User manual BOSS CHAOS WIRED CW600

[. . . ] The overall bass response of your system will be enhanced by using this device. Since automotive batteries are not designed to deliver the current required by modern car audio systems, a capacitor such as this one, which is capable of discharging extremely rapidly 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 audible noise in the sound system. It is recommended to use a capacitor with a minimum of one microfarad (1F) for each 500 watts of amplifier power. (you can never have too much capacitance for any audio system). The capacitors feature a digital voltage display. Features Your new power capacitor system features the following: · 3-digit, super bright blue LED voltage meter · Voltage measurement accurate to +/- 0. 1VDC · Blue illuminated window with light following playing music · Automatic sleep status when volume is low or there is no voltage variation present · Warning tones for the following detected conditions: > Reverse polarity connection > Over-voltage limit (above 17VDC) > Low battery voltage (below 10VDC) CHAOS WIRED CW600 · CAP18 · CAP30 User's Manual - page 2 General precautions Before installing and using your new capacitor, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. · Do not open or attempt to repair this unit yourself. Dangerous high voltages are present which may result in electric shock. Connect the positive terminal only after following the instructions for charging the capacitor on page 8. CHAOS WIRED CW600 · CAP18 · CAP30 User's Manual - page 6 Electrical connections for CHAOS WIRED CW600 Make all wiring connections as shown in the diagram, but do not attach the incoming positive cable to the capacitor positive terminal. Connect the positive terminal only after following the instructions for charging the capacitor on page 8. CHAOS WIRED CW600 · CAP18 · CAP30 User's Manual - page 7 Charging the capacitor As noted earlier, make all connections according to the diagram(s) on the preceding pages EXCEPT for the POSITIVE (+) connection to the capacitor. To charge the capacitor, follow these steps: 1) Pick up the cable coming from the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal. 2) Place the supplied charging resistor between the end of this cable and the positive terminal of the capacitor. During charging, the voltage shown in the 3-digit display will rise rapidly, then slow as it approaches the voltage of your vehicle's battery. When fully charged, the displayed voltage will stop rising. If you have a voltmeter, you can first measure the voltage of your car battery. [. . . ] If you have a voltmeter, you can first measure the voltage of your car battery. Then you will know with accuracy that the capacitor is fully charged. CAUTION!!During charging, the resistor will become hot. [. . . ]
