Model: SEI-SEMRN1DIN

Installation Guide

Important

• Please read this Installation Guide and the User Guide before installation and use. If you are unsure about installing this product, please contact a professional audio installer.
• The 1 DIN Marine Radio is designed to be installed into standard 1 DIN openings, or a smaller custom opening (refer to Mount the Radio in a New Location for details), in boats, golf carts, cars, and off-road vehicles. Mounting and wiring may vary for  different types of vehicles and are called out in this installation guide.
• When you plan your Radio installation, please ensure that the mounting surface is flat for best front panel sealing, check for potential obstacles behind the mounting surface, and confirm that the mounting surface has adequate clearance around the back of the Radio for open airflow and for heat ventilation.
• Mount this product securely to prevent damage or injury in severe conditions.
• BEFORE installation, disconnect any and all negative leads from the battery’s negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire, and/or possible injury.
• The Radio requires +12V DC voltage for the power input. If your vehicle battery power is not 12V (e.g., 24V, 36V, or 48V), you will need a DC-DC voltage converter with 12V output (e.g. a 48V-to12V converter). Connecting the Radio directly to higher voltages will cause damage to the Radio and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
• The Radio power input has an in-line 35 Amp fuse. Do NOT replace the fuse with one of a different value and never bypass the fuse.
• The Radio has a Remote Turn-On Input feature; this is to ensure that the Radio is completely powered off (no battery consumption) when your vehicle is not in use. When the input has a signal between 12V and 56V, the Radio will turn on. When there is no  input voltage, the Radio will turn off. In general, this Remote Turn-On signal comes from the vehicle ignition switch.
• You will need to connect the (Purple) Remote Turn-On Wire to the vehicle ignition switch with the supplied (Purple) Remote Turn-On Extension Cable. If you are not able to connect it to your vehicle ignition switch, connect this input to a rocker switch (not included), then connect the rocker switch to a 12V-to-56V power supply on your vehicle or to a switch accessory panel.
• Alternatively, you can connect the Remote Turn-On Wire, together with the (Red) Power Wire, directly to the positive terminal of your vehicle’s battery. When the Radio is off, the battery consumption is minimal for vehicles whose batteries are charged  multiple times a week.
• The Radio has 3 Power States:
  • Powered – When the Radio has 12V power and your vehicle’s ignition switch (or a rocker switch) is turned on, your Radio is Powered. When it’s Powered, the Radio may be turned on (Powered On) automatically or on Standby:
  • Turn On (Power On) – When the Radio is in Turn On state, all functions are accessible.
  • Standby – When the Radio is on Standby, it goes into a lowpower consumption (sleep) mode. It turns off the Radio’s LED Screen and button backlights, and all the functions except the RF Remote Receiver, so that you can still use the Remote to turn the  Radio on.
  • Powered Off – When the vehicle’s ignition switch is turned off, your Radio is Powered Off. You will not be able to turn on your Radio by pressing the Power Button on your Radio or the included RF Remote Control.

Notes:

• When the Radio is in the Turn On State, you can press the Power Button on the Radio or the RF Remote Control to put the Radio into Standby State. If you press the Power Button again, it will
  turn on the Radio.

• The Radio saves its Turn On (Power On) and Standby last state into memory. When you turn on your vehicle’s ignition switch, the Radio will go back to the same Power State that it was in before it was Powered Off. For example, if your Radio is on and  playing music, and you turn off your vehicle ignition switch, then the next time you turn on your vehicle, your Radio will turn on automatically.

• The first time you turn on your vehicle ignition switch after installing your Radio, your Radio may turn on automatically, or enter Standby, depending on the Radio’s Power State when it was Powered Off during the factory QA testing processes. If your  Radio is not on, press the Power Button to turn it on.

• The Radio has an integrated LED lighting controller with four (4 Zones) LED lighting outputs. Each Zone can support multiple types of SoundExtreme LEDCast-enabled products. But it is NOT compatible with other manufactures’ LED strips or LED  whips. Do NOT make modifications to the LED connectors or try to connect the LED outputs to other manufacturers’ LED products. It may cause permanent damage to the Radio and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.

Installation and Wiring

Safety and Wiring Considerations

• For easier assembly, it is recommended you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.
• Pre-plan your system layout and best wiring routes to save installation time. Carefully route all system wiring away moving parts and sharp edges; secure with cable ties or wire clamps and use rubber or plastic grommets where appropriate to protect from sharp edges.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover any disconnected leads with electrical tape. It is important to insulate any unused wires, which, if left uncovered, may cause a short circuit.
• Do NOT connect the Power Cable to your Vehicle’s battery until all the installations and wirings are completed.
• When using the Extension Cable and/or connecting two wires (e.g., using supplied BUTT Connectors), make sure to seal the connection either by using electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. Failing to do this may result in long-term corrosion on the connection and cause a premature malfunction.
• Use high-quality, speaker cables and connectors to minimize signal or power loss. 16 AWG speaker cable is recommended for the Speaker Outputs.
• Route all of the audio cable and RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires

Wiring Harness
Four sets of wiring harnesses are included in the package for you to connect different signal inputs and outputs, depending on the audio and LED lighting control connections in your system.

Power Input and Remote Turn-On

1. Power In – An 8-foot 12 AWG SAE Power Cable is included for you to connect the Radio to your vehicle’s 12V battery.
   When you determine the power requirement from your battery, you need to check both the power consumptions on the audio and the LED lighting controls.
   · If you only have 4 non-amplified speakers connected to the 2 Audio Zones, and no LEDCast Products connected to the Radio, your 12V power source needs to be capable of supplying 15A.
   · If you have 4 non-amplified speakers connected to the 2 Audio Zones, and 4 LEDCast Products connected to the 4 LED Zones, you 12V power source needs to be capable of supplying 30A to support the maximum configuration of the connected LEDCast  Products. Depending on the type of LEDCast Product you have, it may require lower current capacity on the battery power source. Check your LEDCast Product’s specifications, or contact SoundExtreme customer service for details.
   Note: If you are connecting the LED controller to LED’s for SoundExtreme wired speakers, the incremental power draw by the LEDs is very small.

Once you determine all the wire connections between your Radio and your vehicle’s power or device (12V battery, ignition switch, speakers, audio power amplifier, and LEDCast Products), it is recommended that you follow the 3 steps below for wire connections:

1. Connect all the appropriate extension wires / cables to the J1, J2, and J3 Cable Harnesses.
2. Connect the other ends of the extension wires / cables to the audio device (speaker or amplifier) inputs and to the vehicle’s signals. Make sure you power off all the vehicle equipment and disconnect vehicle power supply from the vehicle’s battery BEFORE  you make any wire connections.
3. Isolate and seal all the unused wires / leads on the J1 Cable Harness. Please keep the caps on the unused jacks on the J2 and J3 Cable Harnesses. Leave the Power Cable and Remote Turn-On wire unconnected on both ends.

Proceed to the following wiring procedures.

Connect Wires to the 3 Cable Harnesses

1. Run all the wires from your Radio’s mounting location to the previously mentioned power or external device’s locations. Mark both ends of the wire / cable, so that you know which signal the wire / cable is for when looking at either end.

2. Connect audio inputs and outputs:
   · If you connect the Speaker Audio Output to non-amplified speakers, connect the audio extension wire to the corresponding wire on the J1 Cable Harness.
   · If you connect the pre-amplified audio output to amplified speakers or an audio power amplifier, connect the RCA extension cables to the corresponding RCA jacks on the J2 Cable Harness.
   When you connect the pre-amplified audio output to an audio power amplifier, you will also need to connect the Amp-On wire on the J1 Cable Harness to the corresponding input on the amplifier.
   · If you connect the Subwoofer output to a powered subwoofer or a subwoofer amplifier, connect the RCA extension cable to the Sub Out RCA connector on the J2 Cable Harness.
   · If you connect the Aux-In input to an audio source output (like Aux-Out), connect the RCA extension cable to the corresponding RCA jacks on the J2 Cable Harness.

3. Connect vehicle signal inputs:
   · If you want your Radio’s LCD screen to automatically dim when your vehicle’s lights are on, connect your vehicle’s illumination wire to the Dim-In input on the J1 Cable Harness.
   · If you connect LEDCast Products to the Zone 3 and 4 LED lighting control outputs on J3 Cable Harness, and want to use the Vehicle Signaling Features (see details below), connect to the Vehicle’s brake, reverse, left turn, and right turn signals to the  corresponding wires on the J1 Cable Harness.

4. Connect LED lighting control outputs:
   · If you have any LEDCast Products (ExtremeStrips, ExtremeWhips, wired speakers, tower speakers, etc.), connect the 3-pin round connector jack on the J3 Cable Harness to the jack on the LEDCast Product, with the 3-pin LED extension cable that comes  with the LEDCast Product.
   · There are 4 LED lighting control outputs (4 Zones) on the J3 Cable Harness. Refer to the 1 DIN Marine Radio User Guide for more details regarding the 4 Zones. Connecting an LEDCast Product to any of the 4 outputs (any Zone) will work. However, if  you have LEDCast Products connected to 2 outputs AND the vehicle signal inputs connected (as mentioned above), and you want to use the Vehicle Signaling Features, you need to connect one LEDCast Product to the Zone 3 output and another LEDCast  Product to the Zone 4 output.
   · When making the LED connection, connect the 3-pin female connector on J3 Cable Harness to the 3-pin male connector on the LED Extension cable.
   Align the arrow on both connectors, push in and screw the nut cap on the female connector. Then connect the 3-pin male connector on the LED Extension Cable to the female connector on the LEDCast Product.
   · If the cable is longer than required, do NOT cut the cable and reconnect. Instead, wrap the extra length on your vehicle and fasten the cable with zip ties. Please ensure the cable does NOT touch or drag on the ground AND is safely secured to prevent it  from coming into contact with any moving parts.

5. Secure unused wires and cables:
   · Insulate and seal all the unused / unconnected cables / bare wires on the J1 Cable Harness with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing (not included) to avoid short-circuiting.
   · All the RCA jacks and all the 3-pin round connector jacks on the J2 and J3 Cable Harnesses come with a removable plastic cap. Please secure the cap onto each unused jack.

6. Do NOT plug in the J1, J2, and J3 Cable Harnesses into the Radio until you are ready to mount the Radio to your vehicle.
