BLAUPUNKT XLf 150 A Active Subwoofer

INTRODUCTION

Proper system planning is vital in order to maximize the device’s performance and road safety. Plan your installation carefully to avoid compromising performance reliability of the system. Consult an authorized Blaupunkt dealer for installation or reparation. Read the manual carefully before operating the device for the first time.

Safety Notes

Ensure to follow below safety notes during installation and wiring connection : –

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Refer to the safety notes of vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure positions of the holes are nowhere near the vehicle component to avoid any damage during drilling.
Ensure cross section of the cable is no less than 2.5mm2 if the positive and negative cables are too long.
Incorrect installation may result in malfunction of the device or the car sound system.

Installation and Connection Instructions

Select a dry and well-ventilated location to install the device.
The device must not be installed on the rear shelf, rear seats or exposed locations.
The installation location must be suitable for screw holes and have stable ground support.

Intergrated Fuse

The integrated fuse in the device protects the output voltage and the entire electrical system in case of malfunction. Do not replace damaged fuse with higher current.

Switching On/Off

This device will automatically turn on if audio sig- nal is detected. The device will also automatically turn off if audio signal is received.

Voltage Supply

Use the supplied power extension cable to connect to the positive battery terminal.
Firmly and carefully connect the ground lead to a bare metal point on the vehicle chassis.
The control of the device should be a two-channel control, either via the preamplifier output of the car sound system.
A control solely via the right or left channel is also possible since the low-frequency portion of the music is generally identical on both channels.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If any of the following problem occur, please resort to Troubleshooting for the possible solutions. Consult Blaupunkt authorized dealer if problem persist.

Problems	Solutions
Amplifier power up failure	Examine if the ground connection is intact.

Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Ensure supplied voltage is minimum 12V.
Examine if fuse is broken and replace if necessary.
Restart the device if protection LED light is on.
Protection LED lights on when amplifier turn on| Examine speaker wire had short-circuit.
Turn colume down from head unit to prevent overdriving the device.
Device might need service or repair, if protection LED light is still on after resetting the device.
No sound output| Examine fuses and replace if necessary.
Examine ground connection is intact.
Examine if remote input has at least 5V DC.
Examine if RCA audio cables are connected to the right inputs.
Examine if speaker wiring is intact.
Low sound output| Reset Level Control.
Examine the Crossover Control setting.
Buzzing noise| Observe if the device is still producing noise after turning on and off the amplifier. If yes, examine if the cables are correctly connected and if the cables and radio are in good condition. Repair or replace if the cables or the radio are not in good condition.
Squealing noise interference| Ensure RCA connections are properly connected.
Distorted sound output| Ensure input level of the device matches the signal level of the head unit.
Always set the input level to the lowest.
Examine if crossover frequency is set correctly.
Examine if speaker wire had short-circuit.
Amplifier temperature

increased

| Examine the minimum speaker impedance for the amp models is correct.
Ensure good air ventilation around the device. Add external cooling fan if necessary.
Engine noise (static

sound) interference

| Usually caused by poor RCA cable quality, which release noise. Use only the best quality cables, and route them away from power cables.
Engine noise (alternator whine) interference| Examine if RCA cable are nowhere near or attached to the vehicle chassis.
Examine if head unit is properly connected to the wires.
