3. Operation
• Power: The refrigerator can be powered by a multi-voltage system utilising either 12/24
Volts or with the included 240V adaptor. The electronic module controls the compressor and has the added function of a three stage battery protection. When the input voltage drops below the minimum. the compressor will cut out; when the voltage comes back up to the cut-in value. the compressor will restart automatically.
• Battery Protection: The SECOP compressor requires approximately 11.0 Volts (12 Volt
System) or 23.0 Volts (24V System) to operate. If the voltage drops below this the fridge will stop running.
• Cable Specification: The DC cables must have a suitable cross-section for their length
(measured from the battery to the unit). according to this table:
Cable Thickness (Area) V Max Cable Length
