INSTRUCTIONS
The converter converts a DC voltage (battery) to another DC voltage.
WARNING
Incorrect connection can damage the converter. The converter's durability will
be reduced if it is used in an overloaded state and/or under ambient temperatures
which are too high for long periods.
The converter is protected against short circuiting with an input fuse.
Do not use fuses larger than those indicated on the converter.
The converter contains dangerous voltages and the cover should not be
removed. All service or maintenance work should be carried out by qualified
personnel who can get assistance by contacting the manufacturer's agent.
CONNECTION
Before connection, check that the battery voltage is the same as the converter's
input voltage (e.g. 24V battery for a 24V input voltage). Also check that the
output voltage satisfies loading requirements.
First connect the battery's negative pole and then the battery's positive pole to
the converter's input. Finally, connect the load to the converter's output.
The battery voltage can be dangerous. Use caution and pay careful attention
when installing the converter. Avoid short circuiting. Voltages above 34 V can
be dangerous.
To minimise any interference and reduce voltage drop in the cables, the cables
for both input and output should be laid in parallel and be as short as possible.
(Recommended minimum cross sectional area for the cable is 2.5 mm².)
For correct connection - see drawing.
PLACEMENT
At heavy load, the converter will dissipate a lot of heat. It should therefore be
sited in a cool and well-ventilated place. Do not site the converter in a moist
place. The linear converters should be mounted onto the chassis of a motor
vehicle to keep the unit as cool as possible.
To avoid discharging the battery, the converter should be disconnected from
the battery when it is not in use.
