Beforeinstallingthecomponents,pleasecarefullyreadalloftheinstructionscontainedinthismanual.Itisadvisableto
carefullyfollowthehighlightedinstructions.Failuretorespecttheseinstructionsmaycauseunintentionalharmordamage
to the components.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Makesureyourcarhas12VDCvoltagenegativegroundelectricsystem.
2. Checkyouralternatorandbatteryconditiontoensuretheycanhandletheincreasedconsumption.
3. Donotcarryoutanyinstallationinsidetheenginecompartmentorexposedtowater,excessivehumidity,dustordirt.
4. Neverruncablesoutsidethevehicleorinstalltheamplifiernexttoelectronicgearcases.
5. Installtheamplifierinthevehiclepartswheretemperatureisbetween0°C(32°F)and55°C(131°F).Lettheamplifierouterprofilebeatleast5cm(2”)far
 frompossiblewalls.Theremustbegoodaircirculationwheretheamplifierisinstalled.Ifyoucovertheheatsink,theamplifiergoesinprotection.
6. Theamplifiercanreachtemperaturesofaround80°C(176°F).Makesureitisnotdangerouslyhotbeforetouchingit.
7. Periodicallycleantheamplifierwithoutusingaggressivesolventsthatmightdamageit.Don’tusecompressedair,sinceitwouldpushsolidparts
 intheamplifiers.Dampenapieceofclothwithwaterandsoap,wringitandcleantheamplifier.Thenuseapieceofclothdampenedwithwateronly;
 eventuallycleantheamplifierwithadrypieceofcloth.
8. Makesurethelocationyouchoseforthecomponentsdoesnotaffectthecorrectfunctioningofthevehiclemechanicalandelectricaldevices.
9. Makesurepowercableisnotshortcircuitedduringinstallationandconnectionwiththebattery.
10. Useextremecautionwhencuttingordrillingthecarplate,checkingtherearenoelectricalwiringorstructuralelementunderneath.
11.Whenpositioningthepowersupplycable,avoidtorunthewireoverorthroughsharpedgesorclosetomovingmechanicaldevices.Userubber
 grommetstoprotectthewireifitrunsinaholeoftheplateorpropermaterialsifitisclosetoheat-generatingparts.
12.Makesureallthecablesareproperlysecuredallalongtheirlength.Also,makesuretheirouterprotectivejacketisflameresistantandself
 extinguishing.Useaclampingscrewtosecurepositiveandnegativecablesjustclosetotheamplifierrespectivepowersupplyterminalblocks.
13. Choosethecablegaugeaccordingtotheamplifierpowerandtothesuggestionsyoucanfindhere.Usehighqualitycables,connectorsand
 accessories,asyoucanfindintheConnectioncatalogue.
14. Pre-plantheconfigurationofyournewamplifierandthebestwiringroutestoeaseinstallation.
15.Inordertoavoidincidentaldamage,keeptheproductintheoriginalpackaginguntilyouarereadyforthefinalinstallation.
16.Alwayswearprotectiveeyewearwhenusingtools,assplintsorproductresiduemaybecomeairborne.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
IfyouhaveanyquestionspleaserefertotheAdvancedManualyoucanfindavailableonwww.audison.comorcontactyourAUDISONdealeror
AUDISONauthorizedserviceforassistance.
1. Beforeinstallingtheamplifierturnoffthesourceandallotherelectronicdevicesintheaudiosystemtopreventanydamages.
2. UsingacablewithadequateAWG(seechart:PowerSupplyCable),runthepowerwirefromthebatterylocationtotheamplifiermountinglocation.
3. Connectthepowersupplywiththecorrectpolarity.connect(+)terminaltothecablecomingfromthebatteryand(-)terminaltothecarchassis.
4. Putaninsulatedfuseholder40cmmaxfarfromthebatterypositiveterminal;connectoneendofthepowercabletoitaftertheotherendtothe
 amplifier.Donotmountthefuse.
5. Togroundthedevice(-)intherightway,useascrewinthevehiclechassis;scrapeallpaintorgreasefromthemetalifnecessary,checkingwith
 atesterthatthereiscontinuitybetweenthebatterynegativeterminal(-)andthefixingpoint.Ifpossible,connectallcomponentstothesame
 groundpoint;thissolutionrejectsmostnoisewhichcanbegeneratedduringtheaudioreproduction.
6. Routeallsignalcablesclosetogetherandawayfrompowercables.
7. ConnecttheRCAinputcables,theappliedsignalmustbebetween0.2VRMSand5VRMS.
8. Connectthehighlevelinputsusingtheproperplug.Appliedsignalmustbebetween0.8VRMSand20VRMS.Don’tuseitifyouarealreadyusing
 PreInpreamplifiedconnection.
9. Connectthespeakeroutputusing10AWGmaxspeakercable.
10.Don’tconnect(-)Land(-)Rspeakeroutputstogether.Ifyouuseanexternalstereocrossover,makesurethatitsnegativepolesarenotconnectedtogether.
11.Theamplifierturnsonbyconnectingtheremoteturnonterminal(REMOTEIN)tothesourcespecificoutput.Theamplifierturnsonautomatically,
 withoutremotesignal,alsoifusinghighlevelinputs(SpeakerIN)bysettingthe“AUTOTURNON”switchtopositionON.
12. TheLEDonthetoppanellightsupblueindicatingthattheproductison.TheLEDlightsuprediftheoutputsgoonoverload,ifthethermalprotection
 istriggered,ifthespeakercablesshortcircuitwiththevehiclechassisandiftheamplifierismalfunctioning.
13.Thefuse/sis/arelocatednearthepowersupplyandspeakerterminals.Toreplace,removethefuse/sfromthehousing.Alwaysreplacethefuse
 ofthesamerating.
14.Secureallauxiliarydevicesyoubuilttoinstallthecomponentstothevehiclestructure;thisinsuresstabilityandsafetywhiledriving.Theamplifier
 detachmentwhiledrivingcanseriouslydamagethepeopleinthevehicleandothercars.
15.Wheninstallationisover,checkthesystem’swiringandmakesureallconnectionsweredoneintherightway.
16.Putthefuseintothefuseholder.Thefusevaluewillhavetobe30%higherthantheamplifierbuilt-inone.Incasethecablesuppliesseveral
 amplifiers,thefusevaluewillhavetobe30%higherthanthesumofthevaluesofallotherfusesintheamplifiers.
17.Listeninglevelcalibrationismadebyadjustingthesourcevolumeupto3/4ofitsmaximumlevel;then,adjusttheamplifierlevelsuntilyouheardistortion.
