PROTECTION SYSTEM AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Short Circuit protection:
If short circuit is detected in output terminals, the amplifier shuts down an the red LED lights up. The equipment
must be turned off, solve the short circuit problem and turn the equipment on again. If the problem is solved,
the blue LED must light up. If the load impedance is lower than the amplifier specification, the equipment may
trigger the short circuit protection.
Low Voltage Protection:
When battery voltage is lower than 9Vdc, the amplifier will shut down and the yellow LED will blink until the
equipment is restarted.
Power Supply Inverted Cable Protection:
If the power supply cables are connected inverted, the internal fuse will blow.
Troubleshooting:
Protection triggered
1. Check if the internal fuse is blown. If so, replace it with a same current rate fuse (Megaval 225A) Viking 5000.
(Megaval 250A) Viking 8000.
2. Check if there is short circuit in the output terminals. To do it, turn off the amplifier, disconnect all speakers
and the input RCA cable and wait about 20 seconds. Turn on the amplifier again and if the blue LED lights up, the
amplifier is operating normally.
3. Check if any speaker is presenting short circuit or the total impedance load is lower than the amplifier
specification.
4. Check if there is enough current in battery to supply the amplifier and if the cables are capable of conduct that
current.
Output Noise
1. Check if there is loose connection in signal input or in the RCA cable.
2. Check if there is ground connection in the radio/cd RCA output.
3. Check if RCA cables are wired separated from the power cables.
4. Check if the +12Vdc that powers the amplifier is coming directly from the battery.
5. Check if ground cable is connected in car chassis as near as possible of the amplifier.
6. Both radio/cd and amplifier must be firmly connected to car chassis ground to avoid noises and voltage
fluctuations at amplifier output.

1. • Blue LED: On
2. • Red LED: Blinking - output clipping (distortion) / Constant - output short circuit
3. • Yellow LED: Blinking - low voltage battery / Constant - Fuse blown or missing
4. Gain control
CLIP INDICATOR
The red LED lights up when the amplifier output is distorting. As long as the speakers used are capable
of handle the total output power this LED can eventually blink but if it holds still it means too much
distortion in the output and this can damage the speakers and the amplifier. In this case, turn down
the head unit volume.
1. Negative power input (ground): connect to car chassis.
2. Protection fuse: 225A (VIKING 5000) 250A (VIKING 8000)
3. Remote input: connect to radio/cd remote output.
4. Positive power input (+12Vdc): connect to baterry positive terminal.

Wire the power cables in thisorder: first GND, second +12Vdc and for last the remote.
With the remote off, connect the RCA cable and the speakers cables. Check all the connections
looking for loose connections or short circuits.
If everything is ok, turn the remote on through the radio/cd player. The blue led must light up .
The amplifier must be installed in a secure place, well ventilated and away from sources of strong
vibrations (as speakers boxes).

CONNECTION EXAMPLES
NOTE: These are basic projects, just given as examples.
Important notes:
• Use 1/0AWG power cables for both GND and +12Vdc.
• Do not use impedance load lower than the amplifier specification. This can damage the equipment.
• Use wire solder for tinning the cable end for better electrical contact. Loose electrical connection can
cause malfunction, heating and even fire
• The GND connection must be as short as possible, using adequate wire terminal firmly connected to
a clean, paint free spot at the car chassis.
• If more than one amplifier is used, provide adequate individual wiring for each one.
•If using two amplifiers to play a single unit double coil speaker make sure to use the same input signal
and adjust the control gain in both units precisely at the same value.
• When the internal fuse blow, the yellow LED will blink for a moment and than keep turned on.
•There is no current consumption when the remote input is off.
• If using power supply to power the amplifier, it must be capable of supply between 12.6 – 14.4Vdc
with at least the amplifier maximum current value and maximum output variation (Vripple) of 10%.
