5. Operation

5.1 Powering On/Off

After completing the installation, ensure the main power switch on the back of the power supply is in the "ON" (I) position. You can then power on your computer using its case power button.

5.2 Eco Mode

The Hydro PTM Pro features a semi-fanless Eco Mode. When enabled, the power supply fan will remain off until the system load exceeds approximately 30%. This provides silent operation during low-power tasks.

To activate Eco Mode: Locate the "ECO" switch next to the main power switch on the rear of the power supply and set it to the "ON" position.
To disable Eco Mode: Set the "ECO" switch to the "OFF" position. The fan will operate continuously based on temperature.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and longevity, periodically clean your power supply:

Ensure the power supply is completely powered off and unplugged from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Use compressed air to gently remove dust from the fan grille and ventilation openings.
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.

6.2 Environmental Protection

The FSP Hydro PTM Pro features a proprietary conformal coating that protects internal components from dust, humidity, and stains. This allows the power supply to reliably operate in environments with up to 95% relative humidity. While this coating offers enhanced protection, it is still recommended to operate the power supply in a clean, dry environment for best results.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power supply, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
System does not power on.	AC power cord not connected. Power supply switch is off. Loose cable connections. Faulty component.	Ensure AC power cord is securely plugged into the PSU and wall outlet. Flip the power switch on the PSU to the "ON" (I) position. Check all modular cable connections (motherboard, CPU, GPU, peripherals). Test with minimal components (motherboard, CPU, one RAM stick) to isolate the issue.
System powers on but immediately shuts down.	Overload or short circuit. Overheating. Faulty component.	Verify total system wattage does not exceed PSU capacity. Check for any loose screws or metal objects causing a short circuit. Ensure proper airflow within the PC case. Disconnect non-essential components and test again.
Fan is not spinning (Eco Mode off).	Fan malfunction. Insufficient load (if Eco Mode is on).	Ensure Eco Mode switch is in the "OFF" position. If Eco Mode is off and the fan still doesn't spin under load, contact support.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact FSP customer support.
