- 5. CAUTIONS ON WIRING I
1 Be sure to turn the power off when wiring
2
Be particularly careful where you route the wires
Keep them well away from the engine, exhaust pipe, etc Heat
may damage the wires
3If
the fuse should blow, check that the wiring is correct
If it is, replace
the fuse with a new one with the same amperage
rating as the original one
4To replace the fuse, open the lock on the source unit side, remove
the old fuse
and insert the new one (Figure 11)
* There are various types of fuse cases Do not let the battery
side terminal touch other metal parts
5 When Connecting the C-BUS extension cable, first put the includ-
ed zip tie through the hole in the case, connect the cable, then fas-
ten
the case and cable using the zip tie (Figure 12)
* The position and direction of the 13-pin DIN C-BUS input ter-
minal differ for
some models.
*Do not connect any C-BUS extension cables other than
Clarion-made cables
1S'assurer
de mettrel'appareil hors circuit avant de faire Ie cablage
2Faire particulieremeht attention lors de I'acheminement des fils
Les eloigner du rnoteur, des tuyaux d'echappement, etc La
chaleur risque d'endommager ces fils
3Si Ie fusible saute, verifier si Ie cablage est correct
Si Ie fusible est grill$, Ie remplacer par un fusible neuf
de meme
arnperage que Ie fusible d'origine
4Pour remplacer Ie fusible, ouvrir Ie loquet sur Ie cote de I'appareil
pilote, retirel I'ancien fusible et
inseler Ie fusible neuf (Figure 11)
* 11 existe plusieurs types de boitlers afusibles Ne pas laisser la
borne de battelie entrer en contact avec les autres pieces
metalliques
5LOTS du branchement du e<'lble prolonga1etitl C-BUS, faire passer
d'abold Ie colliet fourni atravers Ie trou dans Ie boitier, blancher

Antes de hacer las conexiones, asegurese de desconectar la ali-
mentacion de la unidad
2
Sea especialmente cuidadoso al dirigir yfijar los cables
mantengalos alejados del motor, tubo de escape, etc EI calor
puede dafiar los cables
3Si el fusible
se quema, revise las conexiones
Si
esta quemado, reemplace el fusible por otro nuevo con el
mismo valor de amperaje que el original
4Para reemplazar el fusible, abra la tapa de la unidad fuente, retire
el fusible antiguo einstale otro nuevo (Figura 11)
*Existen distintos tipos de cajas de fusibles no permita que el
terminal del lado
de la bateria quede en contacto con otras
partes metalicas
5AI conectar el cable prolongador C-BUS, pase primero la suje-
tacable
de cable incluida atraves del orificio de la caja, conecte
el cable, yapriete la caja yel cable usando la sujetacable (Figura
