Key recommendations

You can find below some key recommendations to get the most out of your amplifier:

1. Read this instruction manual carefully before carrying out any connection; Any connection to the amplifier input or output must be carried out when the amplifier is off;
2. Check carefully the polarity of power supply wiring (battery’s positive and negative terminals) loudspeakers and the minimum speaker impedance;
3. It is compulsory to install fuses to protect against overloading. The fuse or circuit breaker must be installed as close as possible to the battery and sized up according to the amplifier;
4. The gauge of power supply wiring is extremely important both to reach the desired amplifier output and to the amplifier’s safety. Use the wire gauge recommended in this manual (page 6). Using wire gauges below the specified value will result in power loss and overheating of cables. The power supply cables must be the shortest possible;
5. The amplifier must be installed in a firm and ventilated area;
6. To avoid interferences, the signal cable (RCA) must be away from the original wiring of a vehicle or any other power supply cable;
7. High-power amplifiers have higher current consumption and require the installation of additional batteries;
8. Do not use any connector, or original vehicle power cable to install this system;
9. It is expressly forbidden to move the vehicle with this sound system in operation;
10. Avoid children when installing and recharging the system. “No high voltage point should be exposed after the installation has finished”.

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 Procedure

1. Follow all procedures described below;
2. If you do not follow the proper procedures by qualified professionals, Taramps is exempted of any responsibility;
3. Insulate completely all system connections, thus avoiding electrical contact with the vehicle chassis;
4. Accessories and peripherals (such as Head Units, equalizers, crossover, or other equipment requiring power at 12 volts) should be eliminated from the original vehicle connections.
5. The equipment will be supplied by the of auxiliary batteries bank, designed according to the system needing;
6. Circuit breakers must be installed in a visible and easily accessible place for operating, and system maintenance;
7. The batteries must be insulated once installed, to avoid electric shock, sparks, and/or damage to the vehicle;
8. All connections should be made with all circuit breakers off.

TURNING ON THE AMPLIFIER

Functions & input

1. INPUT: Connect to the RCA output of the Head Unit using good-quality shielded cables to avoid noise pickup. The signals from the Land R inputs are mixed (added) internally.
2. THRU-OUT: This output (Land R) can send the same input signal (INPUT) to another amplifier.
3. LEVEL: Adjust the sensitivity of the amplifier input, to get better performance and volume.
4. CROSSOVER
   • HIGH PASS: Variable adjustment from 10Hz to 90Hz, which determines the beginning of the amplifier operating frequency.
   • LOW PASS: Variable adjustment from 90Hz to 10KHz, which determines the end of the amplifier operating frequency
5. MONITOR Connection to an accessory, whose 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 simultaneously.
6. 12.6 VDC POSITIVE TERMINAL (1.5A): Use an exclusive 12.6V battery and relay (driven by the remote signal from the Head Unit. See diagram at page 06).
7. FANS: HV 20.000 has four internal ventilation coolers, which can not be blocked. For perfect operation, the amplifier must be installed in a cool and dry place. We recommend not embedding it, so that air can circulate throughout the inside of the product, thus preventing the thermal shutdown.

LEDS indicators/protections

• GREEN LED (HV): Indicates high voltage presence at the power terminals.
• BLUE LED (ON): Indicates powered amplifier.
• YELLOW LED (CLIPPING): Indicator of clipping and protection. (See protections below).
• RED LED (PROTECTION): Indicator of protection. (See protections below).
• SHORT: Red LED on.
• LOW VOLTAGE (HV): Blue LED alternating with yellow.
• HIGH VOLTAGE (HV): Blue LED alternating with red.
• MISSING (HV): Blue LED blinking.
• TEMPERATURE: Flashing yellow LED. Voltage 12V
• LOW VOLTAGE 12V: If the voltage is less than 9VDC, the red LED flashes 2x.
• HIGH VOLTAGE 12V: If the voltage exceeds 16VDC, red LED flashes 3x.

Supply Connector

Output & power supply connector

HIGH VOLTAGE

1. SPEAKER +: Output connector positive for loudspeakers.
2. POWER +: Positive power input for high voltage.
3. POWER-: Negative power input for high voltage.
4. SPEAKER Output connector negative for loudspeakers.
5. FANS: HV20,000 has four internal ventilation fans, which can not be blocked. For perfect operation, the amplifier must be installed in a cool and dry place. We recommend not embedding it, so that air can circulate throughout the inside of the product, thus preventing the thermal shutdown.

Please note:

• This is a device that will be high-voltage powered.
• As in any electronic equipment take care to not cause any incident during installation.
• We recommend using well-insulated tools.
• Cables and circuit breakers should be of good quality with their connections well protected and insulated following the specified gauge.
• Wrongly dimensioned wiring may degrade the amplifier performance and cause power loss, wiring heating, and serious risk of fire.
• The wiring gauge recommended is described in the scheme on page 06.

The sale, purchasing, or installation of this product by those under 21 years of age is forbidden. This product is powered by HIGH VOLTAGE. Risk of electric shock. Danger of Death. Maximum care should be taken to avoid personal injury while installing or operating the amplifier.

Interconnections

Installing one or more batteries is necessary to work at 12.6 Volts, to supply the pre-amplifier and other equipment that require this same voltage as Head Unit, crossover, equalizers, amplifiers, etc. As shown in the scheme.

• The gauge for the output cable is 21mm?, calculated with a maximum length of 2m.
• Attention! Do not use the vehicle chassis as a system grounding point.
• Is forbidden the locomotion of the vehicle with this sound system in operation.
• For maximum power and amplifier performance, use 13×70 amps batteries at least.

Charging the battery bank

The 15 A battery charger isn’t included .

Examples of connections

• Connection 12 Speakers 8 OHMS
• Connection 8 Speakers 4 OHMS
• Connection 8 Speakers 2 OHMS

Technical features

NOTE.:

• The HV 20.000 has a controlled thermal protection system.
• When the amplifier reaches the temperature equivalent to 80°C (194°F) thermal protection acts, the audio is stopped and the yellow LED will flash.
• Only when the amplifier is back to a temperature less than 70°C (158°F) it resumes normal operation.
• After a thermal shutdown, we recommend keeping the amplifier on, so the cooling time is shorter, due to the ventilation of the coolers.
