Safety Precautions

• Before using this device, read the safety rules carefully.
• Ensure proper grounding and avoid touching insulation elements with high voltage.
• Install the AVR in proximity to the power supply for easy access.

Before using this device, please read the safety rules carefully:

• It is strongly forbidden to open the cover of the device, there is high voltage inside. If some problems occur, please read the operation manual carefully and address an authorized service center. For the list of authorized service centers please go to www.real-el.com.

• Do not let liquid get inside the device, it can cause short circuit or electric shock.

• In case there are signs of improper operation of the device (sparkling, unusual smells, etc.), unplug the device from the mains immediately and address your nearest authorized service center.

• It is forbidden to connect the automatic voltage regulator to devices with power consumption higher than its maximum output power. It can cause breakdown of the device.

• This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, mental capabilities, lack of experience or knowledge; use of the device by such persons is
  permitted only under the condition of supervision or instructions for the use of household appliances by persons responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised by authorized personnel to exclude their playing with the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance with a damaged power cord or plug, or after handling liquids, falling or any other damage. To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance yourself. If necessary, contact a specialized service center.

It is strongly forbidden to operate the device in the following conditions:

• in dusty environment or environment containing highly infiammable gas;
• at temperature higher than 40 °C or lower than 0 °C;
• at humidity level higher than 90 %;
• in direct sunlight or next to heating elements;
• in vibration areas;
• outdoors.
• In case of fire use only powder fire extinguisher, as water can cause electric shock.
• The automatic voltage regulator should be installed in proximity to power supply, then it will be easier to unplug the device if necessary.

CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT OPEN

• There is high voltage inside on the insulation elements which can result in electric shock.

Product Usage Instructions

Installation

1. Place the AVR in proximity to the power supply.
2. Ensure proper grounding and connect the AVR to the 220 V household mains.

Attention: Before connecting the regulator, make sure that all consumer devices connected to it are off.

• Before installing the AVR, please make sure that total power of all voltage consumers is lower than AVR power. Taking into account the starting load and power factor of voltage consumers, it is necessary to apply power margin factor of 1.2-1.5; for such equipment as air conditioners, fridges and other electric motors it should be 1.5-2.

Attention: When choosing an AVR, it is necessary to know that reduction of input voltage increases value of input current, which means that maximum power of AVR is reduced too!

Such dependence is shown in the graph below:

Note. Adhere strictly to such dependence. If the condition stated above is not adhered to, warranty servicing becomes void!

• Consumer devices should be connected to the AVR when it is off.
• Connect the AVR to 220 V household mains and switch it on using switch O.
• If the AVR operates properly, digital indicator will display the voltage on the AVR output, i.e. the output voltage. Connected consumer devices must be turned on after that only.
• If the mains voltage exceeds the operating range (140 – 260 V), the AVR disconnects the load automatically (connected devices).

Attention: If the AVR is not used for a long time, it is recommended to disconnect the AVR and all consumer devices from the power supply network.

NOT A FAULT

regulates the output voltage.
Input and output voltage indicators are the same within ~230 V ± 10% (207-253V)| The input voltage is unstable| Not a fault. According to standard EN 50160:2010, the voltage in the mains should be 230V ±10%, where 10% is the maximum permissible deviation from the standard value! All connected household devices work normally. Regulation of the input voltage by the AVR occurs with deviations from the norm of ± 8 % (211-248 V).

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. The switch is off.
2.  There is no voltage in the power supply network.
3. The fuse has activated.
4. The load connected is too powerful.

|

1. Press the switch once again.
2. Make sure that power supply is available.
3. Disconnect the AVR from the power supply and change the fuse.
4. Disconnect some load.

The AVR is turned on, but there is no output voltage.| The AVR is out of order.| If the problem is not eliminated, please address an authorized service center.
The AVR often produces clicking sounds.| Input voltage is very unstable.| It is normal. The AVR regulates output voltage.
The AVR has disconnected the load. Active red indicator.| Input voltage is beyond possible regulation range of 140 – 260 V.| When input voltage is normalized, the AVR turns on automatically.

If none of the above methods can solve the problem, please seek professional advice at your nearest service center. Never attempt to repair the product by yourself.

Switching On

1. Press the power switch to turn on the AVR.
2. The LED display will show the voltage on the AVR output.

Switching Off
To switch off the AVR, press the power switch again.

Disconnecting for Long Periods
If the AVR is not used for a long time, it is recommended to disconnect the AVR and all consumer devices from the power supply network.

FAQ

Problem: The AVR often clicks.
Cause: Relay switching or unstable input voltage.
Explanation: The phenomenon is normal as the AVR regulates the output voltage.

Problem: The AVR does not start.
Cause:

• The power switch is not pressed properly.
• No voltage in the power supply network.
• The fuse has activated.
• The load connected is too powerful.

Solution:

• Press the power switch once again.
• Check if power supply is available.
• Disconnect the AVR from the power supply and change the fuse.
• Disconnect some load.

Problem: The AVR is turned on, but there is no output voltage.
Cause: The AVR is out of order.

Problem: The AVR often produces clicking sounds.
Cause: Input voltage is very unstable.

Problem: The AVR has disconnected beyond the load’s possible regulation range.
Cause: Input voltage is beyond the load’s possible regulation range.
Solution: Check the input voltage and ensure it is within the load’s regulation range.
