Trouble Shooting - Farad Super3 Owner's Manual

Trouble Shooting

Most problems in audio systems are the result of poor or wrong connections or cabling. Always
check if the mains power connector and the DC power connector are plugged in tight and cor-
rectly. Also check if the cables are functioning properly, and there are no loose wires. When not
sure, try a different cable, and see if this solves the problem.
Below are some common failures. If you encounter another problem, or the below solutions do
not solve the problems, please contact your dealer, or contact us directly at info@Faradpower-
supplies.com.
Front LED does not light up (in any color), or strange vague signalling
Microprocessor needs reset. Press reset switch at position 3 for two seconds.
If this does not help, there is no AC mains power on the power supply. Check if mains cables and
power cables are plugged in tight and correctly, and if AC voltage is present at the wall outlet.
If this is the case and led still does not light up, please go to your Farad dealer or contact Farad
power supplies directly.
There is no output voltage, and no red error led
DC output cable is not properly plugged in the power supply or the device where the power
supply is connected to. Also check if the right connector is used, for example a 2.5 mm DC barrel
connector on a 2.1 pin input will probably not work.
Front LED stays fading red and does not turn blue at startup
Error in the super capacitor charging circuit, please go to your dealer or contact Farad power
supplies directly.
Front LED flashes red
Error detected. LED flashes a number of time and then is off for 3 seconds, then flashes again.
The number of flashes (1 to 8 times) indicates the error. Disconnect the DC power connector and
reset (position 3), if the error re-occurs, contact your dealer, or Farad directly at info@faradpow-
ersupplies.com. If the error is solved, please check the device on which the SUPER3 is connected,
probably there is a problem there...
