1. POwer up procedures After installing the capacitor according the directions on the previous page follow these instructions tor powering up and charging the capacitor This procedure is extremely important to perform and eliminates the possibility of damaging the capacitor battery and other audio devices 1 Connect the ground cable to the capacitor terminal 2 Temporarily attach the resistor supplied with the capacitor to the power cable using electrical tape io Secure the connection 3 SEE FIGURE 2 AT RIGHT Holding the power cable securely place the free end of the resistor on the terminal of the capacitor Whibe this is occurring the status LED will be Wluminated and the red decimal point will flicker indicating that the system is charging the capacitor When the capacitor is fully charged the decimal point will no longer flicker and the display will 4 Remove the tape detach the resistor from the power cable and attach the power cable securely to the capacitor terminal p Hagi vE LAT iapirya fhe D raig of poor carn wp 5 Put the resistor in a safe storage location as FUE LEG you will need it in the future when you need to cnr discharge the capacitor CAUTION When you tum off your car stereo power is tumed off to the capacitor and its display will tum off However the capacitor may still hold a powerful charge so always treat it as if it is powered ON even if the display is OFF Pr2. and removal instructions Hever remove this capacitor without discharging the stored power ican give a dangerous electrical shock 1 WATT S1 OHM To discharge the capacitor follow these ingtructions 1 Disconnect the cables from the capacitor in the following onder a positive cable b ground cable c remote tum on cable 2 Holding the resistor provided as shown in the picture to the night on this pape touch the leads to the positive and ground terminals of the Capaciion Wart about 30 seconds and the capacitor will be discharged Then you can safety remove and handle it Installation 1 Install the capacitor as close as possible to your amplifier The ideal location is one which allows for short wiring runs but keeps the capacitors somewhat isolated from any stray heal generated by the amplifier 2 While the capacitor can be mounted in any position using the brackets provided care should be taken to ensure that the venting plug on top of the capacitor is unobstructed This plug is a pressure relief plug for the capacitor s fluid dielectric material should the current polarity be reversed If this was occur fluid will exit from the vent plug at this point the capacitor will require replacement Wiring Guidelines 1 Keep the positive power wire as short as possible and connect it directly to the amplifier s battery supply cable It is highly recommended to use a Migh performance distribution blo
3. ck to create a splice in the battery supply cable Do not install a fuse between the capacitor and the amplifier but make sure there is an appropriate fuse in the main supply cable 2 The ground cable for the capacitor should also be as short as possible and connected directly to a good clean bare metal chassis ground point DO NOT ground the capacitor directly to the amplifier ground terminal or ground cable 3 For the above connections use cable of the same or heavier gauge than those which the amplifier uses High performance 4GA or 8GA OFC oxygen free copper cables are a good choice for this application 18GA wire is suitable for the remote tum on connection SUGGESTED WIRING

5. ly on demand is a logical addition to your audio system In addition this capacitor can filter out the AC voltage induced in the amplifier s power supply Unchecked this voltage can cause DC noise in the sound system It is recommended to use a capacitor with a minimum of one microfarad 1F for each 1000 watts of amplifier power you can never have too much capacitance for any audio system The OSS capacitor features a digital voltage display The power capacttor s role When connected to power tha capacitor system is generally in standby mode i the voltage drops below the normal level the capacitor will automatically tem on ensuring a stable voltage and current is provided to the connected amplifier Although the usual concem which motivates a user to install the capacitor system is voltage drops due to a powerful connected amp producing loud bass signals other automotive equipment and accessories can also cause this In any case the capacitor will help to ensure stable voltage for your entertainment system Reverse polarity protection feature if the polarity of the connections to the capacitor is reversed damage to your entertainment or vehicle electrical system can result To eliminate this threat we have incorporated a relay system within the capacitor design which will disable the capacitor and trigger a burzer to sound The capacitor system will only be able to be tumed on if wiring is connected properly Power down
