PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Welcome to the Sunsynk Mobile Contour, a portable power source designed to provide power to construction site technicians, vehicle mechanics, remote locations or simply environments both industrial and domestic, where power supply is non-existent or unreliable. Each trolley is fitted with two wheels and two rubber feet to keep the trolley firmly in place once located to a useful position.

THE CONTOUR COMES IN TWO VERSIONS;
The Contour 1000 [921.6Wh] The Contour 2000 [1843.2Wh]

Both versions make use of a 1kW Pure Sine Wave Inverter with the difference being in the battery capacity per model. Therefore, the Contour 2000 can power more appliances for longer than the Contour 1000. In the case of the ‘Contour 1000’ it is feasible to run a 100W appliance for 10hrs while the same device can run for 20hrs with the Contour-2000!

Built-in Lithium Phosphate battery packs provide reliable and safe power storage. The built-in inverter allows the Contour to be charged by AC Mains supply or from a DC Solar Array and can supply both AC and DC power via its assorted sockets. Load level indication is provided by a row of LEDs, these will increase with the load from green to orange, red LED’s indicate an overload and it is recommended to reduce the load to prevent damage to the unit. Flashing red LED’s indicate that the unit has gone into safe mode, it will need to be switched off and on to restore output. Please ensure loads have been removed during this operation to prevent safe mode activation. Battery level indication is via a flow of LED’s that decrease as the charge capacity of the unit decreases.

2.2. What the Kit Contains

2.3. What It Can Power

• The Contour can supply power to many devices, ranging from lights to laptops, TV’s, fans, PC’s, routers, sound systems, tablets or smart phones, giving you the confidence to power anything anywhere.
• It comes with a built-in inverter to provide two 240VAC sockets to power supply your gadgets or appliances.

Please note that the total load of the devices to be powered does not exceed the rated capacity of the inverter, this being 1000W maximum. Overload will cause the unit to go into protection mode and switch off.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

USING THE PRODUCT

1. Fully charge the device before using.

2. Check your device is suitable to run from the Contour.
