Easy Installation Guide

1. Prepare wires: Strip 10 mm from each lead.
2. Input Connection:
   • Red → 48V Positive
   • Black → 48V Negative
3. Output Connection:
   • Yellow → 12V Positive
   • Black → 12V Negative
4. Secure Wiring: Press lever terminals until wires are firmly held.
5. Test Output: Power on and verify voltage (~12V) using a multimeter.

Best Practices for Optimal Performance

• Use 14 AWG or thicker wire for full 5A loads
• Keep total power draw under 60W continuous
• Mount vertically with terminal side facing down to avoid water ingress
• Avoid using in permanently submerged conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this converter handle LED lighting projects?

Yes. It easily powers 12V LED strips, up to 60W, from a 48V source.

Q: Is it suitable for marine applications?

Absolutely. The IP67 rating makes it safe for outdoor and marine use. Rinse after saltwater exposure.

Q: What if input voltage drops too low?

The device will automatically shut off if the input drops below 35V to prevent instability.

Q: Does it work with lithium batteries?

Yes—works with 48V lithium (LiFePO₄, Li-ion) and lead-acid battery systems within the 35–60V range.
