6-12 VOLT - CONVERTER
Type 2238.02
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. WARRANTY CLAIMS ARE VOIDED FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
1. Introduction
The intended purpose of the voltage converter is to generate 12V DC from a 6V DC
power source. This allows powering 12V DC devices with a maximum current
The converter is activated by a car relay, with the control input powered via the ignition switch
(terminal 15), ensuring the converter only operates when the ignition is on, preventing battery
drain through idle current.
This device is designed for car systems with negative ground (chassis). The converter is intended
for wall mounting (installation position is indicated on the device housing). At full load, the
converter produces approximately 30W of heat, which needs to be dissipated. Ensure adequate
airflow around the device during installation. In poor installation positions, the device is protected
from overheating by a thermal switch, which reduces the output voltage to match the input
voltage. If a poor installation position is unavoidable, avoid drawing maximum current.
Due to high current from battery devices, keep cables short and proper gauge. (wires supplied are
6 gauge/4mm and 12 gauge/1.5mm) for the input/output circuits.
The device has E1 approval for vehicle installation.
