Disconnect Jump leads after use.
Charging Methods Your is provided with either a 30 or In Vehicle Charging System, which remains the best method of recharge. The charging kit is designed to be hard mounted into the vehicle, if installed correctly; this kit will provide a charge rate of up to s. Depending on the unit s requirements and the vehicle s alternator, the charge kit has the ability to recharge the unit within 2 4 hours of driving. Your Blue Apple can be continuously connected to the vehicle charging kit without risk whilst simultaneously providing power for on-board accessories (for example car fridge) if desired. Heavy Duty Charge Kit Fitting Instructions 1. Mount the module fitted with the Anderson plug in the rear of your vehicle close to where you would like your to be located. 2. Run the Twin Core cable under the carpet or kick panel from the engine bay to the location of the rear module 3. Mount the remaining control box under the bonnet as close to the existing battery as possible 4. Connect the 6mm black wire (cable with bare ends) to the positive and negative of your existing battery 5. Connect the 6mm cable to the yellow joiners on both the rear module (mounted in step 1) & the module mounted under the bonnet. 6. Connect the remaining thin black wire to an ignition activated wire (most often found within the loom to the windscreen wiper motor). 7. Start the engine of your vehicle and the voltage should start to increase on the display gauge. 30 Amp Heavy Duty Charge Kit Fitting Instructions 1. Mount the Hella socket in the rear of the vehicle (19mm hole required) 2. Run the 6mm twin core cable under the carpet or kick panel to the engine bay 3. Connect the 6mm cable to the back of the Hella socket mounted in step 2 4. Mount the black control box under the bonnet as close to the existing battery as possible 5. Connect the 6mm twin core (cable with bare ends) to the positive and negative of your existing battery (red to positive and black to negative) 6. Connect the 6mm cable (described in step 2) to the yellow joiners on the black module mounted under the bonnet. 7. Connect the remaining thin black wire to an ignition activated wire (most often found within the loom to the windscreen wiper motor). 8. Start the engine of your vehicle and the voltage should start to increase on the display gauge. Please refer to our main page www.thumper.com.au for installation video's an more. Charging from a 240 Volt source Your can be charged from 240 Volt; however, the charger MUST be regulated or automatic to ensure that the cells are not damaged if accidentally left for extended periods. Simply connect the alligator clamps of your regulated or automatic charger to the via the 175Amp Anderson connector (Positive to the positive terminal, negative to the negative terminal). Chargers should not exceed 14.8 volts as this will result is damaged to the cells and will void the warranty of your unit. * A 240 Volt 12 Volt power supply to run your fridge is not a suitable device for charging. Blue Apple power packs are considered flat at a voltage of 10.5 Volts. When recharging via 240 Volt, the charger should have the ability to fully recharge the unit within 25 30 hours. Longer periods of charging will not result in better performance and may result in damage to the cells, which will affect your warranty. For an accurate reading of your s state of charge, wait for 30 minutes after disconnecting from the charger as this will allow time for any surface charge to fade. Charging from SOLAR Panels Your is compatible to recharge from solar panels, providing they are regulated. Remember that solar panels are capable of producing 19 21 Volts and will damage the cells of the if directly connected to the unit without the use of a regulator. The panel may be connected to any outlet of the in order to recharge. Please check out Solar Panels on our wesbite www.thumper.com.au that are matched perfectly to the s.
Jump starting your vehicle The Blue Apple power packs are spike protected and are completely safe to use on any 12Volt vehicle. The unit is provided with quality jump leads; fitted with a 175Amp Anderson plug, which connect firmly into the unit. Simply connect the jump leads to the unit and directly to your car battery (positive to positive and negative to negative). ** If your vehicle does not start within 15 seconds, stop cranking and wait 30 seconds before repeating the process. Remove the jump leads when not in use. Fitting and using INVERTERS Inverters convert 12volt DC to 240 Volt AC for the running of 240volts appliances when away from power. We now offer a complete range of 240 Volt Inverters visit www.thumper.com.au for further information. Remember to treat you inverter with the same respect as 240 volt household outlets. The use of inverters should be monitored, and used in an environment that is out of reach from young children. * To avoid electric shock, do not operate inverters in the rain or snow. Overloading inverters will cause damage and will void warranty. Never attempt to use an inverter beyond the maximum output capacity, E.G a 300 watt Inverter has a maximum load of 300 watts ONLY. *Check the rating of all appliances before using on your inverter. The inverter may be operated when charging the unit from 12 Volt (vehicle charging); however, it is recommended to not exceed a 500 watt draw when doing so. Do not operate the Inverter when charging from 240 Volts as the increased voltage may result in damage to the inverter. Any Inverter 150 watts or less may be connected via the s Cigarette/Hella outlet. (If a 300watt Inverter is connected to the Cig/Hella outlet then it is recommended to only utilise up to 150 watt draw as an increase draw may result in damage to the outlet). Inverters exceeding 300 watts should be connected via the or 175Amp Anderson connection. *Please feel free to contact Blue Apple for more information regarding the connections and use of inverters with the. The inverter will use power from the unit if left turned on even if an appliance is not in use. The draw is approx 0.5 Amp per every hour left on. It is considered good practice to always switch the inverter off when not in use to ensure both safety and minimise power consumption. The inverter may have a warm up time delay of approx 3 5 seconds when starting up. Always switch the inverter on first then the appliance. Care and Maintenance The is basically maintenance free. However, there are things that can be done to help prolong the life of your. If the unit is not continuously charged through the vehicle (which is the best method of prolonging the life expectancy), then it is recommended to: Always store the in a fully charged condition (12.7Volts or above) Never store the directly on a concrete floor for prolonged periods Recharge the unit approx every 6 12 weeks when in storage Ensure that no inverter or appliance is left on when storing the unit Do not leave the voltage display on as this will eventually discharge the unit Cleaning of your may be done with a damp cloth and with the use of a mild detergent.
