Indledning

The Axxess AXLOC-FD2 is a 2-channel line output converter designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with factory audio systems in select Ford vehicles from 2011 and newer. This device converts high-level speaker signals from the factory radio into low-level RCA signals, providing a clean and adjustable output for your amplifier. It also provides a 12-volt accessory output for amptænding af liften.

Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Frakobl altid køretøjets negative batteripol, inden du påbegynder nogen form for installation.
Sørg for, at alle ledningsforbindelser er sikre og korrekt isolerede for at forhindre kortslutninger.
Kontakt en professionel installatør af bilstereo, hvis du er usikker på nogen del af installationsprocessen.
Do not operate the vehicle's audio system at excessively high volumes for prolonged periods, as this may cause hearing damage.
Mount the converter in a location that is protected from moisture and excessive heat.

Wiring Diagram and Connections:

Afbryd batteriet: Før start skal den negative pol på køretøjets batteri frakobles for at forhindre kortslutninger.
Access Factory Radio: Carefully remove the necessary trim panels and components to gain access to the back of the factory radio.
Identificér højttalerledninger: Using a vehicle-specific wiring diagram or a multimeter, identify the factory speaker output wires (positive and negative for each channel) from the factory radio harness.
Connect Input Harness: Connect the vehicle-specific wiring harness provided with the AXLOC-FD2 to the factory radio harness. This harness will typically plug in-line with the factory radio, intercepting the speaker outputs.
Connect AXLOC-FD2 Module: Plug the main connector from the vehicle-specific harness into the AXLOC-FD2 module.
Tilslut RCA-udgange: Connect the RCA output cables from the AXLOC-FD2 module to the RCA inputs of your aftermarket amplivligere.
Connect Remote Turn-On: The AXLOC-FD2 provides a 12-volt accessory output (remote turn-on) for your amplifier. Connect this wire to the remote turn-on input of your amplifier. This eliminates the need to find a separate switched 12V source.
Jordforbindelse: Ensure the AXLOC-FD2 module has a solid ground connection. The vehicle-specific harness should provide this, but always verify.
Montering: Securely mount the AXLOC-FD2 module in a suitable location, away from heat and moisture, ensuring it does not interfere with any moving parts or vehicle components.

Betjeningsvejledning

Forstærkningsjustering:

The AXLOC-FD2 features adjustable gain controls to match the output level of the factory radio to the input sensitivity of your aftermarket amplifier. Proper gain setting is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent distortion.

Indledende indstilling: Start with the gain controls on the AXLOC-FD2 set to their minimum position (fully counter-clockwise).
Amplifier gevinst: Set the gain control on your aftermarket amplifier to its minimum position.
Afspil musik: Play a dynamic piece of music through your factory radio at about 75% of its maximum volume.
Adjust AXLOC-FD2 Gain: Slowly increase the gain controls on the AXLOC-FD2 until you hear a slight distortion, then back off slightly until the sound is clean.
Tilpasse Amplifier gevinst: Once the AXLOC-FD2 gain is set, slowly increase the gain control on your amplifier until the desired volume is achieved without distortion.
Finjustering: Make small adjustments to both the AXLOC-FD2 and amplifier gains as needed to achieve the best sound quality. Avoid setting gains too high, as this will introduce distortion and can damage speakers.

Fejlfinding

Problem	Mulig årsag	Løsning
No audio output from amplivligere	Loose RCA connections Intet fjerntændingssignal til amplivligere Incorrect input wiring to AXLOC-FD2 Ampikke strømforsynet	Check and secure all RCA cables. Verify remote turn-on wire is connected and receiving 12V. Double-check speaker input wiring from factory radio. Sikre amplifier has power and ground connections.
Forvrænget eller dårlig lydkvalitet	Gain levels set too high Dårlig jordforbindelse Forkert højttalerpolaritet	Re-adjust gain settings on AXLOC-FD2 and amplifier (refer to Operating Instructions). Verify a solid, clean ground connection for both AXLOC-FD2 and amplivligere. Check speaker wire polarity; ensure positive and negative are consistent.
Hissing or whining noise	Jordsløjfe interferens Poor quality RCA cables	Ensure all components are grounded to the same point. Try routing RCA cables away from power wires. Consider using higher quality shielded RCA cables.
