If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Do not operate the device in wet or damp environments.
Maintenance and repair work may only be carried out by quali-
fied personnel who are familiar with the risks involved and the
relevant regulations.
2.2 Safety when installing the device
a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.
Take the precautions necessary to ensure that children cannot
interfere with operation.
Dangerous situations may occur which cannot be recognised by
children!
Do not expose the device to a heat source (such as direct sun-
light or heating). Avoid additional heating of the device in this
way.
For installation on boats
eIf electrical devices are incorrectly installed on boats, corrosion
damage might occur. Have the inverter installed by a specialist
(marine) electrician.
Electrical cables
eIf cables have to be fed through metal walls or other walls with
sharp edges, use ducts or tubes to prevent damage.
Do not lay cables which are loose or bent next to electrically
conductive material (metal).
Do not pull on the cables.
Do not lay the 110 – 240 V~ mains cable and the 12/24 Vg
cable together in the same duct (ductwork).
Fasten the cables securely.
Lay the cables so that they cannot be tripped over or damaged.

Mains rectifier
Operating manual
4 Proper use
The MPS50 mains rectifier is for operating coolers and refrigerators with
BDF-50 compressors at 110 – 240 V~.
5 Technical description
The mains rectifier can operate all coolers and refrigerators with BDF-50
compressors at 110 – 240 V~. With a 110 – 240 V~ mains connection, the
rectifier automatically switches from battery to mains operation.
When disconnected from the 110 – 240 V~ mains supply, the rectifier auto-
matically switches back to battery operation. Mains operation via the rectifier
always takes priority over battery operation.

5.1 Control elements
6 Mounting the mains rectifier
If you wish to mount the mains rectifier in a fixed position, please observe the
following mounting instructions:
Do not mount the device
–In wet or damp environments
– In the vicinity of combustible materials
– In areas where there is a danger of explosions
The place of installation must be well-ventilated. A ventilation system
which is at least equivalent to the air openings in the device must be
present for installations in closed housings.
The air intake on the underside or the air outlet on the back of the device
must remain clear.
The installation surface must be level and sufficiently sturdy.
➤Secure the mains rectifier with screws through the fastening holes at the
front and the back of the device (fig. 13, page 3).

7 Using the mains rectifier
eWarning!
Do not reverse the polarity. If the poles are reversed device may
overheat and be damaged.
aCaution!
Replace defective fuses with new ones of the same rating (12 A
slow-blow).
eWarning!
Ensure that the battery’s positive supply line is secured with a fuse
(fig. 21, page 3) of the following value:
–at 12Vg: 15 A
–at 24Vg: 7.5 A
The fuse must be installed as close to the battery as possible.
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!
➤Fit wire sleeves to the ends of wires which you wish to connect to the
mains rectifier.
➤Connect the battery using the B+ and B– terminals on the front plate
(fig. 3, page 3).
➤Connect the BDF-50 compressor
– using the C+ and C– terminals (fig. 41, page 3) or
–using the socket on the front plate (fig.42, page 3).
