OPERATION

COMMUNICATION

The device is equipped with an LED indicator [5] that is used to communicate information.

The logic is as follows:

• LED indicator [5] lights up red:
  • Error that cannot be corrected by the user, instagridONE must be serviced.
• LED indicator [5] lights up yellow:
  •  Temporary error, incorrect use (follow the instructions below).
• LED indicator [5] lights up green:
  • Device is ready for use (follow the instructions below).
• LED indicator [5] does not light up:
  • Device is switched off (in transport or standby mode).
  • Device is fully charged (in standby mode).
  • Device is fully discharged (in operating mode).
  • There was an error.
  • LED indicator [5] defective.

COMMISSIONING

The device is shipped with a low level of charge. Depending on the application, the device may therefore need to be charged before it is used for the first time.

Deactivate the transport mode and set the device to standby mode by turning the rotary switch [3] from to (clockwise). The outputs [4 | 9] are voltagefree. The AC charging input [8] is active. The LEDs [5] will not light up.

CHARGING

The rotary switch must be set to (standby mode). To charge the device, connect the charging cable to a wall socket via the AC charging input [8]. While the device is charging, all segments of the LED indicator [5] will light up green from left to right. The outputs [4 | 9] are voltage-free. Permanently green LED segments indicate the current charging status. Each LED segment corresponds to a 12.5 % increase in the battery charge. As soon as the device is fully charged, all LED segments [5] will light up green for 10 seconds. If the device is already fully charged, all LED segments [5] will light up green for 10 seconds as soon as the charging cable is plugged in. After 10 seconds have elapsed, the LED indicator [5] will go out. Next, remove the charging cable and set the rotary switch [3] either to (to activate the transport mode) or to (to operate a connected device).

DISCHARGING

Deactivate the standby mode and activate the operating mode by turning the rotary switch [3] from to (turn clockwise). While the LEDs [5] light up in the start-up sequence, the device will perform an initial self-test.

If the LEDs [5] go out after the start-up sequence, the device is completely discharged and must first be charged (see section 5.3 CHARGING).

If one or more LEDs [5] light up green after the start-up sequence, the device is ready for operation via the outputs [4 | 9]. Equipment can now be connected to either one of the two outputs [4 | 9]. During operation, the number of green LEDs [5] indicates the current state of charge. Regularly check the state of charge during operation. If the device is almost completely discharged, the LED on the far left will flash green. The device should then be recharged as soon as possible (see section 5.3 CHARGING). After operation, set the device to standby mode by turning the rotary switch [3] to (see section 5.3 CHARGING), or activate the transport mode by turning the rotary switch [3] to (see section 5.5 TRANSPORT MODE).

TRANSPORT MODE

Set the rotary switch [3] to (turn anticlockwise) to activate the transport mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

After the LED indicator [5] has communicated an error by means of a red or yellow signal, it will go out.

OVERCURRENT

If the LED indicator [5] lights up yellow in operating mode, the outputs [4 | 9] have been deactivated due to an over current. If this happens, follow the steps outlined below:

• Set the rotary switch [3] to .
• Wait a few seconds and set the rotary switch [3] to again to reset the device to operating mode.

DEVICE TOO COLD/TOO HOT

If the LED indicator [5] flashes yellow, the device is either too cold or too hot, causing the outputs [4 | 9] to be deactivated or charging to be interrupted.
If this happens, follow the steps outlined below:

• If the device is charging:

1. If possible, move the device to a location with moderate temperature. Make sure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight. It will automatically start charging again once the temperature is within the permissible range.
2. Should this not be possible, change the mode of the device by removing the charging cable. Continue with step 1 at a later time.

• If the device is in operating mode:

1. Change the mode of the device by turning the rotary switch [3] to .

2. If possible, move the device to a location with moderate temperature.
   Make sure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight.

3. As soon as the temperature is again within the permissible operating range, the device can be operated again by turning the rotary switch to .

4. Should this not be possible, continue with step 1 at a later time.

SYSTEM ERROR

If the LED indicator [5] flashes red, a system error has occurred. If this happens, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Switch off the device by activating the transport mode (set the rotary switch [3] to ). If necessary, remove the charging cable.
2. Contact instagrid.

MALFUNCTION
