must be located within 18 inches of the battery to protect the vehicle and should be
fused at, or above, the ampliers fuse rating.

Ohms
INPUT GAIN (SENS)

variable from 0.4V to 10V. Adjust this with the help of a DMM and a test signal or an
Oscilloscope. See System Tuning section for basic setup instructions.
