Installation:
II
The
below section deals with
issues
regarding the vehicle which are necessary to take into account
for
the
installation
of
the amplifier. You'll
save
time
by
planning the
system
layout and wiring
in
advance. Please
ensure during this preparatory time that the whole settings remain accessible once the installation
is
complete.
Before starting the installation, please follow these rules carefully:
1 - After reading the whole manual,
be
sure that you have understood all the instructions before installing
the amplifier.
2 - Disconnect the battery's negative wire before starting the installation. (pic.
1).
3 -
To
facilitate the assembly,
we
strongly recommend you unwind all the wires before installing the
amplifier.
4 -
Put
aside all the
RCA
cables, speakers,
REM
and REMOTE CONTROL {REMOTE
CONTROL
only with
FPS
1500,
FPS
2300RX and
FPS
4160},
far from the power cables
in
order to avoid any interference
of
the signal.
5 -
Use
quality connectors to ensure areliable installation and to minimise any losses
of
signal
or
power.
6 - Think carefully before drilling anything.
Be
extremely careful not to cut
or
drill the petrol (fuel) tank, the
fuel, brake, hydraulic
or
vacuum pipes,
as
well
as
the electrical wiring.
7 - Never route awire under the vehicle.
It
is
absolutely imperative to install them inside the vehicle
for
better protection. While routing the wires, verify that they
do
not impair the driving
of
the vehicle.
Cables obstructing
or
routing through areas such
as
the steering wheel, pedals (brake, accelerator and
clutch, etc.) may
be
extremely dangerous.
8 - Avoid routing wires above
or
through sharp rims. Any wire routed through metal must
be
protected
with agrommet. Route the wires well away from mobile parts (seat rails,...)and from sharp
or
pointed
cutting edges. This will avoid catching
or
damaging
the wires.
9 - Always protect the battery and electrical circuit from potential damages with the help
of
fuses. Install a
fuse
holder
and suitable fuses on the 12V positive (+) power cable at
less
than
40cm
from the battery
terminal. Ideally, this abovementioned distance should
be
the shortest
as
pOSSible
(pic. 4).
10
-Prepare the chassis ground
by
scraping any trace
of
paint on the metal surface
in
order to ensure
correct grounding.
The
grounding connections should also
be
as
short
as
pOSSible
and
ALWAYS
connected to the metal welded to the body
orthe
chassis of the vehicle (pic. 4).
The
generally chosen
ground point
is
the one that ensures the link between the negative terminal of the battery and the
chassis
of
the vehicle.
11
-
NEVER
install this product
in
the engine compartment
of
the vehicle.
This
will cancel the guarantee.
