TURN-ON LEAD
The M800/8-24V uses a conven12 to
24V remote turn-on lead, typically controlled by
the source unit’s remote turn-on output. The
amplifier will turn on when any voltage between
+12V and +24V is present at its “Remote” input
and turn off when this voltage is switched off. If a
source unit does not have a dedicated remote
turn-on output, the amplifier’s turn-on lead can
be connected to +12V to +24V via a switch that
derives power from an ignition-switched circuit.

NOT FOR USE IN 12V SYSTEMS!
The M800/8-24V’s “Remote” turn-on
connector is designed to accept 18 AWG –
12 AWG wire. To connect the remote turn-
on wire to the amplifier, first back out the set
screw on the top of the terminal block, using
the supplied 2.5mm hex wrench. Strip 1/2 inch
(12mm) of wire and insert the bare wire into the
terminal block, seating it firmly so that no bare
wire is exposed. While holding the wire in the
terminal, tighten the set screw firmly, taking
care not to strip the head of the screw and
making sure that the wire (not the insulation) is
firmly gripped by the set screw.
