GETTING STARTED

Installation

Please check whether the parts of Fridge/Freezer are complete after unpacking.
Note

Place the unit in a dry place which is protected against splashing water. Do not place directly adjacent to
sources of heat (heating, gas ovens, hot water, pipes or under the blazing sun).
The normal operation of the appliance requires heat to be radiated away from the condenser located at the
end of the cabinet. Adequate airﬂow is required around the compressor at all times. (Fig. 1).
The cooling system has been designed to operate correctly when the appliance is positioned on angles up
to 30 degrees. It is recommended that the time the of unit is exposed to angles over 30 degrees is limited
to a maximum of four (4) hours continuous operation. (Fig. 2).

Application and Operative Cooling Range

The cooling compartment has varying temperature zones. The values indicated on the digital display are related to the middle of the cabinet. The Single Zone Fridge/Freezer is designed to either refrigerate or freeze food. The Fridge/Freezer may be used for outdoor, use such as for camping purposes.The Fridge/Freezer is designed to operate in ambient temperatures from -18°C to +10°C(0°F to 50°F) in a maximum air humidity of 90%. The Fridge/Freezer can operate continuously at an angle of 30° maximum.

Power Requirements

The Fridge/Freezer is designed to operate on AC or DC voltage.

Connect with 110-120V via AC adapter
DC input 12V or 24V DC (e.g. car cigarette lighter or car battery)
If the Fridge/Freeze is operating when the vehicle ignition switched OFF, the Fridge/Freezer will switch OFF automatically when the power source voltage falls below the Battery Monitor cut-out setting.
The Fridge/Freezer will automatically switch back ON when the vehicle is re-started and the power source voltage reaches the Battery Monitor cut-in setting.

Operating your Fridge/Freezer with 12/24V DC

Plug the 12V/24V DC power cable into the DC POWER socket (as circled) on the end of the Fridge/ Freezer and then connect to the vehicle cigarette lighter s ocket or a suitable 12V or 24V DC power source.
The refrigerator has a memory function. If you do not actively turn off the power, the Fridge/Freezer will automatically turn on after reconnecting the power, there is no requirement to switch the appliance on.
The display will automatically show the current internal cabinet temperature.
For optimum performance and efﬁciency, it is important that the Fridge/Freezer has a reliable DC power source. It is recommended that connect the battery in directly and reduce the risk of voltage dropping to the appliance.
Use only the 3.5m DC power cable supplied with the Fridge/Freezer.

IMPORTANT

If a DC extension cable is required we recommended use of a 6mm dia. (AWG11) 4.58mm TwinSheath Two Core cable with direct connection to the positive and negative battery terminals with 15A inline fuse protection.
The Fridge/Freezer is equipped with an electronic control system that will prevent polarity reversal. In the event that the battery connection is reversed the unit will not start or operate. The power input socket is fitted with a 15A blade fuse for protection.

12/24V DC Power Requirements

If your Fridge/Freezer is cutting out prematurely, it could be due to:

The low voltage protection being set too high on the Battery Monitor.
DC power cable and/or connections are not suitable to carry the required current. Check the power cable and all connections and adjust the Battery Monitor on the control panel.
- The Fridge/Freezer is equipped with a multi-level Battery Monitor that protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the Fridge/Freezer is connected to 12V or 24V DC power source.
  IMPORTANT: When using the Fridge/Freezer with DC power supply, we recommended setting the Battery Monitor to LOW (L).
  NOTE: A battery charger may only be connected to the battery when the Fridge/Freezer has been disconnected from the DC power source.
- Over-voltage may cause damage to the electronics of the Fridge/Freezer.
- Your Fridge/Freezer is equipped with reverse polarity protection. It protects your Fridge/Freezer against reverse battery connection and short circuit.
- As a protection for your battery, the Fridge/Freezer switches OFF automatically if the power source voltage is insufficient.
  NOTE: It is important that the correct cable size and gauge is used for the installation of the DC supply as over distance the voltage can decrease if the incorrect cable size and gauge cable is being used.
- Always consult a qualified automotive electrician when using a DC extension cable.

OPERATION OF SINGLE ZONE SERIES (RV45S)

OPERATION OF RV45S

BATTERY MONITOR

The device is equipped with a multi-level battery monitor that protects your vehicle battery against excessive discharging when the appliance is connected to 12/24V supply.
If the appliance is operated when the vehicle ignition switched off, the appliance switches off automatically as soon as the supply voltage falls below a set level.
The appliance will switch back on once the battery has been recharged to the cut in voltage level. Push, hold and release SET button until the desired setting is reached

Battery Protection	Input Power: 12V	Input Power: 24V
LOW	When 9.6V, it’s off; when 10.9V, it’s on.	When 21.3V, it’s off; when 22.7V, it’s on.
MID	When 10.1V, it’s off; when 11.4V, it’s on.	When 22.3V, it’s off; when 23.7V, it’s on.
HIGH	When 11.1V, it’s off; when 12.4V, it’s on.	When 24.3V, it’s off; when 25.7V, it’s on.

CUT IN / CUT OUT

Your fridge has built in battery protection and needs a minimum 10.9 V to start and 9.6 V to continue operating.
During operation a load is placed on the power supply and voltage can drop by as much as 2 V, especially if the wiring in insufﬁcient (less than 6mm direct to battery) or if there is a loose connection somewhere.
If this occurs when you try and start your SetPower and the power supply drops under 10.9 V it will not start. If this occurs when your SetPower is running and the power supply drops below 9.6 V it will stop.

COMMON 12V POWER SUPPLY ISSUES

Wiring
Often the standard wiring from the car battery to the 12V outlet is too small.
A minimum 6mm automotive wiring should be used and the earth should bewired directly back to the battery.
Battery
The car battery could be old, undersized or have a dead cell causing too much voltage drop.
Connections
The 12 V plug, car 12 V socket or any of the connections between the fridge and the battery could be faulty or have come loose since installation.

POWERING ON

Connect to the desired input voltage and press the button to turn the unit on, the display show the current internal cabinet temperature.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

The Temperature Controller provides the ability to set the desired temperature level and displays information on the cabinet and set temperature.

When your appliance is first connected to AC or DC input the digital read out will show the current cabinet temperature, to adjust the temperature follow these steps:
To increase the cabinet temperature press and to decrease press until the desired level is reached.
Once selected the display will flash a number of times before returning to the current temperature. The electronic controller has been programmed to maintain an average of the set temperature. The compressor will start up when the internal cabinet temperature increases 0.5 to 1.5 degrees above that selected and will run until the temperature is 0.5 to 1.5 degrees below the set temperature.

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION OF RV45S SERIES

When the appliance is on, press theand SET buttons at the same time to switch back and forth between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

ECO/MAX FUNCTION
