Avant linstallation

Installez lappareil dans le coffre ou sous un sige. Choisissez avec soin lemplacement de sorte que lappareil ne gne pas les mouvements du conducteur et quil ne soit pas expos au soleil ou lair chaud du chauffage. Ninstallez pas lappareil sous le tapis de sol car la dissipation thermique ne pourrait pas se faire correctement. Placez dabord lappareil lendroit o vous voulez linstaller et tracez un repre de positionnement pour les quatre vis sur la plaque de montage (non fournie). Percez des trous denviron 3 mm (1/8 po) de diamtre, puis fixez lappareil sur la plaque de montage laide des vis fournies. Celles-ci font 15 mm (19/32 po) de long. Vrifiez, par consquent, que la plaque fait de plus de 15 mm (19/32 po) dpaisseur.

Before Installation
Mount the unit either inside the trunk or under a seat. Choose the mounting location carefully so the unit will not interfere with the normal movements of the driver and it will not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot air from the heater. Do not install the unit under the floor carpet, where the heat dissipation from the unit will be considerably impaired. First, place the unit where you plan to install it, and mark the positions of the four screw holes on the surface of the mounting board (not supplied). Then drill the holes approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) in diameter and mount the unit onto the board with the supplied mounting screws. The supplied mounting screws are 15 mm (19/32 in) long. Therefore, make sure that the mounting board is thicker than 15 mm (19/32 in).

Connections

Caution
Before making any connections, disconnect the ground terminal of the car battery to avoid short circuits. Be sure to use speakers with an adequate power rating. If you use small capacity speakers, they may be damaged. Do not connect the # terminal of the speaker system to the car chassis, and do not connect the # terminal of the right speaker with that of the left speaker. Install the input and output cords away from the power supply wire as running them close together can generate some interference noise. This unit is a high powered amplifier. Therefore, it may not perform to its full potential if used with the speaker cords supplied with the car. If your car is equipped with a computer system for navigation or some other purpose, do not remove the ground wire from the car battery. If you disconnect the wire, the computer memory may be erased. To avoid short circuits when making connections, disconnect the +12 V power supply wire until all the other wires have been connected.

Connexions

Attention
Avant deffectuer les connexions, dbranchez le fil de masse de la borne de la batterie pour viter un court-circuit. Utilisez des haut-parleurs de puissance adquate. Si vous utilisez des haut-parleurs de faible capacit, ils risquent dtre endommags. Ne raccordez pas la borne # des haut-parleurs la carrosserie de la voiture ni la borne # du haut-parleur droit celle du haut-parleur gauche. Eloignez les cordons dentre et de sortie du fil dalimentation lectrique pour viter que des interfrences ne se produisent. Cet appareil est un amplificateur de haute puissance et il peut ne pas atteindre sa puissance maximale si les cordons de haut-parleurs originaux de la voiture lui sont raccords. Si votre voiture est quipe dun systme de navigation ou dun ordinateur de bord, ne dbranchez pas le fil de masse de la batterie de la voiture. Si vous dbranchez ce fil, toute la mmoire de lordinateur sera efface. Pour viter un court-circuit lorsque vous effectuez les branchements, branchez le fil dalimentation de +12 V uniquement aprs avoir branch tous les autres fils.

Precautions

This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V DC operation only. Use speakers with suitable impedance. (stereo) , (when used as a bridging amplifier). Do not connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals of the unit. Doing so may damage the amplifier and active speakers. Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to: high temperatures such as from direct sunlight or hot air from the heater rain or moisture dust or dirt If your car is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool down before use. When installing the unit horizontally, be sure not to cover the fins with the floor carpet etc. If this unit is placed too close to the car audio unit or aerial, interference may occur. In this case, relocate the amplifier away from the car audio unit or aerial. If no power is being supplied to the car audio unit, check the connections. This power amplifier employs a protection circuit* to protect the transistors and speakers if the amplifier malfunctions. Do not attempt to test the protection circuits by covering the heat sink or connecting improper loads. Do not use the unit on a weak battery as its optimum performance depends on a good power supply. For safety reasons, keep your car audio volume moderate so that you can still hear sounds outside your car.

Protection circuit This amplifier is provided with a protection circuit that operates in the following cases: when the unit is overheated when a DC current is generated when the speaker terminals are short-circuited The PROTECTOR indicator lights up in red and the unit will shut down. If this happens, turn off the connected equipment, take out the cassette tape or disc, and determine the cause of the malfunction. If the amplifier has overheated, wait until the unit cools down before use.
