User Manual

Introduction

Dear customer
Thank you for choosing a COUGAR® power supply unit. Before the installation please read the manual below carefully. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service:

Warnings and safety notes
Never open the PSU cover. There is a potential danger to life due to the high voltage inside. The PSU should only be opened by an authorized technician. The manufacturer warranty will be void if the PSU is opened by an unauthorized person.
Do not work on the PSU or the PC as long as the main voltage is still connected.
Switch the I/O button to position “0” and disconnect the power plug from the power network.
Protect the PSU against moisture.
The PSU is suitable for operation at 100-240V~/50-60 Hz and thus universally usable. The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°. Please ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the entire system.
Make sure during the installation of the PSU that the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not clog the ventilation slots of the PSU. Keep your PC away from direct heat sources such as radiators.
When using an extension cord and/or multiple sockets pay attention to the maximum through-connection ability in order to avoid short circuits.
During the operation of the PSU pay attention to the maximum loads. The single loads and the total loads must not exceed to cross the values shown in the output power table.

Avoid the use of adapters, such as 4Pin Molex to 6+2Pin PCI-Express or SATA to 4Pin Molex.

Installation/Accessories

Before you begin with the installation, please read the section “Warnings and safety notes.”
For the arrangement only use the supplied screws since these have the correct thread. You need a screwdriver for the correct arrangement.

The following parts are included in the delivery:

• Screws for the PSU assembly
• Power cord (Please only use the power cord which is included; low-quality cords can damage your PSU and your PC system.)
• Brief instruction including. Information about the warranty

Installation of the COUGAR® PSU:

• Place the PSU into its designated place within the case and fix it with the supplied screws.

• First insert the plugs for the mainboard supply (20/24 pin, 4 pins, and possibly 8 pin – according to mainboard layout) into the respective slots.

• Connect the disk drives and if necessary the graphics cards to the PSU. • Close the PC and ensure that the PSU power switch is set to the position “0”.
  

• Connect the PSU to the power network using the supplied power cord. Using only the power cord provided in the package. The low-quality power cords may damage the PSU and PC system!

• Turn on the PSU and then start your PC.

Safety functions

• OCP (Overcurrent protection)
  If the current on a single line is higher than indicated, the PSU automatically switches off.

• UVP (Under voltage protection)
  If the voltages fall below a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.

• OVP (Over voltage protection)
  If the voltages increase above a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.

• SCP (Short-circuit protection)
  In the case of a short circuit, this feature prevents damage to the core components of the PSU and its system components.

• OPP (Over power protection)
  If the system is oversized and requires more power from the PSU than it can perform, this protection function is activated.

• OTP (Over Temperature Protection)
  If the temperature is too high, the PSU automatically switches off.

Troubleshooting

Never work on the PSU yourself. Even a long time after its deactivation, life- threatening voltages can still be present in the PSU. Repairs should only be made by authorized specialists.

Working at power sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. If there is smoke, cable damage or intrusion of liquids the PSU has to be immediately disconnected from the power network and must not be put into operation anymore afterward.
Never open the PSU. It contains components, which can show high voltages even after long periods of deactivation.
Again, repairs should only be done by authorized specialists!

Problem: After the installation of the new PSU the system does not start.
Possible solutions:

• Check the power cord and the power supply of the wall socket and/or multiple socket strips.
  Also, check whether the multiple socket strip can supply the necessary power.

• Check all connections within the PC; maybe not all cables are correctly connected.

• Check the components for possible short circuits or defects.

Please also check the other components for compatibility. Often mainboard chipsets are not compatible with all memory and/or graphics card solutions.
Contact the manufacturer of the component to get more information.

If your PSU still does not function even though you have checked the sources of errors mentioned above, please get in touch with our customer service.
