TARAMPS BASS 8K Amplifier Free Shipping Worldwide Instruction Manual

Introduction

Read this manual before preparing the product. In case of doubt, contact our technical support: (18) 3266-4050 or www.taramps.com.br.

At the end of its useful life, this product must not be disposed of in household waste. Look for an electronic equipment collection or recycling center for proper disposal

Safety requirements

To ensure proper use, please read through this manual before using the amplifier. It is specially 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 the heatsink for proper heat
Never install the amplifier in places exposed to dust, humidity and Pay attention to install it far from fuel tank, fuel lines, heat sources and other parts of vehicle.
Be sure to install protection fuse or a circuit braker near to Follow the ampere rating as indicated here in this manual. Use of improper fuse or circuit breaker could result in overheat, smoke, damage to product, injury or burns.
Avoid running wires over or through sharp Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car’s body.
Before make any connection to amplifier, disconnect the battery negative

– When in use, the external surface of may amplifier becomes hot. Avoid touching the heatsink area and keep childrens 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 proceed any connection or disconnection in this
If you want to dispose this amplifier, don’t throw it on domestic It must be collected by an used electronic product disposal service for proper recycling.

Safety

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

Functions, inputs & outputs

– INPUT (R and L): Inputs of signals to be Connect these signals to RCA outputs of Head Unit , using good quality shielded cables to avoid noise influence.
– LEVEL: It sets the amplifier input sensitivity, which allows an optimal adjustment to the output signals levels of nearly all models of Head Unit found in the

3 – CROSSOVER

FILTRO SUBSONIC (HPF): Variable adjustment from 8Hz to 30Hz, which determines the beginning of the amplifier operating frequency.
LOW PASS: Variable adjustment from 60Hz to 250Hz, which determines the end of the amplifier operating frequency.

4 – BASS BOOST

FREQ.: Set the Bass Boost center frequency, from 35Hz up to 60Hz. BOOST : Boost for bass levels in 50Hz, with variable gain up 0 to +10dB.

– MONITOR: Connection to an accessory, which function is to monitor the amplifier and it is where all information from the indicator LEDs, such as distortion (CLIP) and protection actuation (PROT), will be displayed
– SPEAKER: Output (positive and negative) to transducers connection (speakers). Follow the polarity described and the minimum impedance

To combine speakers, the resulting impedance must be taken into consideration. See the examples below:

CAUTION

Due to the presence of voltage at the output terminals when the product is turned on,

Power supply connector

– FANS: This amplifier has two internal ventilation For perfect functioning, the amplifier must beinstalled in a cool and aired place with at least 1” (25mm) space around the heatsink for proper heat spreading. The usually working temperature of amplifier is 65°C.
– POSITIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: Use a 2/0 AWG (70mm²) cable directly from the positive battery terminal with fuse (320A), as close as possible from the

3 – REMOTETERMINAL: The remote Head Unit output must be connected by a 0,75mm² (18 AWG) cable.
4 – NEGATIVE POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL: A 2/0 AWG (70mm²) cable as short as possible must be used, connected to the negative battery pole.
It is recommended that all cables must have tinned ends to improve electrical contact.

LEDS indicators & protection system

Blue LED steady on:

Indicates that the amplifier is turned on.

Flashing yellow LED: Excessive temperature (May be caused by obstruction of the internal fans, improper installation or poorly ventilated location).

When the amplifier reaches the temperature of approximately 80°C (176°F), the thermal protection starts working, the audio is interrupted and the yellow LED will start flashing. The fans will be functioning, in order to cool down the components quickly. Only when the amplifier reaches a safe temperature level, the audio is released and the amplifier gets back to its normal functioning.
We recommend don’t turn off the amplifier, so that the cooling time will be shorter, through the ventilation of fans.

Blinking yellow LED according to music: Indicates that the amplifier is operating at the threshold of distortion. If the red LED also blinks, it indicates excessive distortion.

Red LED steady on:

Short-circuit or impedance lower than that supported at output.
RED **LED ****flashes ****2x: Supply voltage less than 9V. RED ****LED ****flashes ****3x:** Power supply voltage greater than 17V.

Installation

CAUTION

Recommended wire gauge & fuse

Positive / negative power supply cable
2/0 AWG Output cables wire gauge

7 AWG Remote cable 18 AWG Protection fuse or circuit breaker 320A

Examples of connections in the power supply input. Note: Required battery bank capacity: At least 320Ah

Technical features

*Rated power with 60Hz sinusoidal signal and THD <= 1%, with resistive loads, measured with Audio Precision APx525 audio analyzer or equivalent and the product at lower than 50°C case temperature and 14.4V supply voltage.
**Frequency response measured at 2 times the minimum impedance. The values as above are typical and may vary, due to electronic components tolerance or manufacturing process. For further informations or questions, visit our website or contact TARAMPS support.
