Safety requirements

To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the amplifier. It is especially important that you know the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS contained here.

• The installation of this amplifier must be done by a qualified professional.
• Wear safety glasses, insulated gloves, and correct tools for installing this product.
• This amplifier is for use with 12V batteries. Always check the voltage before installing.
• This amplifier must be installed in a firm place with at least 1” space around it for proper heat spreading.
• Never install the amplifier in places exposed to dust, humidity, and water. Pay attention to installing it far from the fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources, and other parts of the vehicle.
• Be sure to install a protection fuse or a circuit breaker near the battery. Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of an improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheating, smoke, damage to the product, injury, or burns.
• Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through the car’s body.
• Before making any connection to the amplifier, disconnect the battery negative terminal.
• When in use, the external surface of may amplifier becomes hot. Avoid touching the area and keep children far from the amplifier.
• This amplifier may produce high sound pressure levels. Avoid continuous exposure to levels over 85dB to prevent permanent hearing loss.
• Output connections for speakers may have voltage levels when the amplifier is operating. Make sure that the amplifier is turned OFF before proceeding with any connection or disconnection in these terminals.
• If you want to dispose of this amplifier, don’t throw it on domestic waste. It must be collected by a used electronic product disposal service for proper recycling.

Safety

• As you read this manual, pay attention to the safety symbols.

CAUTION

• This symbol with “CAUTION” is intended to alert the user to the presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in a risk of injury to user or product damage.
• Taramps reserves the right to modify the contents of this document at any time without prior notice and does not have the obligation to apply the changes in units that were previously produced.

Installation

CAUTION: All connections to the power supply, input, and output connectors must be carried out only with the amplifier off.

Recommended wire gauge & fuse

• Positive / negative power supply cable ____15 AWG3
• Output cables wire gauge_ __15 AWG
• Protection fuse or circuit breake r_____20A
• Calculated considering a maximum length of 4m. Distance greater than this, you will need to increase the cable gauges.

CAUTION

• Using wire gauges below the recommendation will result in power loss and overheating of wiring.
• Check polarity and never reverse power supply cables due to the risk of damage to the amplifier.
• It is compulsory to install protection fuses or circuit breakers as close as possible to batteries.
• The TL 500 amplifier has a feature that turns on the amplifier automatically based on the audio level at the inputs.
• In order to keep the amplifier working, a minimum sound volume is needed, around 2 to 5 volume units on the head unit (it may vary according to the song or head unit model).
• If you turn on your head unit with volume 0 or mute, the amplifier will stay OFF.
• After turning off the head unit, the amplifier will remain ON for about 30 seconds.
  Note: In the case of compression drivers and tweeters you must install a passive filter in the positive terminal of the same ones (Consult the transducer’s manufacturer manual)
