time and should NEVER be relied on as sustainable source of power for any life

sustaining equipment.

• Examples of life sustaining equipment include but not limited to breathing

apparatus, life monitoring systems or lung and heart respiratory machines.

• This device is intended for indoor use only. To prevent the risk of re or

electric shock, locate the Device in a temperature (0 – 40 °C) and humidity

controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.

• allow children to touch or handle any part of the Device under any

circumstances.

• repair problematic Devices (except for fuse replacement) on your own.

• Cosmetically change the exterior of the Device, e.g., painting, etc.

2. Product Information

2.1 General

The Volta 500 is an uninterrupted portable power station that can be used to power

selected appliances/devices when the main electricity power fails (i.e., during load

shedding). The changeover from grid to ‘back-up’ power occurs automatically and

once the device is connected to the selected loads requires no input from the user.

The Device consists of a packaged unit that has an integrated battery (Lithium Iron

Phosphate, LiFePO4) and inverter which utilises grid power to charge the batteries

during non-load shedding periods.

The Device has a rated output power supply of 500W and a battery capacity of

1152Wh (@ DOD of 90%) and during outages, can supply uninterrupted back-up

power to appliances with a single load of ≤500W or a combination of appliances

with a collective load of ≤500W for approximately 2½ hours (if batteries were fully

charged).

Examples of typical loads:

• Small non-heat generating house-hold equipment (e.g., medium sized home

entertainment system)

• Oce equipment (e.g., PC, laptop, Wi-Fi Router, small/medium sized printer,

scanner, etc.)

• Charging of mobile connectivity devices (e.g., cell phone, tablet, etc.)

During load shedding, the system will supply back-up power for a time period

dependant on:

• Load/s connected to the Device

• Whether the Device’s battery was fully charged at the time when the power failed

(load shedding)

The Device’s battery, under normal circumstances, should take approximately 5 ½ hours

to fully charge from the point where they were completely discharged.
