• Damage may occur if the DC cable supply
is not appropriately sized. This will cause
low voltage. The table below provides rec-
ommended cable sizing from battery to
appliance:
Cable cross
section in
mm² (AWG)
12 V
maximum
cable length
in m (ft)
24 V
maximum
cable length
in m (ft)
2.5 (13) 2.5 (8.2) 5 (16.4)
4 (11) 4 (13.1) 8 (26.2)
6 (10) 6 (19.6) 12 (39.3)
10 (7) 10 (32.8) 20 (65.6)
• When using the appliance ensure the cir-
cuit being used has a fuse or circuit break-
er. The recommended size for DC12V is
10A, DC24V is 5A.
• Make sure that the voltage data on the
type plate matches the existing power sup-
ply. Incorrect mains supply can damage the
appliance. This is especially important for
ACgenerators that can generate voltage
spikes.
• If your appliance is plugged in to a DC ve-
hicle socket, ensure that you disconnect
from power when the vehicle is not in use
to prevent battery drainage.
• Never disconnect the appliance by pulling
the cable instead of the plug.
