  • The total combined load of all ports and sockets must not exceed 180W (192W max peak).

Use Guide

Installation

  1. Ensure your vehicle is turned off or in accessory mode.
  2. Insert the splitter's cigarette lighter plug firmly into your vehicle's 12V/24V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).
  3. The LED voltage display will illuminate, showing your vehicle's current voltage (e.g., 12.6V, 24.2V).
  4. Use the provided Velcro strip to secure excess cable and manage wires neatly.

Using the Cigarette Lighter Sockets

  1. Plug your 12V/24V device (e.g., tire inflator, car vacuum, fridge) into one of the three female sockets.
  2. Press the corresponding independent switch next to the socket to turn the power on. The device will receive power.
  3. To turn the device off, press the switch again. This eliminates the need to unplug the device.
  4. Repeat for other sockets as needed. Each socket can be controlled independently.
Note: Always check the power requirements of your device. Do not plug a device that draws more than 120W into a single socket.

Using the USB Charging Ports

  1. Connect your USB device (phone, tablet, camera) to the appropriate port using a compatible cable.
  2. The built-in smart chip will automatically identify the device and deliver the optimal charging current.
  3. For the fastest charging:
    • Use the USB-C1 port with a USB-C to USB-C cable for compatible laptops, tablets, or phones.
    • Use the USB-A2 port alone for QC3.0 compatible devices.
    • Use the USB-C2 port alone for PD compatible devices.

Understanding the LED Voltage Display

  • The display shows the live voltage of your vehicle's electrical system.
  • Normal Operation: A steady reading (e.g., ~12.5V when engine off, ~14.4V when engine running for a 12V system).
  • Low Voltage Warning: If the voltage drops below 12V (for 12V systems), the display will flash. This indicates a potentially weak battery. Consider starting the engine to charge the battery.

Safety & Maintenance

Built-in Protections

The device includes multiple safety features:

  • Overcurrent/Overload Protection: Automatically cuts power if the draw exceeds safe limits.
  • Overvoltage/Short Circuit Protection: Protects both the adapter and your connected devices.
  • Overheating Protection: Reduces output or shuts down if internal temperature is too high.
  • Replaceable Fuse: A 15A fuse protects the main circuit. Two spare fuses are included.

Replacing the Fuse

  1. Unplug the splitter from the vehicle's power outlet.
  2. Locate the fuse compartment on the main body of the splitter.
  3. Open the compartment and remove the old fuse.
  4. Insert a new 15A fuse (included). Ensure it is seated properly.
  5. Close the compartment and re-test the device.

General Warnings

  • Do not use with household AC power outlets (110V/220V). For automotive DC use only.
  • Do not expose to water or excessive moisture.
  • Do not cover the device during operation to allow for proper heat dissipation.
  • Periodically check the plug, cable, and housing for damage. Do not use if damaged.
  • Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 180W.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible Cause & Solution
No power to any port (LED display off).Vehicle outlet may be dead. Try another outlet. Ensure the plug is fully inserted. Check and replace the main fuse if blown.
Specific cigarette lighter socket has no power.Ensure the corresponding independent switch is turned ON.
USB device is charging slowly.Ensure you are using a fast-charge compatible port and cable. Remember USB-A2 and USB-C2 share power if used together.
LED voltage display is flashing.Vehicle battery voltage is low (below 12V for a 12V system). Start the engine to charge the battery.
Device powers off unexpectedly.Total power draw may have exceeded 180W, triggering overload protection. Unplug some devices. The device may have overheated. Allow it to cool.
Fuse blows repeatedly.The connected load is too high. Reduce the number or power rating of connected devices. Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating.
