Output Voltage - Farad Super3 Owner's Manual

The SUPER3 also is factory configured for a certain voltage output. This output is mentioned at
the back, see figure 1, position 3. Always check and double check that this output voltage matches
the voltage input of the device it will be connected to. If these do not match connecting the power
supply can result in permanent damage of the device it is connected to. Farad power supplies
refuses every liability for damage to equipment due to an incorrect connected DC output voltage.
Current rating of the Farad power supply should be higher than the factory recommended cur-
rent. If the manufacturer does not give this value, it can be calculated from the power figure, as
max current = max power / rated voltage. If this does not work, it also can be obtained by reading
the original adapter. Please keep in mind adapter values are mostly very overrated, so mostly will
give a far too high value.
If you are not sure, you can always try out with a Farad power supply, it is fully protected, so
nothing will be damaged if too much current will be drawn. If it works it is ok. If you don't feel safe
about us, please ask your dealer, or directly at Farad, we are there to help you!
The power supply has a gold plated GX16-4 output connector. We have connected the output to
pin 1 and 3 and the minus to pin 2 and 4.
The quality of the output cable can make a good improvement on the quality of the system the
power supply is connected into. We provide three types of DC output cables:
1) Standard cable, 4 wire tin plated 18 AWG wires with standard connectors. This cable is
standardly included within the price of the SUPER3
2) Level 1 upgrade. This cable is also 18 AWG tin plated copper, but with shielding and gold-
plated connectors
3) Level 2 upgrade. This cable uses 4 of our own non inductive mil spec 16 AWG tin plated
teflon isolated copper wires and uses Oyaide output connectors
All cables are standardly available in with 5.5/2.1 or 5.5/2.5 mm DC barrel connectors. Any other
connector (within normal prices) will be delivered at request, but only in combination with the
level 1 and level 2 upgrade.
Change of output voltage
If you want to use the SUPER3 at a different output voltage, it is possible by reconnecting the
transformer and replacing the supercapacitor module. Please contact your dealer, or Farad pow-
er supplies directly for price and availability.
