Resumen del manual
Running the wires inside the vehicle provides for the best protection. 7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect wires routed through holes in metal. 8. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and fuse within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal to safeguard from possible damage or injury. This fuse and fuseholder is included with the Series 1 amplifier. (See installation instructions on page 8.) 9. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle. – 6 – TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED Wire Cutters Phillips Screwdrivers Wire Strippers Flat Blade Screwdrivers Wire Crimpers Battery Post Wrench Voltmeter Electric Hand Drill with assorted bits Power Wire - [10-12 AWG; approx. 17’ (518.72 cm)] Grounding Wire - [10-12 AWG.; max. length 1.5’ (45.72 cm)] Remote (AP) Turn-On Wire - [18 AWG; approx. 12’ (365.76 cm)] Assorted wire connectors In-line butt connectors that match power and ground wire AWG 3/8" (.953cm) Battery Ring Terminal 1/4" (.635cm) Ground Terminal 1-1/2" (3.81cm) #8 Pan Head Mounting Screws (4) BATTERY AND CHARGING Series 1 amplifiers will naturally put an extra load on your battery and charging system. We recommend you check your alternator capacity to ensure ample charging capability to handle the additional load of your new Series 1 equipment. Stock electrical systems in good condition will typically handle the extra load of any individual Series 1 unit without problems, although battery and alternator life may be slightly reduced. If problems arise, we suggest you first check the charging system, then use a heavy duty battery and/or a high output alternator. MOUNTING LOCATIONS The mounting location and position of the Series 1 will have a great effect on its ability to dissipate the heat generated in normal operation. The Series 1 has a heatsink designed for heat dissipation and internal overheating shutoff circuitry to avoid overheating. The amplifier is reasonably tolerant of mounting variations, however, care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation. TRUNK MOUNTING The temperature inside a trunk can reach as high as 175° F (80° C) during the summer months. Since the thermal shutoff point for the Series 1 is 195° F (90° C), it is easy to see that the amplifier must be mounted for maximum cooling capability. Mounting the amplifier on the floor or under the rear parcel tray prevents sufficient convectional air flow cooling. Mounting the unit vertically on a surface with the fin grooves running up and down usually results in the best cooling. – 7 – PASSENGER MOUNTING Under the seat or floor mounting will work as long as there is a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) of air gap above the amplifier heatsink. Vertical mounting of the amplifier is still the best. WIRING THE SERIES 1 Caution! Be sure to avoid running the power wires near the low level input cables, antenna, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The power wires carry substantial currents and could induce noise. 1. Power – The gold B+ terminal must be connected directlyto the positive (+) terminal of the battery with an appropriate size wire. (See the Specifications for more information.) This provides a power source with a low voltage drop and low noise. Be sure to use the supplied fuse and fuseholder within 18” (45.7cm) of the battery’s positive terminal. Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle and the amplifier. Note: You will need to cut the wire loop that is attached to the fuse holder in half and splice the fuse into the power line using appropriate in-line butt connectors. If the power wire must be extended beyond 17’ (518.16 cm), we recommend the use of 10 gauge stranded wire. 2. Ground – The GND terminal grounds the amplifier and is connected to the chassis of the vehicle. When grounding, scrape paint off metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. To prevent ground loops, we recommend you refrain from extending the ground wire beyond 18” (45.72 cm) in any installation. 3. Remote Turn-On – The Series 1 amplifiers are turned on by supplying positive (+) 12 volts to the AP terminal. Usually the terminal is connected to the source unit’s “Accessory” or “Auto Antenna” lead, either of which will go to +12 volts when the source unit is activated. Although the majority of high quality automotive source units have an Accessory or Antenna output, there may be exceptions. If the source unit has no Auto Antenna lead (or if the Auto Antenna goes down during tape/CD operation), we recommend a switch in the car with one terminal connected to +12 volts and the other to the Series 1 AP lead. This will allow you to engage the amplifier manually. Cut here X – 8 – 4. Input – The amplifier’s signal input RCA jacks should be connected to the source unit’s signal outputs with high-quality braided or double-shielded interconnecting RCA cables. Note: ...
