Changing the DC output cable during operation
When comparing DC output cables, it is best to use the reset button at the back side.
When the reset button is pushed, the Farad Super10 enters the start-up sequence
(fading red led) and during this time the output is de-activated, so no voltage is
present anymore. In this time take out the connector at either the supply or the load.
There now is no coupling anymore and the cable can be removed safely for both
devices.
Now connect the new DC cable to either the supply or the load. Push the reset button
again and during the start-up sequence (red fading led) make the connection to the
other device. When the led turns blue again, the Super10's output voltage comes up
controlled again and everything should work with the new cable.
Replacing the fuse
The Super10 is delivered with a high-end version fuse. This improves detail and
precision, and overall performance of the power supply. For replacing the fuse you
need to remove the top cover of the power supply.
The Super10 needs a 6.3A slow blow 5x20 mm fuse for the 230Vac version and a 10A
slow blow fuse for the 115Vac versions.
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 device 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.
