NOTES OF CONNECTION
■
This unit is designed to be used in a vehicle with a 12-volt battery and negative
grounding. Before installing this unit to a mobile home, a bus, or a truck, make sure the
battery voltage is appropriate for this unit to be used, otherwise, install a transformer to
convert the output voltage to 12 V DC.
■
To avoid short circuits in the electrical system, ensure that the negative battery cable is
disconnected before installation.
■
To prevent short circuiting in the wiring which could lead to damage of this unit, secure
all wirings with cable ties and/or adhesive tape. Route the wirings in a secure manner,
stay away from hot or moving parts such as exhaust pipes, gear shift, handbrake, and
seat rails to prevent the wiring insulation being melted/wore off.
■
Never pass the yellow power cord through the installation hole into the engine
compartment and never ever connect it directly to the car battery. If that happens, it will
most likely produce some serious short-circuits which may permanently damage vital
parts of the electrical system.
■
Replacing a new fuse with 10 A rating when the old one is broken, using no fuse or
fuse with improper rating may cause damage to this unit or even fi re. lf a proper fuse is
installed and electrical problems still occur, please contact your local ZENEC dealer.
■
DO NOT connect other equipment to the car battery to avoid battery overheating.
■
Please make sure all the wiring connections and the cables of the speakers are well-
insulated. Otherwise, this unit may be damaged by short circuits.
■
lf there is no ACC available, please connect ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.
■
lf an external power amplifi er is connected, please don't connect P.CONT lead to the
power lead of the external power amplifi er, otherwise, electric sparks or some other
damage may be the result.
■
Never ground the speaker outputs to prevent damage to the built-in power amplifi er.
■
The minimum rating of the speakers connected to this unit is 40 W with 4 to 8 Ω
impedance.
OPTION: CONNECTION TO THE ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED STEERING WHEEL REMOTE
CAN is the abbreviation for Controller Area Network. It is an vehicle specifi c Standard-Bus-
Protocol of the car industry. Due to that protocol, the functions of the steering wheel built-
in remote, as well as other vehicle functions, can be accessed and used. Simply connect
the CAN-BUS box option according to the included wiring-diagram. However, we cannot
guarantee that each and every used function will work, as a lot of vehicle use a lot of different
functions for their remote keys.
