SETUP
GENERAL
Caution! -Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling. Do not allow
frost to build up. Never clean the appliance using a hose and never submerge the unit in
any liquid.
Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator to work
more efficiently and keep the contents cool.
Note! - Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the
refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents.
Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the
fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it.
Note! - Water resistant rating IPX4.
Caution! - The appliance can only be connected to one power source at
a time.
Note! - Suitable for camping use.
ELECTRICAL
Power: The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and
includes three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below
the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage rises to the cut-in
value, the compressor will restart automatically.
Battery Protection: The Secop Compressor requires approximately 10.6Volts
(12Volt System). Note: The early warning alarm will sound off every 4 seconds
for 30 minutes before the compressor shuts off. If an alternative power source
is not found, the early warning alarm will sound off every 8 seconds for 30 mins
until the unit has no more power.

CABLE SPECIFICATION
The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table:
Note! The length is from the battery to the refrigerator.

The output of these sockets are dependant on the power supply
attached to the DC 12/24V Anderson Connector on the side. If it’s
connected to a 12V source, the output is 12V, if its connected to a
24V source, the output will be 24V.

For emergency purposes (faulty operation or control panel not working
properly) there’s an override switch users can use. To access the override
switch you need to remove the cover, the override switch is not visible or
accessible until the cover is removed. You can flick the override switch to
bypass the control panel and force the fridge to cool up and freeze what
you have in the fridge. This will however only freeze the zone of the fridge
that is currently turned on before flicking the override switch.
