RFC10HB – 10 FARAD HYBRID CAPACITOR Installation & Operation Serial Number: Date of Purchase:
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Rockford Fosgate Hybrid Capacitor.The Rockford Hybrid Capacitors, also known as Electric Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) or Super Capacitors, are passive electrostatic energy storage devices.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This symbol with “WARNING” is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death. This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or unit damage. CAUTION: To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
DESIGN FEATURES The following features are the results of the unique patented manufacturing process that enables the Rockford Hybrid Capacitor to deliver many charge and discharge cycles with greater energy and power per unit weight and volume. High Energy The amazingly high specific capacitance and lower weight of Rockford's Hybrid Capacitor yields an energy per kilogram figure that is twice that of any other commercially available Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC).
INSTALLATION This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new Rockford Fosgate Hybrid Capacitor. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments. CAUTION: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.
INSTALLATION ATTENTION: Make sure the battery and all other power sources are disconnected. ATTENTION: When installing high voltage audio equipment, such as capacitors and amplifiers, we recommend using “full-spec” AWG (American Wire Gauge) type wire for your power and ground wires. CAUTION: Ensure correct polarity during the following connections. Failure to do so may cause damage to the unit when power is applied.
INSTALLATION NOTE:If a reverse polarity has been connected to the capacitor, a warning buzzer will sound when power is applied. Immediately disconnect the capacitor from power, ensure it has been discharged and reconnected to correct polarity. 3. Connect the Blue wire from the charge card to the Positive (+) power wire leading to the capacitor module. It is highly suggested that you place a fuse before the capacitor.
INSTALLATION DISPOSING OF HYBRID CAPACITOR CELLS A Rockford Hybrid Capacitor cell contains hazardous material, such as Acetonitrile (ACN).You must follow federal, state, and local laws when disposing of failed or aged cells. For more information, contact the Customer Support department of Rockford Corp. 1-800-669-9899. Capacitor modules that have reached their end-of-life can be recycled. Rockford Corp. will take back capacitor modules that need to be recycled.
