Getting started
The Super10 is a top level low noise dual linear regulated supercapacitor power
supply. It is capable of delivering a maximum of 10A current at its rated voltage output.
Operating features
-
Double regulated super capacitor linear power supply
-
High inductance double shielded toroidal power transformer
-
Pi-filter supply input with up to 25.000uF of standard electrolytic capacitors
-
Always over 4.5F of supercapacitors, running up to 16F for lower voltage
outputs (see table 2, page 12)
-
Low noise output regulator, post filtered with a Hf pi-filter with ultra-low ESR
foil capacitors
-
Fully microprocessor controlled protection against short circuit, over- and
undervoltage, reversed voltage, over-temperature and surge currents.
A few precautions
Please read this manual carefully. In addition to the installation and operating
instructions it gives more information about how to use this power supply optimally in
your (audio) system. Please contact your Farad power supplies dealer, or Farad
power supplies directly at info@Faradpowersupplies.com if you have any questions or
comments about our products.
Be sure to keep the original sales receipt of your power supply. It is your best record of
the date of purchase, which you will need in the event warranty service is ever
required. When you have any problems with our equipment, please always let us
know the serial number which can be found on the backside of the power supply (see
figure 1, position 8).
Placement
Some parts of this power supply can get hot. The heatsink and enclosure of the power
supply are designed to dissipate this heat. Any obstruction of this dissipation can
result in damage, or damage to devices near or connected to the power supply. There
should be at least 10 cm or 4 inches of clearance around the power supply. Do not
place any flammable material, like wood, plastic, cloth or anything else, directly above
the power supply. Take care there is enough space for air to freely flow around the
power supply. Take care the shelf or cabinet the power supply is placed in are stable
and capable of supporting its weight.
Breaking in
Like all devices in audio, the Farad power supply and cables will show break in
behavior the first 500 hours on AC voltage. The character and quality of this supply will
show immediately, but will improve during this period. Sound will become more tight,
more at ease and fluent. Always keep this in mind when evaluating the power supply
during this period.
