7.3 Connecting the cooler
Connecting to a battery (Vehicle or boat)
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 Vg.
A
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system to prevent
polarity reversal. This protects the cooler againstshort-circuiting when connecting to
a battery.
➤Plug the 12/24 V connection cable (fig. 12, page 7) into the device
DC voltage socket and also into a 12 V or 24 V cigarette lighter socket.
Connecting to a 100 – 240 V AC mains (E.g. in the home or office)
D
The coolers have an integrated multi-voltage power supply with priority circuit for
connecting to an AC voltage source of 100 – 240 V. The priority circuit automatically
switches the cooler to mains operation, if the device is connected to a 100 – 240 V
AC mains, even if the 12/24 V connection cable is still attached.
➤Plug the 100 – 240 V connection cable (fig. 13, page 7) into the device
AC voltage socket and connect it to the 100 – 240 V AC voltage mains.
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
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.
DANGER! Danger of electrocution!
•Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
•If you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains
connection of 100 – 240 Vw, you must install a residual current
circuit breaker between the 100 – 240 V
w mains and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.

7.4 Using the battery monitor
The device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle
battery against excessive discharging when the device is connected to the on-board
12/24 V supply.
If the cooler is operated when the vehicle ignition is switched off, the cooler switches
off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level. The cooler will
switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the restart voltage level.
A
In “HIGH” mode, the battery monitor responds faster than at the levels “LOW” and
“MED” (see the following table).
The battery monitor mode can be selected as follows:
➤Switch on the cooler.
➤Press the “SET” button (fig. 34, page 11) three times.
➤Use the “UP +” (fig. 37, page 11) or “DOWN –” (fig. 36, page 11) buttons to
select the battery monitor mode.
✓Display will be as follows:
Lo (LOW), Πd (MED), Hi (HIGH)
✓The selected mode then appears in the display for a few seconds. The display
flashes several times before it returns to the current temperature.
I
NOTICE! Danger of damage!
When switched off by the battery monitor, the battery will no longer be
fully charged. Avoid starting repeatedly or operating current consumers
without longer charging phases. Ensure that the battery is recharged.
Battery monitor mode LOW MED HIGH
Switch-off voltage at 12 V 10.1 V 11.4 V 11.8 V
Restart-voltage at 12 V 11.1 V 12.2 V 12.6 V
Switch-off voltage at 24 V 21.5 V 24.1 V 24.6 V
Restart voltage at 24 V 23.0 V 25.3 V 26.2 V
NOTE
When the cooler is supplied by the starter battery, select the battery
monitor mode “HIGH”. If the cooler is connected to a supply battery,
the battery monitor mode “LOW” will suffice.

7.5 Using the cooler
A
➤Place the cooler on a firm foundation.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not covered and that the heated air can
dissipate.
I
➤Connect the cooler, see chapter “Connecting the cooler” on page 16.
A
➤Press the “ON/OFF” button (fig. 31, page 11) for between one and two
seconds.

✓The display (fig. 35, page 11) switches on and shows the current cooling
temperature.
NOTICE! Danger of overheating!
Ensure at all times that there is sufficient ventilation so that the heat that
generated during operation can dissipate. Ensure that the ventilation
slots are not covered. Make sure that the device is sufficiently far away
from walls and other objects so that the air can circulate.
NOTE
Place the cooler as shown (fig. 1, page 7). If you operate the box in a
different orientation it can be damaged.
NOTICE! Danger from excessively low temperature!
Ensure that the only those objects are placed in the cooler that are
intended to be cooled at the selected temperature.
