Product Features
- Isolated Outputs: 10 independent DC outputs prevent unwanted noise and hum between pedals.
- Versatile Power Options: Provides 9V, 12V, and 18V DC outputs to accommodate various pedal requirements.
- Short-Circuit Protection: Each output is independently protected against short circuits. A fault in one output will not affect others.
- LED Indicators: Bright blue LEDs indicate the operational status of each output. They turn off if a short circuit occurs.
- Compact and Durable: Constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy, making it lightweight and robust for portability.

Setup Instructions
- Connect the Power Adapter: Plug the included 18V DC power adapter into the "DC 18V IN" jack on the CP-05 unit. Then, plug the adapter into a standard AC wall outlet.
- Power On: The blue LED indicators above each output will illuminate, indicating the unit is powered on and ready for use.
- Connect Pedals: Use the provided DC power cables to connect your guitar effect pedals to the appropriate output jacks on the CP-05.
- Outputs 1-7: 9V DC, 100mA each
- Output 8: 9V DC, 500mA
- Output 9: 12V DC, 100mA
- Output 10: 18V DC, 100mA
- Check Polarity: Most guitar pedals use a center-negative polarity. The CP-05 outputs are standard center-negative. If a pedal requires center-positive polarity, use one of the included polarity reversal cables.

Operating Instructions
Once connected, the Caline CP-05 operates automatically. The blue LEDs indicate that power is being supplied to the connected pedals. Ensure that the total current draw of your pedals does not exceed the maximum current rating of each individual output.
- LED Indicator Function: A lit blue LED indicates normal operation for that output. If an LED turns off, it signifies a short circuit or overload on that specific output.
- LED Switch: A switch located near the DC 18V input allows you to turn the blue LED indicators on or off. This can be useful in dark environments or to conserve minimal power.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the power supply in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly organized to prevent damage or accidental disconnections.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power adapter and cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged components immediately.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to pedals / No LEDs lit. | Power adapter not connected or faulty; wall outlet not active. | Ensure the 18V DC adapter is securely connected to the CP-05 and a live wall outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| One or more LEDs are off. | Short circuit or overload on that specific output. | Disconnect the pedal from the affected output. Check the pedal and cable for faults. If the LED illuminates after disconnecting, the issue is with the pedal or cable. Reconnect a known working pedal. |
| Humming or noise in audio signal. | Ground loop; faulty cable; pedal issue. | Ensure all pedals are connected to the isolated outputs. Try different cables. Test pedals individually to identify the source of the noise. |
| Pedal not functioning correctly. | Incorrect voltage or current supplied; incorrect polarity. | Verify the pedal's power requirements (voltage, current, polarity) and ensure it is connected to the correct CP-05 output. Use a polarity reversal cable if needed. |
