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 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. Using wire gauges below the specified value will result in power loss and overheating of cables. It is important that the power supply cables are the shortest possible;
5. Amplifier must be installed in a firm and ventilated area;
6. In order to avoid interferences, the signal cable (RCA) must be away from the original wiring of vehicle or from 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.

Note

• 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.

Installation Procedure

1. Follow all procedures described below;
2. If you do not follow the proper procedures by qualified professionals, Taramps is exempled of any responsibility;
3. Insulate completely all system connections, this avoiding electrical contact with the vehicle chassi;
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. The equipment will be supplied by the of auxiliary batteries bank, designed according to system needings;
5. Circuit breakers must be installed in a visible and easily access place for operating, and system maintenance;
6. The batteries must be insulated once installed, to avoid electric shock, sparks and/or damage to vehicle;
7. All connections should be made with all circuit breakers off.

TURNING ON THE AMPLIFIER

1. Check that any system is not shorted or in contact with the chassis of the vehicle;
2. Check carefully if the negative points of high voltage batteries bank and 12.6 VDC battery negative point are connected together;
3. Connect the speakers in its output;
4. Make sure that your batteries are properly charged;
5. Keep the volume control (Level) at the minimum;
6. Turn on the remote to activate the preamp;
7. After checking the preamplifier, disconnect the remote, activate the circuit breakers and turn-on the remote again;
8. Set all volume settings, frequency cuts and enjoy all the advantages of your new amplifier.

CARING OF YOUR SOUND SYSTEM

1. After the use of the sound system, turn off all circuit breakers;
2. Never move the vehicle with activated circuit breakers;
3. Do not connect the battery charger with the sound system in operation;
4. Do not add any other battery charger; Use only the specified charger.
5. Do not start the vehicle engine with the sound system in operation;
6. The engine starting (ignition) is only allowed once all circuit breakers are turned off.

NOTE

• Failure to comply with any of the above procedures fully exempts Taramps from any liability for the risks of its use. So for you can take advantage of this high technology, high quality and powerful amplifier, be sure to follow step by step all safety procedures, otherwise it could implies the loss of warranty.
• For further information please contact our Technical Department to solve all doubts.
• All electrical and electronic equipment installation must be made by qualified and trained professionals.

Warning

• “Your life is valuable. Avoid accidents. Depending on the severity of an electric shock, it can cost your life”.

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, in order 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, 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 simultaneously.
6. 12.6 VDC POSITIVE TERMINAL (1.5A): Use an exclusive 12.6V battery and relay (driven by the remote signal from Head Unit.).
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 protections. (See protections below).
• RED LED (PROTECTION): Indicator of protections. (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, red LED flashes 2x.
• HIGH VOLTAGE 12V: If the voltage exceeds 16VDC, red LED flashes 3x.

Output & power supply connector

HIGH VOLTAGE

1. SPEAKER +: Output connector positive for loud speakers.
2. POWER +: Positive power input for high voltage.
3. POWER-: Negative power input for high voltage.
4. SPEAKER-: Output connector negative for loud speakers.
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 of well insulated tools.
Cables and circuit breakers should be good quality with its connections well protected and insulated following the specified gauge.
Wrongly dimensioned wiring may degrade the amplifier performance and causes power loss, wiring heating and serious risk of fire.
The wiring gauge recommended described in scheme on page 06.

21+: The sale, purchasing or installation of this product by those under 21 years 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 operation 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.

Attention:  Do not use the vehicle chassis as system grounding point.

Is forbidden the locomotion of the vehicle with this in sound system in operation. For maximum power and amplifier performance, use 13 x 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 back to a temperature less than 70°C (158°F) it resumes the normal operation.

After a thermal shutdown we recommend keep the amplifier on, so the cooling time is shorter, due to the ventilation of the coolers.
