1. Mount close to the main or woofer amplifier(s.) MAXIMUM 1 through 1.5F CAP TERMINAL TORQUE IS 50 IN. LBS. OR    6 MM. MAXIMUM 1/2F CAP TERMINAL TORQUE IS 20 IN. LBS. OR 1.6MM. Stripped threads are not under warrantee!
2. Use heavy ground and positive cables with heavy duty 1/4" terminals for the cap posts. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH CAP BODY OR BLOCK VENT HOLE.
3. OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY OF WIRING. Reverse polarity can damage cap and creates a hazardous situation.
4. Seller assumes no liability for damage caused by use of capacitors. NOTICE TO DEALERS: BEFORE ACCEPTING A RETURN FROM YOUR CUSTOMER, CHECK FOR PHYSICAL DAMAGE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARRANTEE FOR STRIPPED OUT THREADS OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE SUCH AS DENTED CAPS. IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE CAP WAS POWERED WITH REVERSE POLARITY, THE WARRANTEE IS VOIDED. As with any electrolytic capacitor, reversing the polarity ( + to - and - to +) will cause the cap to heat rapidly and if power is not removed instantly, the hot electrolyte will vaporize and escape through the gas vent or condense inside the case and will sound like liquid when shaken. (Caps with monitors aid in testing for proper wiring and operation.)
1. Make sure that all amplifier(s) and other audio unit(s) are off.
2. After checking your wiring install 100 ohm resistor and apply power. DO NOT INSTALL ANY SWITCHES BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE CAP- A FUSE SHOULD BE THE ONLY DEVICE!

3. The green LED should lite immediately or voltmeter should steadily climb. If not, TURN OFF POWER, re-check your wiring or electrical system. After the red LED(s) lite, remove the 100 ohm resistor. If the green LED is lit but the red LED(s) do not, check your electrical system..  The red LED(s) will lite when the voltage across the cap exceeds 11 volts. The first red LED lites at 12V (1/2 farad caps), the second at 13V, and the third lites at 14V. Voltmeter should climb to equal battery voltage.
4. Turn on your audio system and watch the red LED as you turn up the volume. If the red LED flickers often, you may need to add another cap. If the red LED slowly turns off and on or stays off until your lower the volume, you should increase the size of your power wiring to the battery.
5. When power is removed from your system, the green LED shows if the cap is still charged. DO NOT WORK ON YOUR SYSTEM UNTIL THE GREEN LED DIMS OUT! IF THE GREEN LED EVER GOES OUT, START THIS PROCEDURE AGAIN AT STEP 1 TO AVOID EXCESSIVE CURRENT!

3. Connect ground terminal permanently. Then touch the trigger wire to the square touch pad on the top of the cap board. Make sure the trigger wire has 12 volts when connected.  Be careful not to touch any other area of the circuit board as this may damage the display and void your warrantee. The display will light and you will be able to see the voltage climb as the cap charges. Please note that when using the charge pad, the voltage will be about 1/2 volt lower than the normal reading. After the charge voltage climbs to at least 8 volts, the trigger wire may be removed and immediately connect the positive wire to the positive capacitor terminal. If you wait too long, the voltage may drain off and should be re-charged. If the voltage will not climb or the display does not light, check for reverse polarity and check your wiring. IMPORTANT: MOUNT YOUR TERMINAL LUGS BETWEEN THE NUTS OR BETWEEN THE NUT AND WASHER. THERE SHOULD EITHER BE A NUT OR WASHER BETWEEN THE CAP PC BOARD AND YOUR WIRE LUG OR CONNECTOR! DO NOT LOOSEN THE BOTTOM NUT, IF BECOMES LOOSE, TIGHTEN IT BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR WIRE LUG OR CONNECTOR! You may remove the plastic stick-on protector after if you wish, but be careful not to short tool from posts to top pc board through holes - the plastic protects the circuitry. If plastic is removed, monitor warrantee is voided.
4. Turn on your audio system and watch the display as you turn up the volume. If the voltage reading drops, you may need larger wiring from your power supply. If you add more capacitors in parallel, remember that you only need the monitor on only one of the capacitors.
5. If you ever lose power to your capacitor repeat steps 3 and 4.
