5.2 Koneksyon fil elektrik
- Pouvwa (BAT+): Connect a 4 AWG power cable directly from the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery to the amplifier's BATT+ terminal. Install an 80A external fuse within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
- Tè (GND): Connect a 4 AWG ground cable from the ampKonekte tèminal GND adaptè a sou yon sifas metal pwòp, ki pa pentire sou chasi machin nan. Asire w ke koneksyon an solid e ki gen yon rezistans ki ba.
- Kontwòl a distans (REM): Connect a 18 AWG remote turn-on wire from your head unit's remote output to the amptèminal REM lifi a. Sa a vire amplimen epi etenn lifan an ak inite prensipal ou a.
- Antre odyo:
- Antre Nivo Ba (RCA): Connect RCA cables from your head unit's RCA outputs to the ampantre RCA lifier la.
- Antre wo nivo: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the high-level input. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit directly to the amplifier's high-level input terminals.
- Sòti Oratè: Konekte oratè ou yo ak amplifier's speaker output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). Refer to the specifications for minimum impedance requirements (2 Ohm stereo, 4 Ohm bridged).
6. Operasyon
Yon fwa enstale, la ampLififier a bezwen bon ajisteman pou yon bon jan kalite son optimal.
6.1 Akeri Ajisteman
Kontwòl gen an koresponn ak amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain control at its minimum setting. Play a familiar piece of music at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the amplifier's gain until you hear distortion, then reduce it slightly until the sound is clear. The LED clipping indicator can assist in this process.
6.2 Anviwònman kwazman
The ION1000.4D features a selectable crossover with LPF (Low Pass Filter), HPF (High Pass Filter), and FULL (Full Range) modes. Adjust the crossover frequency (40Hz – 2KHz) according to your speaker type and desired sound:
- HPF (High Pass Filter): Used for full-range speakers or tweeters to block low frequencies that can cause distortion. Set the frequency above the speaker's resonant frequency.
- LPF (Filtè ki ba pase): Used for subwoofers to block high frequencies. Set the frequency below the subwoofer's upper frequency limit.
- FULL (Full Range): Allows all frequencies to pass through. Typically used for full-range speakers that do not require frequency filtering.
NAN. Depanaj
Si ou gen pwoblèm ak ou amplifizè, gade gid depanaj sa a:
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Pa gen kouran (LED kouran an etenn) | Fuzib boule, koneksyon kouran/tè a pa bon, pa gen siyal a distans. | Check external fuse, verify power and ground connections, ensure remote wire is connected and receiving 12V. |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode (Protect LED On) | Overheating, speaker short circuit, impedance too low, DC offset. | Check speaker wiring for shorts, ensure proper ventilation, verify speaker impedance, allow amplifier pou refwadi. |
| Pa gen Sòti Son | Pa gen siyal antre, move reglaj gen, fil oratè yo dekonekte. | Check RCA or high-level input connections, adjust gain, verify speaker connections. |
| Son defòme | Gain set too high, incorrect crossover settings, poor speaker connection. | Reduce gain, adjust crossover settings, check speaker wiring for loose connections or shorts. |
8. Antretyen
The DS18 ION1000.4D ampLifter a mande yon antretyen minimòm. Swiv direktiv sa yo pou asire l dire lontan:
- Kenbe la ampLimyè a pwòp epi san pousyè. Sèvi ak yon twal mou epi sèk pou siye deyò a.
- Asire w ke zòn ki antoure a amplifier remains clear to allow for proper ventilation.
- Tcheke tout koneksyon fil elektrik yo detanzantan pou asire yo byen fèm epi yo pa gen korozyon.
