Thank J?U for purchasing of this Deaf Bence product! Our company is committed to the creation of extremely loud sound systems with no loss of quality. To ensure proper use, . please carefully read through this manual before using this product It is especially important that you read and observe caution in this manual. Please keep the manual in a safe and accessible place for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure that you vehicle has a 12V DC electrical system with negative grounding. Before installing the amplifier in cars, true ! G or buses, check the battery voltage.

2. Check the state of onboard power supply of your vehicle, the battery and the alternator. When the engine is running, depending on the ambient temperature, the voltaQe to be outputted by the alternator must be within the range of 14 to 14. 7 V. Open circuit voltage (OCV) of the battery, must be within the range of 12.5 to 13 v. Make sure that the rated current of the alternator and the battery, capacity is enoughtoprovide1naeased consumption.
   For example, for the power of the amplifier 1000W, the rated current of the alternator is required at the rate of 1000W /13 V = 77 amperes. A more powerful amplifier requires a more powerful ultimate or a swell as an additional battery.

3. Do not place the amplifier in the engine compartment and also in the places exposed to water, moisture, dust or dirt.

4. Never stretch the cables outside of the car and near the moving parts of the car. This can lead to the destruction of the insulating layer, short<ircuitand fire.

5. The amplifier should be instilled in areas of the car where the temperature varies from O •c (32 “Fl to 55 •c (131 ‘F). The amplifier should be in a place with good air circulation. The horizontal position of the amplifier is the best way to install it.

6. During the operation, the amplifier may be heated up to BO •c (176 ‘F). Before you touch it, make sure it is not overheated which may be dangerous.

7. To improve the cooling of the amplifier, it is recommended to clean periodically the heatsink from dust When cleaning the heatsinks strong solvents should not be used as tney may damage the amplifier. Do not use compressed air, because solids can penetrate inside the amplifier. Cleanings are best done with wet towels or doth.

8. Make sure that the location of the amplifier does not violate the proper operation of mechanical and electrical devices of the vehicle.

9. Makesurethatduring the installation and connection of the battery, the power cables are not shorted.

10. When performing plumbing, drilling or cutting works with the car, make sure that there is no wiring, brake lines. fuel pipe or other structural elements under the place of work. Follow the safety rules! Use protective glasses and gloves.

11. To protect the wires use rubber gaskets if the wire passes through a hole in the plate, or other similar materials if it lies close to the parts exposed to heal

12. Make sure that all the cables are fixed over the entire length. Also make sure that their outer protective shell is non-combustible. Use a clamping screw to secure the positive and negative cables next to the appropriate terminals of the preamplifier.

13. Select a diameter of the power cable in accordance with the power of the amplifier and the recommendations provided here. Power cables are extremely important since they directly affect the system damping factor and sound quality. The cables to the battery must be in the copper crimp terminals pressed with the help of a hydraulic press, and well fixed to the battery terminals.

14. To avoid accidental damage, keep the amplifier in its original packaging prior to installation.

15. Use high-quality copper speakers and power cables.

CAUTION: High sound pressure can damage your health! Please use common sense when controlling volume!

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

1. Before installing the amplifier disconnect the battery from the electrical system.

2. To connect the amplifier it is necessary to stretch the power cable from the location of the battery to the place of installation of the amplifier. Select the power cable with the appropriate regulations in AWG (see Table: Selection of the diameter of the power cables)

3. Connect the power supply with the correct polarity. Connect all (+)terminals of the amplifier to the cables stretching from the positive terminal of the battery and all(-) terminals of the amplifier-to the cables stretching from the negative terminal of the battery.

4. Place the fuse holder for each positive cable within 40 cm from the positive terminal of the battery and connect one end of the power cable to the holder after connecting the other end to the amplifier. Do not install the fuse(s).

5. Route all signal cables next to each other and greatly from the power cables.

6. Connect thewiresofRCAinput. The input signal power must be between 0.2V and 6V.

7. To connect the power wire supply is necessary to use special power cables.

8. Fasten the amplifier properly when installing it in the vehicle. If the component is disconnected during driving, it may cause serious damage to the passengers of the vehicle or another vehicle. It is not recommended to screw the amplifier directly to the metal it can lead to distortions at the signal outputs.

9. After installation is complete, check the wiring of the system and make sure that all connections have been made correctly. Before installing the fuses, disconnect the positive lead from the battery and then install the fuse in the fuse holder. Using the light bulb 12 V 2.1 W, connect the positive lead to one contact of the bulb and the other contact of the bulb to the positive
   the terminal of the battery.
   When properly connected, the bulb must briefly light up and go out Now you may connect the positive lead to the (+) of the battery. If the light does not go out, then something is wrong. This will prevent damage to the amplifier in case of reverse polarity and unwanted sparks when connecting. Install the rest of the fuses.

10. To activate the amplifier, it is necessary to apply the positive potential of 12 volts to the control input of the amplifier (REM IN) through a switch or a corresponding control output (REMOTE OUT) with the head unit (HU).

11. LED indicator on the front of the amplifier turns blue to indicate that the amplifier is turned on. If the indicator does not light up see the chapter “Possible faults and their solutions” for more information.

12. The sound level is calibrated by adjusting the volume of the source up to 3/4 of its maximum level. Then, adjust the sensitivity level of the amplifier up until you hear distortions.

SELECTION OF THE DIAMETER OF POWER CABLES AND SPEAKER CABLES

Selection of the diameter of the power cables
Use the table below to select the desired diameter based on the length and the current consumption.

Selection of the diameter of the speaker cables
Use the table below to select the desired diameter based on the length and the power consumption.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

Connect the speaker cables from the positive and negative terminals of the speakers to the respective outputs of the amplifier terminal marked with CH1 / CH2, CH3 /CH4 SPEAKERS OUTPUTS, as shown at the dia_gram. To connect the power wire supply it is necessary to use seecial power cables. The fuse is placed in the holder and fixed in the cable cut. One end of the cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, the second one to the amplifier terminals marked with + 12V. Be sure to use a
fuse with the parameters sufficient for use in the system. The len_gth and diameter of the grounding cable must conform to the length and diameter of the cable + 12V. Connect one end to the negative terminals of the battery and the other end of the grounding cable to the terminals marked with GND. Connect the head unit (HU) to low-level inputs of the amplifier using an RCA cable.
