Cascade Audio Engineering 45 Power Supply User Manual


 
Your new APS Power Supply can be used with or without an additional bat-
tery. Use of a battery connected in parallel with your APS power supply will
greatly increase the current available for transients. For installations where
use of a battery is not possible, capacitors may be used.
Vehicle Installation
Two methods of vehicle installation are commonly used. One is to mount
the positive and negative battery cables to the vehicle and to place the
power supply under the vehicle when necessary. Ease of connection is
accomplished through use of an additional quick-release type connector such
as that provided with our HK-4 Hook-up Kit (see illustration below).
The other method is to mount the power supply permanently into the vehicle.
In this installation, the power supply is hidden from view behind a panel in the
vehicle. A three prong male weatherproof recessed switchplate (available from
your local electrical supply house) can be mounted to the bottom of the
vehicle allowing use of a standard grounded outdoor extension cord to power
the unit. Installation of a manual-reset circuit breaker in the positive cable
between the power supply and the battery is recommended to prevent bat-
tery drain when the vehicle is stored for long periods of time without being
plugged-in.
DC Output Terminals
Before making any connections, be sure that the AC cord of your APS
Power Supply is unplugged. If installing a battery, disconnect the positive
side of the battery before installation.
Locate the two (2) screw terminals on
the end of the APS Power Supply la-
beled POS and NEG. (refer to the photo;
