Operation and Function
- Power Connections- These connections are for input power, chassis ground, and remote turn-on. Use a minimum of 18 gauge wire for power and ground connections. The power wire should be fused with a 1 amp fuse.
- Input Gain Adjustment- This control matches the input level of your ioem8 with the output level of your source unit.
- Power Indicator- This LED indicates when the ioem8 .is powered on.
- Maximum Indicator- This LED indicates when the signal is at its maximum level before distortion occurs. When the input “Gain” adjustment is set correctly and the source unit is at its maximum volume this LED should flicker intermittently.
- Summing Indicators- These LED’s indicate when a channel is being summed with the main channel.
- RCA Outputs- These RCA output jacks provide a full range signal to your amplifier. Channel 4 has one additional feature. When there is no signal present on Channel 4, Channel 3’s input will automatically be sent out Channel 4.
- AUX Input- This RCA input jack allows you to connect an additional source to the ioem8 such as an I pod.
- Remote Control- This port is for the dual function Cerwin Vega Mobile remote control (Included). The first function is source selection. Pushing the control knob in will toggle the ioem8’s input between the AUX and Main channels. The second function allows the user to control the level of Channel 4’s output up to the maximum adjustment level set on the ioem8. This control does not add any additional gain, it only attenuates the level at which the ioem8 was set.
- High Level Inputs- Each terminal block allows for a high level left and right channel signal to be input from the source unit. All four inputs are full range inputs.
lnstallatio1n Guidelines
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
- Always mount the unit in a fashion so that it can be easily accessible for making adjustments.
- Avoid mounting the unit to subwoofer enclosures or high vibration areas.
- Do not cover the unit with carpet or any other material.
- Do not mount the unit in the engine compartment or anywhere that it will be subject to high temperatures, (ie, direct sunlight or heater) moisture, dust or dirt.
- Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect wires when routing them through metal.
- Always keep signal wires away from high current power wires.
- The ground connection should always be the first connection made.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Ground Connection (GND)
The main ground connection should be made between the and terminal on the unit
and a metal part of the vehicle close to the mounting location. This wire
needs to be as short as possible to minimize the possibility of induced noise.
You should use 18 gauge wire or larger for the ground connection. The metal
point on the vehicle where the ground connection is made needs to have all
paint removed and be scuffed down to the bare metal. The ground wire should
have a ring terminal soldered to it and be bolted directly to the vehicle with
the use of a star washer. Do not ground the unit near existing (factory)
ground points. These areas generally have multiple devices grounded to them
and can cause induced noise.
Power Connection {+12V)
The main power connection should be made at the battery. This will ensure that
the unit receives the best possible connection to minimize noise. There must
be an inline fuse (1 amp) placed in series with the unit. The fuse should be
within 18″ of the battery. You should use 18 gauge wire or larger for the
power connection. The power wire should have a ring terminal soldered to it
and be bolted to the vehicles battery. Do not install the fuse in the holder
until all the systems connections have been made.
Remote In
This unit is turned on by applying +12 VDC to the remote turn-on terminal.
This terminal should be connected to the remote lead from the car stereo. This
remote lead from the source unit will trigger a +12V output only when the car
stereo is turned on. If the source unit does not provide a remote turn on you
can use the accessory terminal in the cars fuse block. This will however turn
the unit on and off with the key, regardless of whether the source unit is on
or off.
Remote Out
This unit is equipped with a signal sensing circuit that can detect a signal
on its input and provide a +12V output signal to turn on an aftermarket
amplifier. Connect this to the remote terminal on an aftermarket amplifier.
Internal Jumper Options
- Isolation Jumpers- This jumper provides three different ground isolation options for the input of the ioem8. The three input options include GND, Isolation, and 200ohms. Make sure the ioem8 is turned off before making your selection.
- Blending Jumpers- These jumpers are used to select either a Direct (separate) or a Blended (summed) output. In the direct position the signal on an individual channels input will come out the same channels output. In the blended position the signals on two or more channels can be combined with Channel 1 to provide one full range output. All of the channels that have been selected to have their inputs blended will be combined and output onto Channel 1. Each of the remaiining channels being blended (2, 3, & 4) will have the same signal on their channels output as what is on their input (not a full range output like Channel 1 ).
