3.3 Install the PIP Into the Amplifier
Carefully ground yourself to the chassis of
the amplifier before installing the PIP. It is a good
idea to maintain ground contact between yourself
and the amplifier while inserting the module into
the amplifier.
Connect the PIP module to the amplifier.
1. Turn the PIP module upside down so the ribbon
cable connectors located along the back edge on
the underside of the module can be clearly seen
(See Figure 3.1)
2. Attach the ribbon cables from the amplifier to the
ribbon-cable connectors. The 20-pin cable (A)
should connect to the connector closest to the
corner and the 18 pin cable (B) should connect
to the other connector.
Important: Be careful when attaching the ribbon
cable to the connector. Don’t pull
cables out if they are short. Applying
pressure to an improperly seated
connector could cause the keying tabs, which
ensure proper pin alignment, to break. Connect-
ing the ribbon cables with improper pin align-
ment will likely result in damage to the PIP
module.
3. Set amplifier sensitivity.
Mount the PIP module in the amplifier.
1. With both cables firmly attached, turn the PIP
back to an upright position. Verify that the cables
run untwisted between the amplifier and the PIP
module.
2. Insert the PIP module into the amplifier while
taking care not to crimp, pinch or stretch the rib-
bon cables.
3. Fasten the PIP module to the amplifier rear panel
with the two supplied mounting screws. Be sure
to use the supplied star-washers for a good
ground connection.
