4.4 Maitinimo jungtis

The AKO Duo Power Xi 8000 can be powered by either 230 V mains or a 12 V battery.

4.4.1 230 V Mains Operation

  1. Plug the 230 V mains power adapter into the designated input on the energizer.
  2. Plug the adapter into a standard 230 V AC wall outlet.

4.4.2 12 V Battery Operation

  1. Connect the red battery connection cable to the positive (+) terminal of a 12 V deep cycle battery.
  2. Connect the black battery connection cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 12 V deep cycle battery.
  3. Plug the other end of the battery connection cables into the designated 12 V input on the energizer.
  4. Kad akumuliatorius veiktų optimaliai, įsitikinkite, kad jis visiškai įkrautas.
