Possible faults in the event of
non-functionality
• If neither of the two LEDs, 5 and 6, light up after
switching on, then the 10 amp fuse 7 on the
Energy Station might have blown. Changing fuses
is described in more detail in the section "Fuses".
• Should an LED light up on the Energy Station after
switching on, but the appliance fails to work, im-
mediately switch the Energy Station off. Check to
ensure that the cable is correctly connected –
and that “Positive” and “Negative“ have not
been switched. If required, also check the fuse in
your appliance, as described in its operating
instructions.
Power supply over the screw
connections
Caution!
Before performing any connections, always check
to ensure that both the appliance to be supplied
and the Energy Station are switched off. Place the
main switch 2 in the “OFF” position (centre position).
In this way you can avoid damage through connec-
tion faults.
Use the screw connections 9 at the rear of the ap-
pliance for 12V appliances requiring a high starting
current for switching on, but which do not otherwise
consume more than 10 A per hour.
Appliances with a high starting current could be for
instance ...
-
12 V vacuum cleaners
- 12 V drilling machines
- 12 V television sets etc.
Although these may not require more than 10 A
in operation, the fuse will immediately blow when
they are switched on. In this case such appliances
cannot be operated on the 12 V/10 A socket 3.
Operate these appliance only by way of the screw
connections 9, as described here.
Carrying out connections using the
banana plugs
1. The screw connections 9 are hollow, to accom-
modate so-called “banana plugs”. If such are
provided on your appliance cable, you can insert
these in the screw connections 9 from the top,
instead of screw-connecting.
Danger!
Extremely high current flows are possible here, ones
that are even capable of heating thick cables to red
hot! Before connecting, check to ensure that the
connecting cable for the appliance to be powered
is suitable for such a connection, so as to avoid
electric shock and the risk of fire.
These high currents are required for the starting of
some appliances. The screw connections 9 are
therefore neither routed by way of a fuse and nor
by way of the main switch 2, i.e. voltage is
continuously present!
For this reason it is imperative to ensure that a short-
circuit cannot be created at the screw terminals,
not under any circumstances!
Carrying out connections with the
bare ends of fixed appliance cables
1. If the cable is permanently connected with the
appliance to be powered, you can simply con-
nect the bare “Positive“ wire (usually red) to the
red screw connector 9.
2. Connect the bare "Negative" wire (usually black
or blue) to the black screw terminal 9.
To do so, unscrew the plastic caps on the screw
terminals 9. Clamp the bare wires underneath
when retightening.
Carrying out connections over a loose
cable
1. If the cable is not permanently connected to the
appliance being powered, but has a bare ap-pli-
ance plug available, first insert the appliance
plug in the socket on the appliance.
