• Integrated noise reduction function for a cleaner signal.
• Independent short-circuit protection for each output, ensuring other outputs remain functional if one experiences a short.
• Constructed from aluminum alloy for a lightweight and portable design.
• Includes an adapter and six DC power cables.

2. Important Safety Information

Please read and understand the following safety precautions before using the Caline CP-02 power supply. Failure to comply may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the unit or connected equipment.

• Power Source: Only use the provided 18V 1A adapter with this unit. Using an incorrect adapter may cause damage or malfunction.
• Environment: Do not expose the unit to water, moisture, excessive heat, or direct sunlight. Operate in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow around the unit. Do not block ventilation openings.
• Servicing: Do not attempt to open or service the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Cables: Ensure all cables are securely connected and free from damage. Avoid placing heavy objects on cables.
• Output Matching: Always match the voltage and current requirements of your effect pedals to the corresponding outputs on the CP-02.

3. Setup Guide

Package Contents:

Verify that your package contains the following items:

• 1 x Caline CP-02 Power Supply Unit
• 1 x 18V 1A Power Adapter
• 6 x DC Power Cables (5.5mm x 2.1mm center-negative)
• 1 x Velcro strip (for pedalboard mounting)

Connecting the Power Supply:

1. Connect the provided 18V 1A power adapter to the IN DC 18V input jack on the Caline CP-02 unit.
2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable AC wall outlet. The power indicator light on the CP-02 will illuminate, indicating it is receiving power.
3. Using the included DC power cables, connect your 9V effect pedals to the appropriate output jacks on the CP-02. Ensure the current requirements (mA) of your pedals match the output specifications of the CP-02.

4. Operating Instructions

Powering Your Pedals:

The Caline CP-02 provides six isolated 9V DC outputs, each with different current capacities to accommodate various effect pedals:

• Two Black Channels: 9V DC @ 100mA (suitable for low-current analog pedals)
• Two White Channels: 9V DC @ 300mA (suitable for moderate-current digital pedals)
• Two Yellow Channels: 9V DC @ 500mA (suitable for high-current digital pedals and multi-effects)

To operate, simply connect your pedals to the appropriate output jacks using the provided DC cables. The CP-02 will automatically supply power once connected to the main adapter and wall outlet. There is no on/off switch; power is supplied when the unit is plugged in.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from all power sources and pedals before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the unit to strong impacts, as this may damage internal components.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Power to Pedals:
  • Ensure the 18V 1A adapter is securely connected to the CP-02 and a working wall outlet.
  • Check if the power indicator light on the CP-02 is illuminated.
  • Verify that the DC power cables are correctly connected to both the CP-02 output and the pedal's input.
  • Test the pedal with a known working power source to rule out pedal malfunction.
• Excessive Noise/Hum:
  • Ensure all cables are properly shielded and in good condition.
  • Verify that the current draw of your pedals does not exceed the specified mA rating for each output. Overloading an output can cause instability.
  • Check for ground loops by ensuring all equipment is connected to the same power strip or outlet.
  • Move the power supply away from other electronic devices that may cause interference.
• One Output Not Working:
  • The CP-02 features independent short-circuit protection. If one output stops working, disconnect the pedal from that output and check the pedal for faults. The other outputs should remain functional.
  • Try connecting a different pedal to the problematic output to determine if the issue is with the output or the original pedal.
