DC Power Connection
The DualZone Freezer/Refrigerator is supplied with a
power cord tted with a cigarette lighter tting. It is
recommended that this lead is not lengthened as this
may result in a voltage drop and reduced performance.
When connecting the appliance to DC power ensure
that the power socket is switched “off”. Plug the
power cord into the DC socket on the appliance and
then plug the other end of the power cord into the DC
supply and switch on.
For optimum performance & efciency, it is important
that the appliance has a reliable 10amp fuse protected
DC supply in good condition. Direct connection to the
battery is recommended and reduces the risk of voltage
dropping to the appliance.
It is recommended that the correct sized Automotive
Electrical Cable is used for the direct connection and
that this includes a 10amp fuse; do not use resetable
circuit breakers. It is important that the correct cable
size is used for the installation of the DC supply as
over distance the voltage can decrease if the incorrect
sized wire is being used.
Distance Wire Gauge
4.5m or less 2.1mm2 (AWG14)
4.6m & over 3.3mm2 (AWG12)
Using Solar Panels
The power consumption & efciency of your
DualZone Freezer/Refrigerator makes it ideal to be
used in conjunction with solar panels to provide
recharging of the DC supply. Solar panels will
provide charge into the battery during the daylight
hours even while the appliance is operating.
As the output from solar panels change depending
on the level of sunlight & intensity, your DualZone
Freezer/Refrigerator cannot be connected directly to
the solar panels. The appliance must be connected
to a suitable DC battery and then the solar panels
connected to the battery.
We recommend the use of the Primus range
of Portable Solar Panel Kits from 40 to 120 watts
for use with your DualZone Freezer/Refrigerator.
