Sikkerhedsinstruktioner
- Frakobl altid bilens negative batteripol, inden du påbegynder elektrisk arbejde.
- Sørg for, at alle ledninger er korrekt isoleret og fastgjort for at forhindre kortslutninger og skader.
- Monter amplifier in a location that is protected from direct water exposure, excessive heat, and vibration. While marine-grade, direct submersion or constant heavy spray should be avoided.
- Brug passende ledningsføring til strøm- og jordforbindelser som angivet i installationsafsnittet.
- Åbn ikke ampliber casing. Der er ingen dele indeni, som kan serviceres af brugeren. Overlad al service til kvalificeret personale.
- Avoid routing power cables near sensitive audio cables to prevent noise interference.

Ledningsforbindelser
Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring connections. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

Billede: Detaljeret view of the Pyle Hydra Marine PLMRA402 amplifier's connection panel, labeling the Power Supply Terminal, Fuse, Speaker Terminals, Low Impedance Input, RCA inputs, and Input Gain Controls.
- Strømtilslutning (+12V): Connect a heavy-gauge wire (e.g., 8-gauge or 10-gauge) directly from the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Install an appropriate fuse (20A recommended, typically supplied) within 18 inches of the battery.
- Jordforbindelse (GND): Connect a heavy-gauge wire of the same size as the power wire from the GND terminal on the amplifier to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis or boat's ground point. Ensure a good electrical connection.
- Fjerntænding (REM): Connect a wire from the remote output of your head unit (usually a blue/white wire) to the REM terminal on the ampDenne ledning drejer amptænd og sluk for støjrelæet med din hovedenhed.
- RCA-indgang: Connect RCA cables from the RCA outputs of your head unit to the "LOW INPUT" RCA jacks on the amplivligere.
- Input på højt niveau: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, connect the speaker output wires from your head unit to the "HIGH INPUT" terminals on the amplifier. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- Højttaler output: Connect your speakers to the "SPEAKERS" terminals. The PLMRA402 supports 4-channel stereo operation or can be bridged for 2-channel operation. Ensure correct polarity and impedance (4 or 8 Ohm).

Gain Level Adjustment
The GAIN level controls adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier. This is not a volume control. It should be set to match the output voltage på din hovedenhed.
- Start with the GAIN controls set to minimum (MIN).
- Turn your head unit volume up to about 75-80% of its maximum.
- Øg langsomt GAIN-kontrollen på amplifier until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly until the sound is clear.
- Repeat for all channels.

Operation
Når den er korrekt installeret og konfigureret, amplifier will turn on automatically when your head unit is powered on (via the remote turn-on wire). The LED indicator will illuminate to show the amplifier er i drift.
- LED-indikator: A green LED indicates normal operation. If the LED changes color or turns off unexpectedly, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
- Lydoutput: De amplifier will boost the audio signal from your head unit, providing clearer and louder sound through your speakers.
Opretholdelse
The Pyle Hydra Marine PLMRA402 ampLifier kræver minimal vedligeholdelse.
- Rensning: Tør regelmæssigt af ampLifiers ydre med en blød, damp klæde. Brug ikke skrappe kemikalier eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
- Inspektion: Regularly check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion, especially in marine environments. Ensure the fuse is intact and properly seated.
