    Off/bad Not relevant and other connected outputs. Once the voltage becomes good, the FDEx2 will ensure the voltage remains good for a set period (TIMESAVE™) before reconnecting power to the compressor and other connected outputs. A minimum OFF period is essential in allowing compressor gases to neutralise, ensuring that the mains have stabilised before re-connection and avoiding a locked rotor condition, however, any prolonged off time can affect cooler efficiency and or the contents of the cooler.
