AC Power input
The Farad power supplies Super10 has a Furutech FI-09 NCF IEC C14 power input.
Be sure to only use power cables with the same connectors. There can be a large
difference in sound between power cables, tuning them definitely will improve the
power supplies performance. Farad supplies a range of power cables for even better
performance of the Super10. Please see our website for more information about this.
The transformer of the Super10 have been checked for polarity, and are connected
such that with the phase connected to the (L) IEC connector pin the residual
transformer leakage voltage is minimum. This can be very important when installing
high-end equipment. If all devices are tuned for the lowest residual leakage voltage,
normally sound will get more open en detailed, giving a wider stage. Still it is
recommended to always try out different polarities, since it is not always absolute
science.
The Super10 is configured for a certain AC outlet voltage and frequency as it is
manufactured. This is 100-120Vac/50-60Hz (115 at the back, figure 1, position 6) or
220-230Vac/50Hz (230 at the back, figure 1, position 6). Do only use the power supply
unless you are sure the stated voltage and frequency matches with the AC voltage
and frequency coming from you AC outlets.
Should you move your power supply to a country with other voltages or frequencies, it
is possible to reconfigure the power supply to these voltages. Do not attempt this
change of configuration yourself, unless you are fully qualified. Inside the Supoer10
are lethal high voltages, which only must be handled by fully qualified personnel.
Like all power supplies, Farad power supplies are always active when the AC is
plugged in. This means there is voltage on most circuits internally, and voltages are
present and standby.
If you are away for a long time it is a sensible precaution to turn the power supply
totally off by unplugging the AC cable.
First use
Take care the Trigger mode and earth connection are made properly. Plug in the
power cord in the IEC connector (figure 1, position 7) and the other end in an
appropriate AC outlet. The led will flash blue and red a couple of times, and after that
starts fading on and off red, it is charging the supercapacitors. The LED will turn solid
blue after the supercapacitors are fully charged and the supply output gets active. This
will take normally about 15-30 seconds depending on output voltage.
If the LED does not light up at start up, or behaves strangely press the RES button at
the back.
If the LED flashes red after charging, the device is in “error mode”, please see chapter
Error to find out what might be the problem.
If the LED turns on faded blue, the supply is in trigger mode and standby.
