Introduction

Dear customer:

Thank you for choosing a COUGAR

®

 power supply unit. Before the installation please read the 

manual below carefully. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service:

Warnings and safety notes

Never open the PSU cover. There is potential danger of life due to high voltage inside. The PSU 
should only be opened by an authorized technician. The manufacture warranty will be void, if 
the PSU is opened by an unauthorized person.

Do not work on the PSU or the PC as long as the main voltage is still connected. 
Switch the I/O button to position "0" and disconnect the power plug from the power network.

Protect the PSU against moisture.

The PSU is suitable for operation at 100-240V~/50-60 Hz and thus universally usable. The 
ambient temperature should not exceed 50°. Please pay attention to the power de-rating on 
all models with a decrease of 1%/°C starting at an ambient temperature of 40°C. Please ensure 
that there is sufficient ventilation of the entire system.

Make sure during the installation of the PSU that the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not 
clog the ventilation slots of the PSU. Keep your PC away from direct heat sources such as 
radiators.

When using an extension cord and/or multiple sockets pay attention to the maximum 
through-connection ability in order to avoid short-circuits.

During the operation of the PSU pay attention to the maximum loads. The single loads and the 
total loads must not exceed to cross the values shown in output power table. Avoid the use of 
adapters, such as 4Pin Molex to 6+2Pin PCI-Express.

Installation of the COUGAR

®

 PSU:

●   

Place the PSU into its designated place within the case and fix it with the supplied screws.

●   

First insert the plugs for the mainboard supply (20/24 pin, 4 pin and possibly 8 pin – according 

   to mainboard layout) into the respective slots.

●   

Connect the disk drives and if necessary the graphics cards to the PSU.

●   

Close the PC and ensure that the PSU power switch is set to the position "0".

●   

Connect the PSU to the power network using the supplied power cord. Using only the power 

   cord provided in the package. Low quality power cord may damage the PSU and PC system!

●   

Turn on the PSU and then start your PC.

Safety functions

●   

OCP (Overcurrent protection)

    If the current on a single line is higher than indicated, the PSU automatically switches off.

●   

UVP (Under voltage protection)

   If the voltages fall below a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU automatically 

   switches off.

●   

OVP (Over voltage protection)

   If the voltages increase above a certain tolerance value on the single lines, the PSU 

   automatically switches off.

●   

SCP (Short-circuit protection)

   In the case of a short-circuit this feature prevents damage to the core components of the PSU 

   and its system components.

●   

OPP (Over power protection)

   If the system is oversized and requires more power from the PSU than it can perform, this 

   protection function is activated.

Specifications

●   

Operating conditions

   Working temperature: +10°C ~ +40°C 
   Storage temperature: -40°C~+70°C
   Operating humidity (without condensation water): 20%~85% relative humidity
   Storage humidity (without condensation water): 5%~95% relative humidity

Trouble shooting

Never work on the PSU yourself. Even long time after its deactivation, life-threatening voltages 
can still be present in the PSU. Repairs should only be made by authorized specialists.

Working at power sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. If there is smoke, cable damage 
or intrusion of liquids the PSU has to be immediately disconnected from the power network 
and must not to be put into operation anymore afterwards.
Never open the PSU. It contains components, which can show high voltages even after long 
periods of deactivation.
Again, repairs should only be done by authorized specialists!

Problem: After the installation of the new PSU the system does not start.
Possible solutions:

●   

Check the power code and the power supply of the wall socket and/or multiple socket strip. 

   Also check whether the multiple socket strip can supply the necessary power.

●   

Check all connections within the PC; maybe not all cables are correctly connected.

●   

Check the components for possible short-circuits or defects.

Please also check the other components for compatibility. Often mainboard chipsets are not 
compatible with all memory and/or graphics card solutions. 
Contact the manufacturer of the component to get more information.

If your PSU still does not function even though you have checked sources of errors mentioned 
above, please get in touch with our customer service.
