Power Supply SounDigital EVO
The SounDigital power supply/charger is designed on a
SMPS Technology platform (Switched Mode Power
Supply), performing the conversion of the 110~220VAC
energy to DC tensions of 12V to 14.4V. Its PWM
technology (Pulse-width Modulation) allows it to work
with excellent efficiency, low heat and stable tension
which is not possible with the traditional linear
transformer power supplies.
Power Input:
The power supply comes with a 3 x 1.5mm² power cable
which should be connected to its standard IEC power
connector.
Output Voltage Selection:
The power supply has an adjustable output voltage,
from 12VDC - 14.4VDC, 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.
Output Connector:
The power supply has an extremely robust output
connector, made with solid metals and resistant to high
current.
Voltmeter:
The output voltmeter of the SounDigital power supply
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.

INTRODUCTION
Warning!
ŸTo prevent injuries to the user or damage to the
power supply, read all the safety instructions written
on this manual;
ŸIf 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;
ŸBefore proceeding with the installation of any
electric equipment on your vehicle, unplug the
negative (-) terminal of the battery .
ŸUse your sound system safely, exposure to
continuous sound pressure over 85 dB may cause
irreversible hearing loss.

Connection to the Electrical Network:
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 4mm² cables for 220V and 6mm² 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 circuitry, it has an internal fuse. If
this fuse is ever to burn, the replacement should be
made by an authorized SounDigital tech assistance. For
more information on our authorized tech assistances,
visit www.soundigitalusa.com.
Install your power supply in a proper and solid way.
Avoid installing it in metallic parts of the vehicle.
Avoid installing the power supply on acoustic
boxes or places with intense vibration.
The proper working of SounDigital power supply
relies on the quality of the electrical network where
its connected. When connected to 110V networks,
the tension should be higher than 100V. When
connected to 220V networks, the tension should
be higher than 190V.
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.
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.
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.
