Lanzar OPTICAP120 Installation Manual

SPECIFICATIONS

Model: OPTICAP120

12F Hybrid Super Cap (carbon and electronic capacitor)
With Blue Digital Voltage Display, Blue LED Row In Front

Capacitance .................................……...... 12,000,000 micro farad (12 Farad)

Working Voltage ...............................…….….. 16DC

Surge Voltage .......................................……… 18DC

E.S.R. (Equivalent Series Resistance)------ 0.0015 ohm @120hz/ 25°C
Capacitance Tolerance------------------------ ± 10%

DETAILED FEATURES:

a) 3 digits hi-end blue light display DC voltage meter that can measure 0.1

DCV range.

b) 3 digits hi-end blue light display DC amperage meter that can measure 1

DCV range.

c) Reverse pole connecting PCB buzz warning function. If the capacitor is

connected incorrectly by reversing the positive and neg ative wires during
the installation process the PCB will issue a 45 second noise to warn you.

d) Blue flash LED line on the front side of HYBRID SUPER CAPACITOR.

The LED flash light status follow power discharge signal to jump.

e) Over voltage limit and low battery voltage limit warning. When the system

voltage peeks over 17.5 DCV or LESS than 10 DCV. The buzzer on the
PCB will issue an audible noise warning.

f) Multiple small capacitance capacitors linked to provide the lowest inner

E.S.R. and largest moment discharge power.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING:

You must first attach the mounting tabs to the capacitor before mounting it.
Use the supplied hardware shown in the picture to the right. Notice the small
mounting screw hole in the capacitor chassis.

CHARGING THE CAPACITOR AND WIRING:

The capacitor must be charged before connecting the Power and Ground
cables to the capacitor. Failure to charge the capacitor will result in a large
spark generated from the rapid inflow of current.

To Charge the capacitor:

1. Make Capacitor positive terminal connections with amplifier and
tighten the bolt. Do not over-tighten the bolts!

Caution:

2. Connect the ground cable with battery, amplifier, then refer to the

terminal of the capacitor and the battery’s positive terminal. Do this for
30 seconds or until the charging bulb goes out.

Caution:

the connecting wire. And connect the positive cable o f the battery
directly to the positive terminal on the capacitor.

The charging bulb will get hot!

DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR:

WHEN YOU WANT TO MOVE THE CAPACITOR FROM ORIGINAL
INSTALLED CAR AUDIO SYSTEM, YOU MUST FIRST FOLLOW
DISCHARGING PROCESS AFTER TAKING OUT THE CAPACITOR
FROM THE CAR AUDIO SYSTEM.

To Discharge the capacitor: With battery power disconnected, place the light
bulb or resistor across the capacitor’s positive and negative terminals until
light goes out or for three minutes if using a resistor.
