The power capacitor's role When connected to power, the capacitor system is generally in "standby" mode. If the voltage drops below the normal level the capacitor will automatically turn on, ensuring a stable voltage and current is provided to the connected amplifier. Although the usual concern 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 buzzer to sound. The capacitor system will only be able to be turned on if wiring is connected properly. Power-down and removal instructions Never remove this capacitor without discharging the stored power - it can give a dangerous electrical shock! To discharge the capacitor, follow these instructions: 1. Disconnect the cables from the capacitor in the following order: a) positive (+) cable b) ground (-) cable c) remote turn-on cable 2. Holding the resistor provided as shown in the picture to the right on this page, touch the leads to the positive (+) and ground (-) terminals of the capacitor.Wait about 30 seconds and the capacitor will be discharged. Then you can safely remove and handle it. I WATTISI OHM RESISTOR (supplied) Do nd bold resistor as it can get and cause bums! Discharging the capacitor 5
