Plus / minus connection
- We recommend a minimum cross section of 6 mm
2
(5 A.W.G.).
- Route commercially available plus cables to the bat-
tery and connect via fuse holder.
- Use cable glands for holes with sharp edges.
- Securely fasten commercially available minus cables
to a noise-free earth point (chassis screw, chassis
metal) (not to the minus pole of the battery).
- Scrap the contact surfaces of the earth point until
they are bright and grease with graphite grease.
Integrated fuses (Fuse)
The fuses integrated in the amplifi er (Fuse) protect the
power amplifi er and the entire electrical system in case
of an error. If a replacement fuse is used, never bridge
fuses or replace them with a type with higher current.

+12V
Remote connection of the amplifi er with swit12 V
voltage source.
This allows the amplifi er to be switched on and off using
the on/off-switch of the radio device.
High-level inputs
The amplifi er is equipped with high-level inputs to permit
connection to radios without preamp outputs (Fig. 7).
This enables direct connection to be made to the radio’s
loudspeaker output.
Direct Aux Input Connection
Connection options if the car radio has no AUX
input or if the AUX input is already connected
You can directly connect various AF sources (such
as an MP3 player or mobile navigation system) via
a 3.5 mm (0,35") jack plug optionally to the Direct
Aux Input. All signal sources will then be heard si-
multaneously and their volume must be adjusted
on the respective source device.
Note:
All AF sources must be set to Off during installa-
tion and connection!
Installing the jack-plug cable
Please use our 5 m (16.4 ft.) jack-plug cable (Or-
der No. 7 607 001 525) to make the connection.
A special feature is that it has its own On/Off
switch.
Switch position is OFF (•):
During installation and de-installation and when
no AF source is connected.
Switch position is ON (I / II):
Only
after
an AF source has been connected.
Caution:
When making the connection, always set the vol-
ume control to minimum and switch off the ampli-
fi er.
Level control
The Level control is used to adjust the input sensitivity
of the power amplifi er to the output voltage of your car
sound system preamplifi er output.
The adjustment range is from 0.3 V to 8 V.
If a car sound system of a third party manufacturer is
connected, the input sensitivity must be adjusted cor-
responding to the manufacturer data.
A few important explanations in this context:
By turning the control clockwise, the input sensitivity of
the amplifi er and, therefore, also the volume increases.
However, this is not a volume control; no further ampli-
fi er output can be achieved in the end position, even if it
may sound like that at the beginning. The system merely
increases the volume faster if the volume control of the
car sound system is turned up.
Loudspeaker connections
(If the amplifi er is to be jumpered, continue with the sec-
tion "Bridged loudspeaker connections" at this point).
As with every audio component, the correct polarisa-
tion of amplifi er and loudspeakers is of essentially
importance for a good bass response. For this reason,
ensure that the positive (+) connection of the amplifi er
