HELIX Extension Card slot (HEC slot)
It is possible to extend the functionality of the
HELIX V EIGHT DSP amplifier by inserting an op
-
tional HELIX Extension Card (HEC) - for example a
Bluetooth
®
Audio Streaming module, an additional
optical digital input or an AUX input.
To install a HELIX Extension Card it is necessary
to remove the side panel of the V EIGHT DSP and
replace it by the new side panel that comes with the
HEC module.
Attention: Install the HEC module only in the
designated device and its specific slot. Using
the HEC module in other devices or slots can
result in damage of the HEC module, the ampli-
fier, the head unit / car radio or other connected
devices!
Read in the following the steps how to install a HEC
module:
1. First disconnect all cables from the device.
2. Dismantle the side panel where the USB input
is located by removing the two Phillips and two
allen screws.
3. Pull out the bottom plate sideways.
4. Prepare the module for installing it into the de-
vice. Any further mounting information will be
found in the instruction manual of the respective
HEC module.
5. Insert the HEC module into the specific slot
of the device which is marked in the following
picture.
6. Make sure that the HEC module is installed
properly and all pins are fully inserted into the
socket.
7. Reinsert the bottom plate and fix the new side
panel which is delivered with the HEC module
with the two Phillips and two allen screws.
8. Bolt the HEC module to the side panel. Precise
mounting information will be found in the in-
struction manual of the respective HEC module.
9. Reconnect all cables to the device.
10. Turn on the amplifier. The HEC module is auto
-
matically detected by the device and the Status
LED of the HEC module lights up green.
11. Now you are able to configure the HEC module
in the DSP PC-Tool software.
