the bare wires underneath when retightening.

Carrying out connections over a loose cable

1. If the cable is not permanently connected to the appliance being powered, but has a bare ap-pliance plug available, first insert the appliance plug in the socket on the appliance.

- 8 -

Page 11

2. Then connect the wires to the screw connectors 9. With this sequence you avoid short-circuit risks, should the bare connector inadvertently come into contact with metallically conductive objects during the connection work.

Fuses

If neither of the two LEDs, 5 and 6, light up after switching on, then the 10 amp fuse 7 on the Energy Station might have blown. If an LED is illuminated after switching on, but no current is flowing via the vehicle adapter , the cable fuse in the 12 V plug of the vehicle adapter  may have burnt out.

Danger!

First, place the main switch 2 to “OFF”. Disconnect ALL cables from the Energy Station before changing ANY fuses.

In this way you will avoid having the new fuse melting in your fingers on insertion if the defect persists – risk of injury!

Changing a cable fuse

• Unscrew the cable fuse cap on the 12 V plug of the vehicle adapter . Insert a new “1 A (T1A 250 V)” fuse.

If the fuse blows again immediately after the appliance is connected, the appliance is burdening the Energy Station with excessive power consumption – or it is defective.

Cleaning and care

Danger!

Never open the housing of this appliance. There are no user-serviceable elements inside. An open housing can pose a fire hazard through short-circuit currents.

• Place the main switch 2 to the position “OFF”.

• Disconnect all cable connections between the Energy Station and any appliances that might be connected to it.

• If you wish to clean the power supply unit , disconnect it from both the mains power socket and the charging socket w.

Danger!

Fuses are important protective measures to help prevent damage. Never render them ineffective. Always replace fuses with fuses of the same rating, never with “higher” ratings. Never bypass fuses. Risk of fire!

Changing a round fuse

• Unscrew the cap at the front of the round fuse 7. Fit a new fuse with a rating of “2 A“ (T2A 250 V).

Changing a flat fuse

• Pull out the flat fuse 8 at the rear of your ap- pliance (e.g. with long-nose pliers). Insert a new “10 A (C10)” fuse.

Danger!

Never submerse any parts of the appliance in water or other liquids! This can severely damage the Energy Station – and there is also the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock from the power supply unit.

• All surfaces and cables are best cleaned with a slightly moistened washing-up cloth. Dry the appliance well before re-using it.

Danger!

Do not use detergents or solvents. These could cause damage to the appliance, especially to the lettering.

Page 12

Storage

Because of the natural self-discharge of batteries, the Energy Station should be fully charged once more before putting it into storage for several days or weeks. If you wish to store the appliance for an extended period of time without usage, to prevent a full depletion of the battery it should be recharged before the expiry of 6 months.

• Place the main switch 2 to the position “OFF”.

• Disconnect all cable connections between the Energy Station and any appliances that might be connected to it.

• Pack all cables and connectors away in the storage compartments 0 and q on the appliance.

• And finally, close all lids.

• Store the appliance in a dry place.
