Electrical Connection

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check that the line voltage corre-
sponds to the indications on the appliance rating plate and those of the compressor plate.
This appliance complies with EC directive 89/336 governing radio suppression.
Noise emission levels are maintained below 70 dB(A).

DC Only Wiring

For Direct Current (DC) refrigerators, connect the appliance to the DC distribution center. A
circuit breaker of 15 Amps (maximum) must be used if the system is 12VDC, and 10 Amps
(maximum) if the system is 24VDC. Make sure that proper polarity is maintained at all
times. Check that all grounding systems are in good working order. The appliance must be
wired and grounded in accordance with the ABYC Guideline E9. (See ABYC Guide-
lines E9 pg. 8)

AC/DC Wiring (AC/DC Converter)

If the appliance is equipped with an AC/DC converter, then both AC and DC power may be
used. The converter functions by converting AC power into DC power for the compressor.
When the converter is connected to both AC and DC, and the AC power is on, then the unit
will run on the AC power. However, if the AC power is lost, the unit will run on the DC power.
If both types are to be used, connect the DC wiring to the DC distribution panel, and the AC
wiring to the AC distribution panel, following ABYC guidelines. The converter may be
connected to either AC or DC power only, if so desired.
For the DC wiring, follow the same instructions as stated in the 'DC Only Wiring' section. For
the AC wiring, use a 10 Amp circuit breaker (maximum). Make sure that proper polarity is
maintained at all times. Check that all grounding systems are in good working order. The
appliance must be wired and grounded in accordance with the ABYC Guideline E8.
(See ABYC Guidelines E8, pg. 8)

Portable Unit Wiring

The TPD23/AC models have AC and DC receptacles that are prewired to the unit. The
TPD23 model has only the DC receptacle prewired. The TPD23AC model has both the AC
and DC receptacles prewired.
Each unit comes equipped with the mating connector and cable as required (DC cable with
TPD23 and both AC and DC cables with TPD23AC). These must be connected to their
respective power sources as described in the wiring instructions listed above.
