Imp rtant Safety Instructi ns
T is manual contains important safety and operating instructions. To reduce
t e risk of fire, electric s ock, and injury to person or equipment; carefully
read t e following before you use t e power supply. Also, please read all
cautionary markings on any product t at you will connect to t e power supply.
Warnings:
• T is power supply is not recommended for outdoor use
• Do not expose power supply to excessive moisture
• Fuse all connected devices as recommended by t e manufacturer
• T is power supply is not intended for use as a battery c arger. Connecting
to a deeply disc arged battery can cause t e supply to go into current
limit mode and can damage t e power supply
• T is supply can be used alone or in conjunction wit a battery or multiple
batteries. If used wit a battery, t e output will be automatically adjusted
depending on battery condition to avoid battery damage
• Batteries s ould not remain connected to t e c arger for extended
periods of time
• T e power supply s ould be operated from a standard 110V or 220V
50Hz~60Hz AC Outlet (as indicated in model number). A minimum of 20
Amps will be required
• If required at a later date, t e input supply voltage can be c anged as per
instructions in t is manual
• Avoid use of extension cords
• T e power plug is polarized for safety, do not modify t e power plug.
• Do not cover or block t e power supply's cooling fans
If your unit s ould require service,
contact your dealer. Do not attempt
to service t e unit.

C nnecting the P100A P wer Supplies
Cau n: Make all c nnec ns bef re y u c nnect the p wer supply t AC p wer
1. Assure t at t e device requiring power is turned off
2. Assure t at t e power supply switc is turned off
3. Assure t at t e Master/Slave switc is set to Master (see instrucons
below for strapping mulple supplies)
4. Set t e output voltage selector to t e required voltage (13.5 volts for
most car electronics)
5. Connect t e volt meter if you will be using it
6. Connect t e Posive, and t en t e Negave power cables from t e
device to t e power supply. USE Extreme Cauon and assure t at t e
posive and negave power connecons are correct, as reversing polarity
may well damage bot t e power supply and t e device being powered.
T e connected device s ould be fused as per t e manufacturer's
recommendaon
7. Aer double c ecking items 1~5, connect t e A/C cord to a correct
standard 110B or 220I power receptacle, depending on t e power supply
model
8. Flip t e power switc to t e ON posion and t e blue LED will lig t to
indicate t e powered up condion
N tes n the Operati n f the P100A P wer Supplies
Master/Slave Switch: W en using a single P100A supply, t e Master/Slave
switc must be set to Master or t e Supply will go into protect and t e red LED
will lig t.
Included V lt Meter: Your package include a panel mount volt meter. You can
plug t e meter's cable into t e Volt Meter port in t e supply's control end plate.
Temperature C ntr lled Fans: T e fans will stay off until temperatures reac
50⁰C (120⁰F), w en t ey begin to cool t e unit. If t e temperature s ould ever
exceed 75⁰C (167⁰F) t e unit will go into t ermal protection until t e unit cools
to operating temperature.
Over Current: If t e device connected requires more t an 16Volts, or more
t an 100 Amps of current to operate, t e power supply will sense t is and go
into protect and t e red protect LED will lig t.

Interference: T e Zapco power supplies are ig power switc ing supplies and
as suc may cause some interference to TV or radio reception. If you experience
t is you s ould turn t e power supply off and move it furt er away from t e
receiving device.
C rrect Input V ltage: Your P100A supply is set for to t e proper input voltage
for t e country in w ic it was first sold. If you s ould move or need it c anged
for some ot er reason, you may contact your Zapco Dealer of Zapco directly
about modifying your unit.
Using P wer Supplies with Batteries
T e Zapco power supplies can be used in combination wit a battery or batteries,
depending on t e usage requirements. Batteries s ould be 12 volt automotive
type. Hig er voltage commercial batteries s ould not be used and will put t e
supply into protection. Multiple batteries must be connected in parallel.
For safety, t ere s ould be a 100A fuse at t e output of t e power supply and a
fuse of manufacturer's recommended amperage at t e amplifier.

Using Multiple P wer Supplies
Up to four P100A power supplies can be strapped to provide more DC current if
required by t e powered device. Eac supply will add 100 Amps to t e circuit for a
maximum of 400 Amps. T e first supply in suc a circuit must be set to Master. All
following supplies are set to Slave, t en t e Master supply's voltage control will set
t e voltage for all t e supplies.
See ab ve: Using t e supplied connecting cables, t e control OUT of #1 goes to
t e IN of #2. OUT of #2 goes to IN of #3, etc. Only Supply 1 is in Master mode, all
ot ers are in Slave mode.
