Getting started
The SUPER3 is a top level low noise dual linear regulated supercapacitor power supply. It is capa-
ble of delivering 3A of continuous 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 over 85.000uF of standard electrolytic capacitors
-
Always over 1F of supercapacitors, running up to 2.5F for lower voltage outputs
(see table I, page 11)
- Low noise output regulator, post filtered with a Hf pi-filter with ultra-low ESL 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@Faradpow-
ersupplies.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 dam-
age 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 will show break in behavior the first 200 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.
