¼
These outputs are protected by a miniature fuse
located at the front of the energy station under
the cigarette lighter socket. Replace a damaged
fuse only with one of identical amperage.
¼
Use a suitable connecting cable to link the 3 V -
6 V - 9 V output socket at the front of the energy
station to the unit requiring voltage.
Check that the voltage and current ratings of the
consumer units will not overload the energy
station.
Overloading may destroy the energy station.
6. To operate the lamp (12 V / 5 W)
Proceed as follows to switch on the lamp:
¼
Move the switch (Figure 1 / Item 1) to „ON"
position.
¼
The lamp is switched on and off using the switch
(Figure 1 / Item 5).
7. Starting aid for motor vehicles
¼
The jumper cables with the pole clamps are
located at the rear of the energy station.
¼
When the jumper cables are not in use, do not
remove them from the energy station.
¼
Caution! Risk of short-circuiting if the pole
clamps touch each other.
¼
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 battery with only a limited
charge.
¼
The energy station is not suitable for starting a
vehicle with a fully discharged battery.
The energy station's starting aid function provides
welcome help when a vehicle's battery lacks
sufficient charge to start the vehicle without
difficulty.
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 computer and car phone). The higher starting
voltage and voltage peaks may cause damage to
electronic components. No product liability can be
accepted for any damage resulting from the energy
station's starting aid function. Please read the
10
information in the operating 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 600 A for 5 seconds.
How to use the energy station to start a vehicle
1. The switch (Figure 1 / Item 1) must be set to
„OFF" position.
2. Connect the red cable (+) of the energy station
to the POSITIVE pole (+) of the vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black cable (-) of the energy station
to the vehicle's earthing strip or any other bare
point on the engine block (earth). Choose a point
as far away as possible from the battery in order
to prevent ignition of any explosive electrolytic
gas which may develop.
4. With the energy station connected, you can now
try to start the engine. Do not attempt to start
the vehicle for longer than 20 seconds because
of the very high current involved.
5. First disconnect the pole clamp from the
vehicle's earthing strip (negative pole).
6. Then disconnect the jumper cable from the
POSITIVE pole (+) of the vehicle battery.
7. The energy station will need to be recharged
after giving this starting aid.
8. Battery status monitoring
The LEDs (Figure 2 / Items 1 and 2) indicate the
status of the storage battery.
The green LED (Item 2) lights up when the storage
battery is fully charged. the red LED (Item 1) also
lights up when the storage battery in the energy
station is discharged. The energy station must then
be recharged.
The LEDs (Figure 2 / Items 3 and 4) provide
information on the charge status of the storage
battery.
The red LED (Figure 2 / Item 4) lights up as soon as
you start to charge the energy station. When the
energy station is fully charged the green LED (Item 3)
will also light up.
9. Replacing the lamp
Important! The lamp must be switched off.
Proceed as follows to replace the lamp.
1. Turn the lamp socket (Figure 3 / Item 1) anti-
clockwise.
