Thank you for choosing HYPSOS by Ferrum!
HYPSOS is a hybrid power system and combines the best features of both linear and switching power supplies.
HYPSOS can power many brands with a simple revolution of a knob. This software based operation is unique
to HYPSOS and an industry first! Apart from the ease of operation HYPSOS makes use of a smart combination
of existing power sensing techniques, which again sets it apart from the pack. With the HYPSOS power supply
your audio system will be taken to the next level!

HYPSOS by Ferrum
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or enclosure discoloration, be sure that the apparatus shall
not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
near or on the apparatus.
supply.
Do not allow any objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets
into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Take the unit to a qualified
service person for inspection and necessary repairs.
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep this manual so you can refer to
these safety instructions. Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions. Follow all operating
instructions.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, carpet, or similar surface that could block the heatsink airflow. If the
component is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cool-
ing. Keep the HYPSOS away from radiators, kettles, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance that produces
heat.
Connect the HYPSOS to the power outlet only with an earthed IEC power supply cable or an exact equivalent
in a mains socket with protected earthing connection.
The safest and primary method of isolating the device from the mains supply is to disconnect the mains plug.
Ensure that the mains plug remains accessible at all times.
Unplug HYPSOS during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Do not attempt to defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. Do not route the power cord where it will
be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention
to the power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit.
Immediately unplug and stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a qualified
service agency if:
- The power supply cord or plugs have been damaged.
- Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
- The unit has been exposed to rain.
- The unit shows signs of improper operation.
