  c) Product

• Never leave the product and the connected device unattended during use.

• The accident prevention regulations of the association of commercial insurance for electrical systems and equipment should be observed in commercial facilities!

• Keep all provided small parts away from children and pets; there is a risk of swallowing.

• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. The power supply unit also involves danger to life by electric shock! Allow the device to reach room temperature before connecting and using it. This may take several hours.

• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid right next to the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless, first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.

• Disconnect the product from the wall socket and the connected appliance when not in use.

• The product generates heat during use. Ensure sufficient ventilation and do not cover the product during use.

• The wall socket used for connecting the product must be easily accessible.

• Only use the supplied mains adapter as a power supply.

• Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether the voltage stated on the power adapter complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.

• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.

• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the plug.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.

• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.

• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during storms.

• If the power adapter is visibly damaged, do not touch it. Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! First turn off the power supply to the power outlet that the power adapter is connected to (flip off the fuse and then turn off the residual current operated circuit breaker to disconnect the power outlet at all phases). Now unplug the device from the power outlet. Dispose of the power adapter in an environmentally friendly fashion, discontinue use of it immediately.

Operating elements

1. LED power indicator (hidden)
2. Voltage selection switch
3. Power plug
4. Key
5. Low-voltage plug (example)
6. Low-voltage socket

Operation

Select the output voltage and change the low-voltage plug (5) only when the power adapter is disconnected from the mains!

Observe the operating voltage of the appliance to be connected!

Also observe polarity. Incorrect pin assignment can damage both the end device and product.

When connecting an appliance, make sure it is de-energized. A switched-on appliance can cause sparking when connecting the low-voltage plug, which in return could damage both the product and the connected appliance.

The position of the voltage selection switch (2) determines the output voltage. There are seven available output voltages printed around the voltage selection switch (2).

The low-voltage plugs are marked with letters, dimensions and polarity symbols -o)+ and -(o+.

1. Disconnect the product from the mains and any appliance it might be connected to.
2. Use the key (4) to turn the voltage selection switch until the arrow points to the voltage that matches the input voltage of the load to be connected. The voltage selection switch should noticeably and audibly lock into place.
3. Select one of the six low-voltage plugs featuring the exact dimensions matching the dimensions of the appliance to be connected. Refer to the dimensions of the low-voltage plug mentioned in chapter “Technical Data”.
4. Connect the low-voltage plug to the low-voltage socket observing the correct -o)+ or -(o+ polarity. The arrow located below the respective polarity marking must thereby be aligned with the arrow of the low-voltage socket (6). The low-voltage plug has been designed in a way that it is quite hard to be removed.
5. Check if the appliance to be connected to the power adapter is switched off.
6. Then connect the other end of the low-voltage plug to the power supply jack of the appliance.
7. Connect the power plug (3) to a common household wall socket. The LED power indicator (1) on the top of the power adapter lights up. The product is now ready for use.
8. Switch on the appliance.
9. After use, switch off the appliance and unplug the power adapter from the wall socket. Only then disconnect the low-voltage plug from the appliance.

Troubleshooting

• Check the fuse of the wall socket.
• Check if the mains plug has been connected prop- erly.

Is the power adapter overloaded?

• Disconnect all low-voltage loads from the device and check the technical data.

The connected appliance does not work.| Has the voltage been set correctly?Has the polarity been selected properly? Does the LED power indicator light up? Is the power adapter overloaded?

• Disconnect all low-voltage loads from the device and check the technical data.

The LED power indicator lights up weakly and the connected load does not work, even though the correct voltage has been selected.| Check if the voltage selection switch has properly locked into place. If not, set it up correctly for it to lock into place.

Maintenance and cleaning

• Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solvents, as those can damage the housing or even affect the operation of the product.
• Besides occasional cleaning, the device is maintenance-free. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the product. Therefore never open the product.
• Disconnect the product from the mains and any connected appliance before each cleaning.
• To clean the product, a dry, soft and clean cloth is sufficient. You can easily remove dust using a long-haired, soft and clean brush.
