INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING:
Before using the device read all the instructions carefully.
WARNING
1 - This converter operates when connected to any cigar-lighter socket:
of a car, of a boat, of a Telwin Jump-Start or Speed Start with 12Vdc
output voltage and it supplies an alternating voltage of 230Vac. It
is suitable for powering 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 invert the positive and negative cables of the converter
input.
4 - It is forbidden and dangerous to connect the AC output of the
converter to an AC power supply input.
5 - It is absolutely forbidden and dangerous to connect the converter
and supply electricity to a main supply system in a building.
6 - Using this converter without a proper earth connection could give
rise to dangerous situations.
7 - To guarantee safety against indirect contacts, it is necessary to
insert a dierential switch (RCD) after the converter AC output,
check that the negative battery pole is earthed or connected to the
earth potential, that could be the bodywork, vehicle earth. Connect
the converter chassis to the earth potential, vehicle bodywork
earth using the converter earth clamp. Connect one of the two
phase conductors (which will become the neutral N) of the plug
connected to the converter AC socket to the earthing point; this
connection must be performed in the section of the conductor that
connects the converter AC socket to the RCD device. Connect the
chassis of the user devices to the earthing point via a suitably sized
conductor.
Always seek the assistance of a qualied electrician and check the
local safety regulations to ensure correct installation.
8 - Do not use the converter for long periods with the vehicle engine
switched o; it may discharge the battery completely.
9 - Switch o the appliances connected to the 230Vac socket of the
converter before taking the plug out of the cigar-lighter socket.
10 - 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.
11 - 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.
12 - This converter supplies an alternating voltage of 230Vac; there is a
danger of electric shock. Do not insert metal objects that conduct
electricity into the outlet sockets.
13 -
Keep out of reach of children.
14 - Make sure that the converter ventilation slots are not obstructed
during use; the surrounding temperature should be between 10°C
and 40°C.
15 - Do not leave the converter in the sun when in operation.
16 - Protect it from water.
17 - It is not suitable for powering appliances designed to produce heat
such as: hairdryers, coee machines, irons, electric stoves, toasters
etc.
18 - Do not use the converter near inammable material or in places
where inammable gas or fumes have accumulated such as in
vehicles near the battery seating.
19 - Do not use the converter in a dusty environment or in the presence
of lings or shavings.
20 - Do not open the case of the converter for any reason whatsoever.

When the converter has triggered due to overload the output will
automatically be switched o; to restore operation it is necessary to
reduce the absorbed power.
INSTALLATION and OPERATION
Insert the converter plug into the cigar-lighter socket of the vehicle,
of the boat or of the Telwin Jump-Start or Speed Start, making sure
that the voltage is 12Vdc; it is also possible to connect two cables with
corresponding crocodile clips to be attached directly to the terminals of
a 12Vdc battery as shown in g. A, B. Make sure all the DC connections
are locked tightly so as to guarantee a perfect electrical contact. Connect
the apparatus to earth or to the chassis of the vehicle (g. A, B).Turn the
converter switch to the “ON” position. Insert the plug of the appliance
to be powered into the output socket of the converter. 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 o; to restore
operation it is necessary to reduce the absorbed power.
The converter has a protection fuse housed in the car lighter plug which
can break if overloaded; to replace the fuse see g. C. There are more
fuses in the rear part or inside the container see g. D, E, F.
The converter absorbs a very low current; it is however advisable to
disconnect it from the car lighter socket when the vehicle or Jump-Starter
is not used for more than 24 hours.
The converter (300W) is equipped with 2 USB outlets in parallel which, in
total, supply maximum 1A.
