Connecting the cooler

Connecting to a battery (Vehicle or boat)
The cooler can be operated with 12 V or 24 V DC.
e Caution – Danger of damaging the device!
Disconnect the cooler and other consumer units from the battery
before you connect the battery to a quick charging device.
Overvoltage can damage the electronics of the device.
For safety reasons the cooler is equipped with an electronic system
to prevent the polarity reversal. This protects the cooler against
short-circuiting when connecting to a battery.
® Plug the 12/24-V connection cable (Fig. 1 2, page 3) into the
DC voltage socket and also into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V
or 24 V socket.
Connecting to a 120 V AC mains
e Caution – Danger of electrocution!
Never handle plugs and switches with wet hands or if you are
standing on a wet surface.
e Caution – Danger of electrocution!
If you are operating your cooler on board a boat from a mains con-
nection of 120 V AC, you must install a residual current circuit
breaker between the 120 V AC mains and the cooler.
Seek advice from a trained technician.
CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60
The coolers CF-35, CF-40, CF-50, CF-60 have an integrated multi-
voltage power supply with priority circuit for connecting to an AC
voltage source of 120 V. The priority circuit automatically
switches the cooler to mains operation, if the device is connected
to a 120 V AC mains, even if the 12/24 V connection cable is
still attached.
When switching between the AC mains and the battery supply,
the red LED may light up briefly.
