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 heasink for proper heat spreading.
• Never install the amplifier in places exposed to dust, humidity and water. 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 battery. 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 edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through car’s body.
• Before make any connection to amplifier, disconnect the battery negative terminal.
• 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 terminals.
• If you want to dispose this amplifier, don’t throw it on domestic waste. 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.

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 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 which were previously produced.

Functions & inputs

1. INPUT: Inputs of signals to be amplified. Connect these signals to RCA outputs of CD/DVD Player, using good quality shielded cables to avoid noise interference.
2. LEVEL: It sets the amplifier input sensitivity, which allows an optimal adjustment to the output signals levels of nearly all models of CD/DVD Players found in the market.
3. HPF – (HIGH PASS): Variable adjustment from 80Hz to 2.2KHz, which determines the beginning of the amplifier operating frequency.
4. CROSSOVER: Set the operating mode of amplifier :

• SELECTOR POSITION – FULL
  Amplifies the whole audio range, responding from 10Hz to 22KHz. This function is normally used when there is an external crossover in the system.

• SELECTOR POSITION – HPF – (HIGH PASS) Amplifies signals with more intensity from the selected frequency ranging from 80Hz to 2.2KHz (-6dB / 8ª). This type of function is used for playback of mid-bass, mid-range speakers, drivers or tweeters.

• SELECTOR POSITION – LPF – (LOW PASS)
  Amplifies only sub bass and bass, since the response is limited to 80Hz (-12dB/8ª), the optimal frequency for sub-woofers.

LED indicator
ON: Indicates that amplifier is on.

Output & power supply connector

1. OUTPUT : To connect the speakers. Follow the polarity and the minimum impedance recommended.
   For STEREO connections, the minimum impedance is 2 ohms at each channel; for BRIGDED connections is 4 ohms.
   To combine speakers, the resulting impedance must be taken in consideration.
   See the examples below:   CAUTION: Due to the presence of voltage at the output terminals when the product is turned on, avoid contact with them. Risk of electric shock.

2. POWER (Power Supply Connector): The connector terminal (+) must be connected to the  battery’s positive pole with a 7 AWG wire gauge. The connector terminal (-) must be properly connect to the battery’s negative pole with a same wire gauge. The remote terminal must be connected to the CD/DVD Player REMOTE output with a 18 AWG wire.

CAUTION : Before making any connections to the power terminals, make sure that the negative (-) f the vehicle battery is disconnected.

Protection system
Short-circuit Protection: Shutdown the amplifier when detect a short- circuit or impedance lower than the supported at the output.

Installation

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

Recommended wire gauge & fuse

• Positive / negative power supply cable __ 7 AWG
• Output cables wire gauge___ 15 AWG
• Remote cable _____ 18 AWG
• Protection fuse or circuit breaker_____ 60A
• 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 a protection fuses or circuit breakers as close as possible from batteries.

Note: In case of compression drivers and tweeters you must install a passive filter in the positive terminal of the same ones (Consult transducer’s manufacturer manual).

Examples of connections in the power supply input. Note: Required battery bank capacity: At least 60Ah

CUIDADO suitable for use in places where children may be present.
