APS-100 Power Supply
It is important that you closely follow the wiring instructions contained in this Owners Manual so that you
get the most from your PowerBass AutoSound power supply.
∆ Caution ∆
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating higher then “Live Concert” levels of sound pressure. Continued
exposure to excessively high volume sound levels will cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while listening
to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as horns, warning signals, or emergency
vehicles—thus creating a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety, PowerBass USA highly recommends listening at lower volume
levels when driving.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the APS-100. To reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to person or equipment; carefully read the following
before you use the power supply. Please read all cautionary markings on both the APS-100
and on the product that you will connect to the power supply.
WARNINGS
• This product is not recommended for outdoor use.
• Do not expose the power supply to excessive moisture.
• This product is not intended to be used as a stand alone battery charger. lt is designed for the
purpose of providing supplemental power when a DC power generator isn’t available.
• Do not connect the APS-100 to a battery that is deeply discharged. The initial high level of current
draw will force the power supply into current limit mode for prolonged periods. This type of use is
harmful to the power supply.
• When used as a supplemental power supply, the APS-100 will not damage connected batteries.
When a connected battery reaches a fully charged state, the APS-100 will decrease its output current to a safe level by degree.
• Make sure the power supply is securely mounted to avoid injury or damage to the unit.
• The power supply should be operated only from a standard AC outlet that provides 120V AC/60Hz
(220V AC/50Hz APS-100x), as indicated on the label.
• Do not overload AC power outlets to avoid danger of electric shock and fire. A minimum current of
20A will be required.
• Avoid using extension cords.
• The power plug is polarized for safety. Do not defeat the ground feature.
• Do not block or cover the power supply’s cooling fan openings to avoid overheating.
• Unplug the power supply during lightning storms to avoid power surge damage.
• If your unit should require service or new parts contact the manufacturer. Do not attempt to service
the unit.
