Rockford Fosgate 125.2 Operation & Installation Download Page 41

Terminal GND

Préparez une longueur de câble pour la connexion à la masse. Préparez le châssis
en grattant la peinture de la surface métallique et nettoyez la saleté et l'huile. Attachez
le câble au châssis avec une vis.

Terminal REM

Connectez le fil REM à une commande 12 volts positive de la source. La
commande 12 volts est habituellement prise sur la sortie antenne électrique
de la source ou la commande accessoire. Si la source ne dispose pas de
ces sorties, nous vous recommandons d'installer un interrupteur qui
fournira un positif 12 volts au REM de l'amplificateur.

Opération stéréo/mono (tri
mode)

• Les entrées

 RCA

 sont connectées aux canaux gauche et droit

• Les

 Gains

 des canaux gauche et droit sont réglés de la même manière

pour équilibrer le subwoofer

L'impédance

 de chaque canal devrait être de minimum 2

L'impédance

 du canal mono devrait être de minimum 4

Les XCard 

sont introduites sur full range

• Il est conseillé d'utiliser les filtres passifs lorsqu'on fait fonctionner

l'amplificateur en tri-mode

NE connecter AUCUN des câbles HP à la masse au risque d'un
fonctionnement instable

Des filtres passifs 

sont nécessaires pour un bon fonctionnement en
