Thank you for choosing an interVOLT voltage converter ...
A 24VDC to 12VDC voltage converter is used primarily for connecting auxiliary 12VDC equipment in
a 24VDC wired application. The voltage converter must be sized according to the load connected in
order to ensure good performance, safety and longevity. Listed below are just a few of the features and
benefi ts you have gained in selecting an interVOLT voltage converter.
Intervolt SVC Series Switchmode voltage converters are designed for high demand power requirements
in transport, telemetry, alternative energy applications and the like. They are suitable for powering
a large range of auxiliary 12 VDC equipment including communications, navigation, monitoring,
instrumentation, lighting, refrigeration and much more.
Intervolt SVC's incorporate a range of innovative features including an industry fi rst, micro-processor
controlled operator interface for the control and monitoring of the many SVC functions. This feature is
designed to help trouble-shoot general installation errors and assist in fault fi nding common problems.
Intervolt SVC's are fully protected from typical connection and installation faults by a range of built-in
safety devices. These devices protect the units from reverse connection, short-circuiting, overloading,
high output voltages and high temperatures.
Intervolt SVC's are designed to cope with the demands of the harshest applications and will operate in
high temperature, high humidity environments. They are constructed of quality marine grade materials
and when applied and installed correctly are designed to provide many years of continuous service.
Intervolt SVC's are designed and assembled in Australia and comply with relevant Australian and
international standards for electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC). They are supported by a 100% factory
backed 24 month warranty against faulty components and/or workmanship.
