INSTRUCTION MANUAL (GB)
WARNING:
Before using the device read all
the instructions carrefully.
WARNING
1 - This converter operates when connected to any cigar-
lighter socket: of a car, of a boat, of a Valex Polaris 1000
or Polaris 1500 with 12Vdc output voltage and it supplies
an alternating voltage of 230Vac. It is suitable for powe-
ring electrical and electronic appliances such as power
supplies for: mobile phones, computers, cameras, video
cameras, lighting devices etc...
2 - Do not power at 6Vdc or at 24Vdc
3 - Do not use the converter for long periods with the
vehicle engine switched off; it may discharge the battery
completely.
4 - Switch off the appliances connected to the 230Vac
socket of the converter before taking the plug out of the
cigar-lighter socket
5 - Replace the fuse only and exclusively with fuses of the
same size. Using fuses taking more current may cause
permanent damage to the converter and the cigar-lighter
socket in the vehicle.
6 - Make sure that the contacts in the cigar-lighter socket
of the vehicle are clean and dust-free; imperfect electrical
connections may produce harmful, dangerous heat at
the contact point.
7 - This converter supplies an alternating voltage of
230Vac; there is a danger of electric shock. Do not in-
sert metal objects that conduct electricity into the outlet
sockets.
8 - Keep out of reach of children.
9 - Make sure that the converter ventilation slots are
not obstructed during use; the surrounding temperature
should be between 10°C and 40°C
10 - Do not leave the converter in the sun when in ope-
ration.
11 - Protect it from water.
12 - It is not suitable for powering appliances designed to-
produce heat such as: hairdryers, coffee machines, irons,
electric stoves, toasters etc...
13 - Do not use the converter near inflammable material
or in places where inflammable gas or fumes have accu-
mulated such as in vehicles near the battery seating.
14 - Do not open the case of the converter for any reason
what so ever.

When the converter has triggered due to overload the

INSTALLATION and OPERATION
Insert the converter plug into the cigar-lighter socket of the
vehicle, of the boat or of the Valex Polaris 1000 or Polaris
1500, making sure that the voltage is 12Vdc. lnsert the plug
of the appliance to be powered into the output socket of the
converter. This converter is able to supply a continuous power
output of 70W and a peak power of 100W. The inside of the
converter contains an overload relay that triggers when the
maximum available power is exceeded. When the converter
has triggered due to overload the output will automatically be
switched off; to restore operation it is necessary to reduce the
absorbed power.
The converter is fitted with a 10A safety fuse, which is situa-
ted in the cigar-lighter plug, and this could blow in the event
of overload; to replace the fuse see the fig. A. The converter
absorbs a very low current; nevertheless, we advise discon-
necting it from the cigar-lighter socket if the vehicle or Polaris
remains unused far aver 24 hours.
