2General Safety
This manual supports safe handling of the device. Use the device solely in
accordance with its intended use:
The LPS is a high-quality product for mobile power supply in vehicles. All
components relevant for the power supply of the vehicle are integrated into
one device. This means that the LPS performs many functions that are
conventionally performed by individual components. The LPS supplies 12-V and
230-V consumers simultaneously via the integrated lithium-ion battery. When
the 230-V mains connection is inserted, the LPS is quickly charged via the built-
in charger. The connected 230-V consumers are automatically supplied by the
mains priority circuit via the 230-V mains.
Solar cells or alternative energy sources can also contribute to energy input.
Weak and discharged starter batteries can be supported with the optional
jumpstart function (emergency start).

Installation instructions Technical Specifications
Page 3 of 25
Any modifications to the device or its components are prohibited and do not
conform to its intended use.
The LPS is a protection class 1 device. Only connect the LPS to low-voltage
sources which have an earth connection (shockproof socket with PE) and a RCD
circuit breaker (FI).
Observe the following safety instructions:
Store and mount the LPS upright, never overhead or on its side.
Danger from damaged, frozen or deformed batteries: Before charging,
make sure that the battery is undamaged and the electrolyte is not frozen.
Only charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms and away from ignition
sources.

Connecting the CDR Power Distributor Relay
The LPS has a jumpstart function to start the vehicle when the starter battery is
discharged. In an emergency, the CDR power distributor relay ensures
controlled and current-limited charge compensation between the LPS and the
empty starter battery.
From hardware version 12.20/15.20/25.20, the jumpstart function
is also possible without CDR.
To connect the CDR power distributor relay, perform the following steps:
You need a CDR 200/40.
You need two cables (16 mm2).
1. Disconnect the starter battery from the on-board power supply.
Warning: Disconnect the negative lead first.
2. Secure one cable (16 mm2) of the device near the vehicle battery with a
suitable fuse (80 A).
3. Using the fused line, connect the positive terminal of the vehicle battery
to a screw terminal of the CDR.
4. Use a cable to connect the same screw terminal of the CDR with the
positive contact of the grey Anderson plug.
5. Use a cable to connect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery to the
negative contact of the grey Anderson plug.
