DETAILED FEATURES:

3 digits hi-end blue light display DC voltage meter that can measure 0.1 DCV range.

Reverse pole connecting PCB buzz warning function. If the capacitor is connected incorrectly by reversing the positive and
negative wires during the installation process the PCB will issue a 45 second noise to warn you.

Hi-end platinum plated 100% brass solid parts and chrome plated metal cover

Over voltage limit and low battery voltage limit warning. When the system voltage peeks over 17.5 DCV or LESS

than 10 DCV.

Multiple small capacitance capacitors linked to provide the lowest inner E.S.R. and

largest moment discharge power.

The buzzer on the PCB will issue an audible noise warning

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING:

You must first attach the mounting tabs to the capacitor before mounting it. Use the
supplied hardware shown in the picture below. 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 the Capacitors positive terminal connect with the amplifier then tighten the bolt. Do
not over-tighten the bolts!

Caution:

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

3. Place the supplied charging bulb between the positive terminal of the capacitor and the

battery’s positive terminal. Do this for 2 ~ 3 minutes or until the charging bulb goes out.

Caution:

4. Immediately take out the charging bulb from the connecting wire after the charging process.
Connect the positive cable of the battery directly to the positive terminal on the capacitor.

Stripped terminals are not covered under the capacitor’s warranty.

The charging bulb will get hot!

DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR :

When you want to take out the capacitor after you finish the installation process from
original car audio system, you must follow this discharge process. It will then be safe to
release the power of the capacitor.

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.
