Figure 1: Overview
6.2 CHARGING THE POWER PACK
Charge the power pack for 24 hours before you use it for the first time. To
do this, place the power pack in a well-ventilated location. Open the storage
compartment for the 230 V charging cable (Position 9 in the overview) and
remove the charging cable. Insert the plug of the cable into a 230 V socket.
The charge control lamp (Position 3 in the overview) now lights in red. After
24 hours, disconnect the mains plug, stow the cable in the storage compartment
without kinking and close the lid. Press the push button (Position 6 in the
overview) for the charging status indicator (position 4 in the overview). If
the green control lamp lights up, the power pack is ready for use. In order to
ensure that the power pack is always able to provide its full power
performance, charge for at least 5 hours after each use (to jump-start a
vehicle).
6.3 CHECKING THE CHARGING STATUS
The charging status of the battery cannot be checked during charging. First
disconnect the 230 V charging cable from the socket before checking the
charging status.
To check the charging status of the power pack, press the button for the
charging status (Position 6 in the overview) while the mains is unplugged. The
indicator lights for the charging status (Position 4 in the overview) indicate
the status of the battery:
Low (red): The battery must be charged as soon as possible
Middle (yellow): Charging the battery is recommended
High (green): It is not necessary to charge the battery
6.4 JUMP-START
Make sure that the power pack is fully charged. To do this, press the
control button for the charging status (Position 6 in the overview). If the
charging control lamp (Position 4 in the overview) lights up,,high” green, the
power pack is ready for use.
The jump-start function of the power pack is designed only for vehicles with a 12 V on-board voltage. Before using, consult the operating instructions of your vehicle to determine whether, and if so, how an external jump-start is to be used. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics and control devices that may be damaged if the wrong procedure is used.
6.5 CONNECTING THE POWER PACK (VEHICLES WITH NEGATIVE EARTH)
Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers of the vehicle (radio,
lights, rear window heating, seat heating etc.). Apply the parking brake.
Make sure that the power pack`s jump-start rotary switch (Position 2 in the overview) is set to ,,OFF”.
First connect the red (+) pole callipers (Position 1 in the overview) to the plus pole of your vehicle battery. The black (-) pole callipers (Position 10 in the overview) is connected, as far as possible from the battery, to the motor block or chassis (not to a painted part).
6.6. ATTEMPTING TO START
Use the rotary switch (Position 2 in the overview) to switch on the jump-
start function. Start the motor. Do not operate the starter for longer than 6
seconds. The battery of the power pack is not designed for longer starting
attempts. Pause for at least 5 minutes between two starting attempts. If the
motor does not start after a number of attempts, abort the jumpstart process
and investigate the cause of the defect.
6.7. REMOVING THE POWER PACK
Switch off the jump-start function with the rotary switch (Position 2 in
the overview). First disconnect the black (-) pole calliper, coil the cable
and attach the pole calliper to the designated holder. Then disconnect the red
(+) pole calliper, coil the cable and attach the pole calliper to the
designated holder.
Always maintain this sequence.
Recharge the power pack.
6.8. USING AS A 12 V VOLTAGE SUPPLY
The power pack can be used as a 12 V DC source for many devices that can be
operated with 12 V DC and a cigarette lighter plug. Plug the cigarette lighter
plug of the device you wish to operated into one of the 12 V sockets (Position
5 in the overview). The device you wish to operate should not require a
current greater than 10 A. The outlets of the power pack have an automatic
fuse that will deactivate the device at a current greater than 10 A. If the
unit is switched off, immediately disconnect the power pack from the device to
be operated. After approximately three minutes, the fuse will free the outlets
for use.
Calculation example for operating time as a direct current source:
Battery capacity of the power pack: 18 Ah
Power consumption of the connected consumer (example): 2.5 A
18 Ah/2,5 A = 7,2 h
Operating time/result: 7.2 h (hours)
(These values are, of course, only guidelines and refer to a sound, completely
charged battery.)
6.9. USING AS A USB CHARGER
You can also use the power pack as a USB charger. To do this, connect your
smartphone, MP3 player, etc. to the USB output (Position 7 in the overview).
Switch on the USB output with the switch (Position 8 in the overview), the
control light below the USB output lights up. After charging, turn off the USB
output and remove your device from the USB output.
7. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
