c. Switch on the converter
(1) Push the power switch to 'ON' position and wait until the GREEN LED will light up.
(2) Switch on the appliances one by one.
3. Caution
a. Always connect converter and connected appliances to ground
You can use your Bronson HE-D transformer to connect Class I as well as Class II
appliances.
Class I appliances are electrical appliances that must be connected to the earth by means of
a ground wire. Class II appliances are double insulated electrical appliance that do not
require a safety connection to electrical earth.
Plugs that have a ground connection (e.g. Type B, E, F, G plugs) are typically used to
connect Class I appliances. Always make sure that your connected Class I appliance are
connected to the ground of your converter.
Always use an appropriate plug for connecting your equipment to the converter: The USA
Nema output can only be used to connect Type A and B plugs.
If you are using adapters in order to connect other types of plugs, make sure they have a
grounding connection.
Your Bronson HE-D Converter is a Class I appliance and therefore should only be
connected to sockets with a ground connection, regardless of the devices you connect to
your converter.
b. Avoid Overloading
Do not connect to any appliance whose total wattage rating is beyond the maximum power
rating of the converter (or to multiple appliances whose combined wattage ratings are
greater than the maximum converter rating.) When connected to an appliance with a built-in
motor compressor, the starting power is generally several times that of the appliance’s listed
power rating. Make sure that the total starting power capacity of all connected appliances
does not exceed the listed maximum output power of the converter. For color TV, calculate
twice the listed capacity.
Furthermore please note that the individual USA Nema outputs may not be loaded above 15
Amps, which is the maximum permissible load of USA Nema 5 outputs. Each of the four
outputs is equipped with a 15 Amp circuit breaker.
Devices that can generate internal induction voltage or static charge should not be used with
a HE-D transformers.
c. This voltage converter does not convert the frequency of the entering current
Voltage converters do not convert the frequency (Hertz, Hz) of the electric current (eg. 60Hz in
North America to 50Hz in Europe). For most devices this will not pose a problem, because
they will be compatible on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz. For some equipment this can cause
changes in running performance or damage to the equipment. These include, but are not
limited to the following : analog clocks, electric typewriters, large home appliances,
microwaves, motorized equipment, power tools, TVs, and record players. If you have any
doubt about the compatibility of your device with a voltage converter, please contact the
device manufacturer.
