COUGAR GR 1000 Power Supply Unit

Introduction

Thank you for choosing a COUGAR® power supply unit. Before installation, please read the manual carefully. If you have any questions, please contact customer service.

Warnings and Safety Notes

⚠️ Never open the PSU cover. There is a potential danger of life due to high voltage inside. The PSU should only be opened by an authorized technician. The manufacturer's 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 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 the values shown in the output power table.

Avoid the use of adapters, such as 4Pin Molex to 6+2Pin PCI-Express.

Installing the COUGAR® PSU

1. Place the PSU into its designated place within the case and fix it with the supplied screws.
2. First, insert the plugs for the mainboard supply (20/24 pin, 4 pin, and possibly 8 pin, depending on mainboard layout) into the respective slots.
3. Connect disk drives and, if necessary, graphics cards to the PSU.
4. Close the PC and ensure the PSU power switch is set to position "0".
5. Connect the PSU to the power network using the supplied power cord. Use only the power cord provided in the package. Low-quality power cords may damage the PSU and PC system!
6. Turn on the PSU, 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 voltages fall below a certain tolerance value on single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.
• OVP (Over Voltage Protection): If voltages increase above a certain tolerance value on single lines, the PSU automatically switches off.
• SCP (Short-Circuit Protection): Prevents damage to core components of the PSU and system components in case of a short-circuit.
• OPP (Over Power Protection): Activates if the system requires more power from the PSU than it can perform.
• OTP (Over Temperature Protection): If the temperature becomes too high, the PSU automatically switches off.

Troubleshooting

Important: Never work on the PSU yourself. Life-threatening voltages can still be present even long after deactivation. Repairs should only be made by authorized specialists.

Working on power sources can lead to life-threatening injuries. If you notice smoke, cable damage, or liquid intrusion, immediately disconnect the PSU from the power network and do not operate it again. Never open the PSU; it contains components that can hold high voltages even after long periods of deactivation. Again, repairs should only be done by authorized specialists!

Problem: System does not start after installing the new PSU.

Possible Solutions:

• Check the power cord and the power supply from the wall socket and/or multiple socket strip. Also, check if the multiple socket strip can supply the necessary power.
• Check all connections within the PC; ensure all cables are correctly connected.
• Check the components for possible short-circuits or defects.
• Please also check other components for compatibility. Mainboard chipsets may not be compatible with all memory and/or graphics card solutions. Contact the manufacturer of the component for more information.
• If your PSU still does not function after checking all listed error sources, please contact our customer service.
