Additional Service - Farad Super3 Owner's Manual

Additional service

Like all other, electrical devices need maintenance. The device heatsink needs to stay free of dust.
Some parts are subject to wear, especially when they get hot. Also parts like capacitors have a
long but limited life-time. Farad power supplies is build and tested very thoroughly but we (and
nobody) can't rule out a part going defective, a circuit going into failure or out of bias. With Farad
power supplies devices we therefore recommend to service the device (and any other electrical
device) at least every 2 years.
Please contact us at info@Faradpowersupplies.com if you like to have more information about
servicing equipment, to make an appointment or if you are not sure when the device did have its
last service.
Replacing the fuse
It is possible to replace the fuse for a high-end version. This will improve detail and precision.
For replacing the fuse you need to remove the upper half of the cover of the power supply. For
removing the cover you need to unscrew the upper two screws at the front and the upper two
screws at the backside.
Please only do this if you know what you are doing, otherwise we strongly recommend to let it do
by a qualified technician. Our dealers or Farad power supplies technicians are always willing to
help you with the replacing free of costs when the supply is taken to our workshop.
WARNING: Please be absolutely sure the power cord is removed from the power supply before
unscrewing and lifting the cover
WARNING: Super capacitors contain a lot of charge and will keep this charge long after the de-
vice is powered off. Making any shorts inside the device can result in injury and serious damage
to you and the device. So always take care not to touch anything except the fuse itself.
WARNING: When the fuse is blown out, please take the power supply to a qualified technician, a
Farad power supplies dealer, or Farad power supplies directly. It probably indicates a failure and
the need for service. Replacing the fuse for a new one and starting the device up again might
result in even worse damage, dangerous voltages in the device and even fire.
