Operating Instructions
FPPS 12-18 W 2.5 PLUG-IN POWER ADAPTER
Item No. 2264178
Intended Use
The plug-in power adapter is used as voltage supply for office and low-voltage information
electronic devices with a suitable DC socket.
The plug-in power adapter is constructed in safety class 2 (protective insulation) and may
only be connected to and used on a standard household mains voltage from 100 - 240 V/AC.
Due to the wide input range, world-wide operation is guaranteed. The output provides a direct
current voltage (DC) that is electrically isolated from the mains. The polarity of the output plug
is predetermined and can not be changed.
The current draw of the loads must not exceed the rated current of the plug-in power adapter.
If exceeded, the plug-in power adapter may overload. If the plug-in power adapter overloads,
e.g. due to a short-circuit or excessive continuous current draw, the output will be shut off to avoid
damage. After removing the overload, the plug-in power adapter can be put into operation again.
Do not use the product under adverse ambient conditions. Unfavourable ambient conditions are:
• Damp or excess air humidity
• Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents
• Thunderstorms and storm-like conditions.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture,
e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use
the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In
addition, improper use can result in short circuits, fires, electric shocks or other hazards. Read
the instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Make this product available to third
parties only together with its operating instructions.

Safety Instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on
proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal
injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) General Information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts,
high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• Never touch the device with wet or moist hands. There is danger of
a life-threatening electric shock.
• On industrial sites, the accident prevention regulations of the association of the
industrial workers' societies for electrical equipment and utilities must be followed.
• The device will become warm during operation. Ensure there is sufficient
ventilation provided; do not cover the housing!
• The outlet must be located in direct proximity to the device and easily accessible.
• Always lay the connection cables so that nobody can trip over or become
entangled in them. There is a risk of injury. The cables may not be pinched, kinked
or damaged by sharp edges.
• Never switch the device on immediately after it has been taken from a cold into
a warm environment. Condensation that forms might destroy your device under
unfavourable conditions. Allow the device to reach room temperature before
switching it on.
• The plug-in power adapter is not designed for application to human beings or
animals.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician
or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Connected devices
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
Commissioning
Regularly check the technical safety of the device e.g. for damage to the housing.
• The polarity cannot be changed. The plug has the set polarity
"inside plus (+), outside minus (-)".
• Make sure the load is switched off when you connect it to the plug-in power adapter.
Connect the plug-in power adapter's DC plug to the DC jack on the low-voltage load.
• Plug the plug-in power adapter into a standard household mains socket. The plug-in power
adapter will indicate correct operation with a light.
• To disconnect the consumer load from the plug-in power adapter, proceed in reverse order.
