SETUP GENERAL Note! - Your refrigerator requires good ventilation, especially around the vents of the refrigerator; allow a gap of at least 200mm around the vents. Caution! -Humidity inside the appliance can form frost and impair cooling. Do not allow frost to build up. Never clean the appliance using a hose and never submerge the unit in any liquid. Avoid placing your refrigerator near a heat source. This helps the refrigerator to work more efficiently and keep the contents cool. Place the refrigerator on a flat surface and away from any edges. When using the fridge in a vehicle, please use a fastening device to secure it. Caution! - The appliance can only be connected to one power source at a time. Note! - Water resistant rating IPX4. Note! - Suitable for camping use. ELECTRICAL Power: The electronic control module controls the compressor motor and includes three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum, the compressor will cut out; when the voltage rises to the cut-in value, the compressor will restart automatically. Battery Protection: The Secop Compressor requires approximately 10.6Volts(12Volt System). Note: The early warning alarm will sound off every 4 seconds for 30 minutes before the compressor shuts off. If an alternative power source is not found, the early warning alarm will sound off every 8 seconds for 30 mins until the unit has no more power. CABLE SPECIFICATION The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length, according to this table: Cable Area 12V Max Cable Length* 24V Max Cable Length* Note! The length is from the battery to the refrigerator. 4
