Model: PLCAPE30 3 FARAD DIGITAL CAPACITOR WITH RED DISPLAY ) Capacitance ...……... 1,200,000 micro farad Working Voltage ...…….….. 21DC Surge Voltage ...……… 24DC E. S. R. (Equivalent Series Resistance) ..…….. 0.0012 ohm @ 120hz/25 Capacitance Tolerance …………………..…… ±10% We recommend at least 1 Farad of capacitance per 500 watts of amplifier output. This is a general rule of thumb and may be adjusted up or down depending on the efficiency and design of the amplifiers being used.

To Charge the capacitor: 1. Make your connections from the Capacitor positive and negative output terminals to the amplifier(s) positive and negative terminals. Do not over-tighten the bolts on the Capacitor! Caution: Stripped terminals are not covered under the capacitor’s warranty. 2.

DISCHARGING THE CAPACITOR: WHEN YOU WANT TO MOVE THE CAPACITOR FROM THE ORIGINAL INSTALLED CAR AUDIO SYSTEM. YOU MUST FIRST DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR USING THIS PROCESS BEFORE REMOVING THE CAPACITOR FROM THE CAR AUDIO SYSTEM. To Discharge the capacitor: With the battery power disconnected, place the light bulb or resistor across the capacitor’s positive and negative terminals until the light goes out or for three minutes if using a resistor.
