•Ensure that the red and black terminals never come into contact.
•Disconnect the device from the mains:
– Before cleaning and maintenance
–Afteruse
– Before changing a fuse
•If you disassemble the device:
– Detach all connections
– Make sure that no voltage is present at any of the inputs and
outputs
•The device may not be used if the device itself or the connection cable
are visibly damaged.

•Never pull the plug out of the socket by the connection cable.
•Store the device in a dry and cool place.
2.2 Safety when installing the device
DDANGER!
•Never mount the device anywhere where there is a risk of gas or dust
explosion.
!CAUTION!
•Ensure that the device is standing firmly.
The device must be set up and fastened in such a way that it cannot tip
over or fall down.
ANOTICE!
•Do not expose the device to a heat source (such as direct sunlight or
heating). Avoid additional heating of the device in this way.
•Set up the device in a dry location where it is protected against splash-
ing water.
2.3 Safety when connecting the device electronically
DDANGER! Danger of electrocution
•For installation on boats:
If electrical devices are incorrectly installed on boats, corrosion dam-
age might occur. Have the device installed by a specialist (marine)
electrician.
•If you are working on electrical systems, ensure that there is somebody
close at hand who can help you in emergencies.
!WARNING!
•Always use sockets which are grounded and secured by residual cur-
rent circuit breakers.
•Make sure that the lead has a sufficient cross-section.
•Lay the cables so that they cannot be damaged by the doors or the
bonnet.
Crushed cables can lead to serious injury.

!CAUTION!
•Lay the cables so that they cannot be tripped over or damaged.
ANOTICE!
•Use ductwork or cable ducts if it is necessary to lay cables through
metal panels or other panels with sharp edges.
•Do not lay the 230 V mains cable and the 12 V DC cable in the same
duct.
•Do not lay the cable so that it is loose or heavily kinked.
•Fasten the cables securely.
•Do not pull on the cables.
2.4 Operating the device safely
DDANGER! Danger of electrocution
•Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands. This applies espe-
cially when operating the device from the AC mains.
•To be able to disconnect the device quickly from the mains, the socket
must be close to the device and be easily accessible.
!WARNING!
•Only use the device in closed, well-ventilated rooms.
•Do not operate the device in systems with lead acid batteries. These
batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas that can be ignited by sparks
on electrical connections.
!CAUTION!
•Do not operate the device
– In salty, wet or damp environments
– In the vicinity of corrosive fumes
– In the vicinity of combustible materials
– In areas where there is a danger of explosions.
•Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply line and the
plug are dry.
•Always disconnect the power supply when working on the device.
•Please observe that parts of the device may still conduct voltage even
if the fuse has blown.
•Do not disconnect any cables when the device is still in use.

MPS50 Technical description

5 Technical description
The mains rectifier can operate all coolers and refrigerators with BDF50 compressors
at 110 – 240 Vw. With a 110 – 240 Vwmains connection, the rectifier automatically
switches from battery to mains operation.
When disconnected from the 110 – 240 Vwmains supply, the rectifier automatically
switches back to battery operation. Mains operation via the rectifier always takes
priority over battery operation.

7 Using the mains rectifier
!
A
!
To avoid drops in voltage and therefore performance, keep the cable route as short
as possible and only disconnect it when necessary.
The cables between mains rectifier and compressor must not exceed 1.5 m and must
have a cross section of at least 2.5 mm².
WARNING!
Do not reverse the polarity. If the poles are reversed device may over-
heat and be damaged.
NOTICE!
Replace defective fuses with new ones of the same rating (12 A slow-
blow).
WARNING!
Ensure that the battery’s positive supply line is secured with a fuse
(fig. 21, page 11) of the following value:
•at 12 Vg: 15 A
•at 24 Vg: 7.5 A
The fuse must be installed as close to the battery as possible.
