Using Solar Panels; Using Portable Generators - Primus PRI45LM User Manual And Product Specifications

Using your Fridge/Freezer with accessories

USING SOLAR PANELS

The power consumption and effi ciency of your Fridge/Freezer makes it ideal to be used in
conjunction with solar panels to provide recharging of the DC supply. Solar panels will provide
charge into the battery during the daylight hours even while the appliance is operating.
As the output from solar panels changes depending on the level of sunlight and intensity, your
Fridge/Freezer cannot be connected directly to the solar panels. The appliance must be connected
to a suitable DC battery and then the solar panels connected to the battery.
We recommend the use of the Primus range of Portable Solar Panel Kits from 60 to 120 watts for
use with your Fridge/Freezer.
You cannot connect the Fridge/Freezer directly to the solar panel as it will not work.
Connection must be via the battery.

USING PORTABLE GENERATORS

It is important that the correct generator is used with your Fridge/Freezer. An incorrect generator or
output may result in reduced performance or damage to your Fridge/Freezer which may void your
appliance warranty.
If connecting directly to an AC generator, ensure that only a digital or inverter type generator is
used. These provide a more reliable and constant 240V AC output and are specifi cally designed to
power electronic and other power sensitive appliances.
Primus recommends the use of Kipor Digital Inverter generators to provide AC power to your
Fridge/Freezer when in remote locations.
Most generators are fi tted with a DC output - DO NOT connect your fridge directly to the DC output
of the generator as this will result in damage to your appliance and void warranty.
It is recommended that the appliance remains connected to the DC power source. Then using
the DC output of the generator connect this to the battery to recharge it. It is important that you
monitor the battery being charged, ensuring that an oversupply of charge is not being provided to
it causing damage.
You cannot connect the Fridge/Freezer directly to the DC output of the generator as it will
not work. Connection must be via the battery.
