INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer
Congratulations on acquiring your SounDigital!
You’ve just purchased a product of high quality and technology. The SounDigital products are developed to assure maximum efficiency and reliability to your sound system.

Important Info
Read this manual and follow its instructions and information carefully. It contains extremely important information to have your amplifier working properly. If you feel the need to contact our Tech Support, you can reach our technicians through the e-mail. [email protected].

We recommend the use of SounDigital original accessories for a batter performance. The crossovers, amplifiers and voltmeters offered by SounDigital follow the same quality standards as our amplifiers, assuring an excelent quality and high power sound system to our customers.

Warning!
This “Warning” sign alerts the user of important info. Not following this instructions may cause injuries to the user or damage to the equipment.

• To prevent personal injuries or damage to the power supply, read all the safety instructions written on this manual;
• If you have questions about the installation of this equipment, get in touch with our tech support or with a professional specialized in car audio installation;
• Before proceeding with the installation of any electric equipment on your vehicle, unplug the negative (-) terminal of the battery to avoid fires, injuries or damages;
• Use your sound system safely, exposure to continuous sound pressure over 85 dB may cause irreversible hearing loss.

Power Supply/Charger HV EVO
The HV EVO Power Supplies were designed on an SMPS Technology platform ( Switched Mode Power Supply ), performing the conversion of the AC 110 or 220V energy to DC 115V-260V (FT-260 HV EVO ) or DC 275V-375V (FT – 375 HV EVO). Its PWM technology (Pulse Width Modulation) allows it to work with excellent efficiency, low heating and stable voltage which is not possible with the traditional linear transformer power supplies.

Power Input
The HV EVO Power Supplies come with a 3 x 16AWG power cable with 3.3ft (1mt) of lenght and standart NEMA 5-15 plug (USA) or CEE 7/7 plug (EU).

Output Voltage Selection
The HV EVO Power Supplies have an adjustable output voltage,115V-260V (FT-260 HV EVO) or 275V-375V (FT375 HV EVO that can be set with an external variable potentiometer located on the side of the product. This adjust is continuously variable which means you can set any number within this range. It’s important to point out that when you use it to recharge the batteries, the voltage should be equal or higher than 13.5VDC per battery. To adjust the output voltage, turn off the circuit breaker and adjust in the following way:

Voltage = Battery Quantity X Charge voltage
Example:
Voltage = 20 batteries x 14.4V = 288V

Output
Use always good quality 100% copper cables (6mm²/13AWG or higher). If you plan on using CCAW cables, please use at least double the size.

Voltmeter
The output voltmeter of SounDigital power supply the shows the voltage of the power supply output.
When there’s no charge connected to the power supply, it helps you to adjust the output voltage through its potentiometer. In case it is already connected to any charge (such as batteries or amplifiers), it shows the voltage of this given system. The voltmeter can start working for two reasons:

• When the Power Supply is connection to the power grid its power cable. In that case, the voltmeter will remain on for about one minute after the power supply is disconnected;
• When the REM connection is powered with a +12VDC signal. This connection allows you to use the power supply voltmeter even when the power supply is not connected to the electric power grid. You only need to connect the REM terminal of the power supply to the remote of the sound system.

INSTALLATION

Connection to the Power Grid
To connect the power supply/charger to the power grid, use the cable that comes with the product. Make sure the wall socket where it’s being connected is 20A and that it can take the current needed. Avoid using multi plug adaptors on the power supply cables as it may overheat the connections or cause loss of efficiency. In case you need to use power extensions from the power supply to the power grid, use the shortest cable possible with a diameter compatible to the system. We recommend the use of power extensions with 11 AWG cables for 220V and 9 AWG for 110V and a length not longer than 80ft to assure the power supply works properly. The SounDigital power supply has an automatic input voltage selection system, then connected to the wall socket, it automatically selects the voltage. As a protection to its circuit, it has an internal fuse. If this fuse is ever to burn, the replacement should be made by an authorized SounDigital tech assistance.

Installation

• Choose a ventilated place to install your power supply and avoid obstructing the side vents;
  

• Install your power supply in a proper and solid way.
  Avoid installing it in metallic parts of the vehicle;
  Warning!
  Be careful when making holes in the vehicle. Verify if you’re not making holes in the fuel tank, brake lines or electrical cables of the vehicle.

• Avoid installing the power supply on acoustic boxes or places with intense vibration;

• Install the 3-phase C10A circuit breaker in the positive cable from the batteries in series, as it follows:
  
  Warning!
  The protection fuse or circuit breaker must be installed at a max distance of 30 cm (1 foot) from the battery.

• The proper working of SounDigital power supply relies on the quality of the electrical network where its connected. When connected to 110V networks, the voltage should be higher than 100V. When connected to 220V networks, the voltage should be higher than 190V;
  Warning!
  This product has some internal parts with potentially dangerous voltage. Therefore, the power supply should never be open by the user in order to avoid electric shock, even when disconnected from the power grid.

• Recharge the batteries of your sound system with SounDigital power supply some hours before making use of it. It assures the batteries will be well-charged and your system will have better efficiency. Repeat the procedure after using your sound system. Recharge the batteries for a few hours. By doing so, you’ll not only get the max power out of your batteries, but will also extend their lifespan;

• To avoid unwanted noise in the system, join all the ground points of the audio equipaments into a single point;
  

• Plan the cables passage properly. Keep the RCA cables used for the amplifiers together, but separate from the tension input and output cables, as well as the power supply cables or the output cables from the audio, electric and electronic equipment, such as fuel injection and electric engines;

• When passing cables through metal walls, use rubber O-rings to avoid cable cutting and short circuits.
