4. Installation

4.1 Tjekliste før installation

• Sørg for, at køretøjets batteri er frakoblet.
• Gather all necessary tools and wiring materials (power wire, ground wire, remote turn-on wire, speaker wire, RCA cables, fuse holder, fuse).
• Planlæg amplifier mounting location, ensuring adequate ventilation and protection from moisture.

4.2 Montering af Amplivligere

Choose a secure, dry location with sufficient airflow. Avoid mounting on carpet or in enclosed spaces without ventilation. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the amplifier firmly to a solid surface in the vehicle.

4.3 Ledningsforbindelser

Refer to the wiring diagram below for proper connection of power, ground, remote turn-on, and speaker wires.

Billede 4.1: Overview of amplifier tilslutninger.

4.3.1 Strømtilslutning (+12V)

• Connect a heavy gauge power cable (e.g., 4-gauge) directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the +12V terminal on the amplivligere.
• Install an in-line fuse holder with an appropriate fuse (e.g., 75 Amps) within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.

4.3.2 Jordforbindelse (GND)

• Connect a heavy gauge ground cable (e.g., 4-gauge) from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle's chassis.
• Ensure the ground point is free of paint, rust, or dirt for a good electrical connection.

4.3.3 Fjerntændingsforbindelse (REM)

• Connect a smaller gauge wire (e.g., 18-gauge) from the remote turn-on output of your head unit to the REM terminal on the amplivligere.
• This wire signals the amplifier til at tænde og slukke med hovedenheden.

4.3.4 Højttalerforbindelser

• Connect your speakers to the SPEAKER CONNECTIONS terminals.
• For stereo operation, connect one speaker to the L+ and L- terminals and another to the R+ and R- terminals.
• For bridged mode (mono operation for a subwoofer), connect the subwoofer to the L+ and R- terminals. Ensure the subwoofer impedance is 4 Ohms for bridged mode.

4.3.5 Input Connections (RCA or High-Level)

• RCA Inputs (Low-Level): Connect RCA cables from the head unit's RCA outputs to the INPUTS R and L jacks on the amplivligere.
• Input på højt niveau: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the HIGH LEVEL INPUTS. Connect the speaker wires from the head unit to the corresponding terminals.

5. Betjeningsknapper

The AC1200.2 amplifier features several controls for fine-tuning your audio system. These controls are located on the amplifier's input panel.

Billede 5.1: Amplifier control panel showing input and crossover adjustments.

5.1 Indgangskontrol

• SENSITIVITY (Gain Control): Denne knap justerer indgangsfølsomheden for ampvæske, der matcher udgangsvolumenettage of your head unit. Start with the gain at minimum and slowly increase it until the desired volume is achieved without distortion. This is not a volume control.
• BASS BOOST: Adjusts the bass level at a specific frequency. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.

5.2 Crossover Controls

• MODE Switch (FULL/HPF/LPF): Selects the operating mode for the crossover filter.
  • FULD: Full range audio signal passes through.
  • HPF (Højpasfilter): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through. Useful for full-range speakers to prevent low-frequency distortion.
  • LPF (lavpasfilter): Tillader frekvenser under sætpunktet at passere igennem. Essentielt for subwoofere.
• HIGH PASS FREQ: Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the High Pass Filter.
• LOW PASS FREQ: Adjusts the cutoff frequency for the Low Pass Filter.

5.3 Remote Subwoofer Level Control

The included remote subwoofer level control allows you to adjust the subwoofer output from your listening position. Connect it to the 'REMOTE SUBWOOFER LEVEL CONTROL' port on the ampved hjælp af det medfølgende kabel.

  • Ensure the remote turn-on wire is receiving +12V from the head unit when it is on.
• Ingen lyd:
  • Bekræft amplifier is powered on (power indicator light is illuminated).
  • Check all RCA or high-level input connections from the head unit to the amplivligere.
  • Kontroller højttalerledningernes forbindelser på begge amplifier og højttalerne.
  • Adjust the gain control. Ensure it is not set to minimum.
  • Check head unit settings (volume, fader, balance).
• Forvrænget lyd:
  • Reduce the gain control setting. Excessive gain can cause distortion.
  • Kontroller højttalerimpedansen. Sørg for, at den er inden for amplifier's acceptable range.
  • Verify speaker wires are not shorted or touching the vehicle chassis.
  • Adjust Bass Boost settings. High bass boost can cause distortion.
• Amplifier Overheating / Protection Mode:
  • Sørg for amplifier has adequate ventilation. Clear any obstructions around the cooling fins.
  • Check speaker impedance. Running speakers below the minimum recommended impedance (e.g., below 2 Ohms stereo or 4 Ohms bridged) can cause overheating.
  • Verify power and ground wire gauge is sufficient for the amplifiers udgangseffekt.
  • Reducer forstærkningsindstillingen.
