4. CHARGING THE ENERGY STATION
(Important! Move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/
ltem 1) to «OFF».)
4.1 Charging the energy station with the power
supply unit
1. Plug the connecting cable of the supplied power
supply unit in the charging socket
(Figure 1 / Item 2) on the unit.
2. Plug the power supply unit into a mains socket
outlet for 230 V - 50 Hz. The red LED indicator (Fig.
1/ltem 3) À ashes.
3. It takes around 30 hours to charge the energy
station.
• Pressing the TEST switch in the middleposition dis-
plays the charge state of the built-in battery on the
indicator (Fig. 1/ltem 4).
ln order to preserve the operating life of the battery,
it should be recharged at least once every 3 months,
irrespective of the amount of usage.
4.2 Charging the energy station with the automo-
bile adapter cable
The energy station can be charged through the auto-
mobile's cigarette lighter socket.
IMPORTANT: The energy station battery has a 12 volt
charge capacity. You should only charge the energy
station when en route, as otherwise the unit will run
down the vehicle's battery. Never start the vehicle as
long as the automobile adapter cable is connected to
the cigarette lighter socket.
• Insert the 12 volt plug of the automobile adapter cable
into the automobile's cigarette lighter socket and in-
sert the other end of the cable into the charging jack
of the energy station marked «DC 12V INPUT».
5. OUTPUTS
Output 12 V cigarette lighter socket, max 10 A
• 3 12 V outputs (Figure 1 / Item 8) can be loaded with
max. 10 A, i.e. you have max. 10 A at your disposal.
• Check the power and power consumption values of
the consumer to ensure that you do not overload
the energy station. If you only know the power data
of the consumer you can calculate the max. current
very easily.
Example:
Consumer: 12 V/50 W
The current consumption is 50 W/12 V
= 4.17 A
6. OPERATING HOURS OF TYPICAL
CONSUMERS
The appliances listed below are typical 12V consum-
ers. Their actual operating time depends on the power
consumption of the particular model and the battery
charge level.
Consumer Amperage
Halogen lamp 4,5 A
Car vacuum 7 A
cleaner
TV with satellite 4 A
receiver
Cool-box 4 A
12V immersion 4,5 A
pump
Check that the voltage and current ratings of the con-
sumer units will not overload the energy station.
Overloading may destroy the energy station.
7. TO OPERATE THE LAMP
Proceed as follows to switch on the lamp:
• The lamp (Figure 1 / Item 7) is switched on and off
using the switch (Figure 1 / Item11).
8. Starting aid for motor vehicles
• The charging cable with the pole clamps is located
on the side of the unit.
• When the jum per cables are not in use, do not re-
move them from the energy station.
• Caution! Risk of short-circuiting if the pole clamps
touch each other.
• Use the energy station as a source of starting aid
only when the vehicle battery is partially discharged.
The energy station is designed provide the car bat-
tery with only a limited charge.
• The energy station is not suitable for starting a vehi-
cle with a fully discharged battery.
The energy station's starting aid function provides
welcome help when a vehicle's battery lacks suf¿ cient
charge to start the vehicle without dif¿ culty. We wish
to point out that even standard vehicle models are
equipped with numerous electric modules
(e.g. ABS, ASC, fuel injection pump, on-board com-
puter and car phone). The higher starting voltage and
voltage peaks may cause damage to electronic com-
ponents. No product liability can be accepted for any
damage resulting from the energy station's starting
aid function. Please read the information in the oper-
ating manuals of your vehicle, radio, car phone, etc.
Important! The energy station has to be charged to full
capacity in order to be able to draw a current of 425 A
for 5 seconds.
