DS18 ZR500.1D Monoblock Class D Subwoofer Amplifier
Product Information
The product is a monoblock class D subwoofer amplifier. It is available in
different models, including ZR500.1D, ZR1000.1D, ZR1500.1D, ZR2000.1D,
ZR600.4D, ZR800.4D, and ZR1600.4D.
The amplifier features various input and output connections, including a
remote controller input jack, low-level input for RCA audio signals from the
source (head unit), power input terminals, speaker output terminals, and a
remote output.
It has a gain knob for adjusting the input gain, ranging from 0.2V to 6V input
signal. The amplifier also includes a bass level knob for adjusting the volume
remotely.
LED status indicators are available to provide information about the device’s
status. The CLIP LED turns yellow when the signal is clipped, the PROTECT LED
turns on red when the device enters protection mode, and the POWER LED turns
on blue when the device is powered on.
The amplifier operates with an applied voltage between 10 and 15VDC.
Product Usage Instructions
- Connect the Bass level knob to the REMOTE controller input jack to adjust the volume remotely.
- Connect the source (head unit) to the INPUT low-level input using RCA audio cables.
- Adjust the input gain using the GAIN knob. The range is from 0.2V to 6V input signal.
- Connect the power input terminals to a power source with an applied voltage between 10 and 15VDC.
- Connect the speakers to the SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals.
- For models with a POTENCIADOR DE GRAVES (bass boost selector switch), select the desired bass boost gain (0dB, 6dB, or 12dB).
- For models with LED status indicators, monitor the CLIP LED for signal clipping, the PROTECT LED for protection mode, and the POWER LED for power status.
- Refer to the user manual for specific instructions regarding stereo mode or bridge mode speaker connections based on the amplifier model.
- Adjust the crossover settings, filter settings, and gain as desired using the available controls on the front panel.
- For master/slave mode (strap), refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on how to connect multiple amplifiers together.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the
suggested procedures. Always test the speakers and their wires first.
AMPLIFIER WILL NOT POWER UP
- Check for good ground connection.
- Check that remote DC terminal has at least 10V DC.
- Check that there is battery power on the+ terminal.
- Check all FUSES.
- Check that Protection LED is not Iit. If it is lit, shut off amplifier briefly and then re-power it.
HIGH HISS OR ENGINE NOISE (ALTERNATOR WHINE) IN SPEAKERS.
Disconnect all RCA inputs to the amplifier, if hiss / noise disappears, then
plug in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. If hiss /
noise disappears, go on until the faulty / noisy component is found. It is
best to set the amplifier input level as insensitive as possible. The best
subjective S/N ratio is obtainable this way. Try to drive as high a signal
level from the head unit as possible. PROTECTION LED COMES ON WHEN THE
AMPLIFIER IS POWERED UP.
Check for shorts on speaker leads. Check that volume control on the head unit
is turned down low. Remove speaker leads, and reset the amplifier. If the
Protection LED still comes on, then the amplifier is faulty. The amplifier
will shut down automatically when the units· temperature goes up to 85°C This
will protect the units from damage.
AMPLIFIER GETS VERY HOT.
Check that the minimum speaker impedance for that model is correct. Check for
speaker shorts. Check that there is good airflow around the amplifier. In some
applications, an external cooling fan may be required. DISTORTED SOUND
Check that the Level control”s is set to match the signal level of the head
unit. Check that all crossover frequencies have been properly set. Check for
shorts on the speaker leads.
HIGH SQUEAL NOISE FROM SPEAKERS.
This is always caused by a poorly grounded RCA patch cord.
DIMENSIONS
We reserve the right to change products and specifications at any time without
notice. Images may or may not included optional equipment.
WARNING
Professional installation by an authorized DS18 amps dealer is highly
recommended! Otherwise, the performance of your new gear may not be
satisfactory. In the event that you decide to do your own installation, please
read and follow this manual very carefully. Failure to do so may compromise
the integrity of this product, your automobile, and possibly void the product
warranty.
Amplifiers are generally mounted in the hatch / trunk area of a car or SUV,
and under or behind the seat of most pick-up trucks. Select a location that
will provide adequate ventilation for the amplifier. Avoid mounting the
amplifier with the fins down. The fins should be facing up either vertically
or horizontally. Secure the amplifier with the screws provided.
- Over high volume will damage your speakers.
- Be cautious when you use the amplifier near gasoline tank and electric wires.
- Protect the connecting wires and parts to avoid any damage or short circuit.
- The power must be lee from the anode of the battery via FUSE.
- The sound system must be in turning-off situation when you check the amplifier.
- Be sure that you use the same type of FUSE when you need to replace it .
- We reserve the right to make needed change or improvement to the product, without informing customer about this in advance.
WARRANTY
