Operating Instructions
WARNING
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS
When making connections to the vehicle’s electrical system,
be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board
computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power
for this unit. When connecting the device to the fuse box,
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the device has
the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in fire
or damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt,
consult your Alpine dealer.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE
NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to
electrical shorts .
DO NOT ROUTE ELECTRICAL CABLES NEAR HOT OR
MOVING PARTS.
Route the cables and wiring away from hot or moving parts,
and fix them securely to avoid heat/mechanical damage to the
cable insulation, which may result in a short circuit, fire or
electric shock.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying
capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL
OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement
etc. and results in serious accident.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING
HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes,
fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such
precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING
SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS. Bolts or nuts
used for the brake or steering systems (or any
other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used
for installations or ground connections. Using such parts
could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so
may result in fire, etc.
WHEN USING A DRILL TO MAKE A HOLE, TAKE
PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS WEARING GOGGLES SO
FRAGMENTS DO NOT GET INTO THE EYES.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY
EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special
technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have
the work done.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like
the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent
crimping and damage to the wiring.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the
nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.
CHECK WIRING WHEN ATTACHING.
Double-check your wiring to ensure all connections are
correct and secure. Also, do not apply unnecessary force to
the harness. This can result in battery failure, performance
failure, connector damage, or wire breakage.
DO ONLY USE FOR ALPINE HEADUNIT, AV OR AVN
UNIT. NEVER USE WITH AMPLIFIERS.
This device is designed to work with head units, AV or
AVN units. It is safe to buffer a steering wheel remote
interface if the car is equipped with one. Never connect
amplifiers or other devices with high power consumption
to it! Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of
the product and result in serious damage or fire.

Feature
This product detects the battery voltage of a vehicle and buffers the output voltage at 12VDC when
sudden drops in the input voltage are detected. Such drops usually happen during engine cranking or
re-start in case of cars with stop/ start function.
The KPX-100B can buffer one CD- Tuner or Mobile Media Station (or similar product) plus a steering
wheel remote control or CAN interface.
Amplifiers and other high current products must under no circumstances be connected to the output of
the KPX-100B.
