Pyle PLCAPE30 User Manual

Model: PLCAPE30
3 FARAD DIGITAL CAPACITOR WITH RED DISPLAY )
Capacitance .................................……............. 1,200,000 micro farad
Working Voltage ...............................…….….. 21DC
Surge Voltage .......................................……… 24DC
E. S. R. (Equivalent Series Resistance) ..…….. 0.0012 ohm @ 120hz/25
Capacitance Tolerance …………………..…… ±10%
We recommend at least 1 Farad of capacitance per 500 watts of amplifier output. This is a
general rule of thumb and may be adjusted up or down depending on the efficiency and design of the
amplifiers being used. There is no harm in having more than enough capacitance.
DETAILED FEATURES:
a) 4 digital 8 RED display voltage meter that can measure 0.01 DCV range.
b) Blue Light PCB
c) Over voltage limit and low battery voltage limit warning. When the system voltage peeks over
17.5 DCV or LESS than 10 DCV. The buzzer on the PCB will issue an audible noise warning.
d) Reverse pole connecting PCB buzz warning function. If the capacitor is connected incorrectly
by reversing the positive and negative wires during the installation process the PCB will issue
a 45 second noise to warn you.
e) Lowest E. S. R. 24 DCV foil with maximum moment discharge power in lowest E.S.R..
f) Hi-end chrome/black chrome/satin nickel plated finish solid capacitor casing.
