INSTRUCTIONS
Read the following instructions through completely. If they appear too
complicated we recommend you have an authorized
LINEAR POWER™
Dealer
do the install.
GROUND:
The black negative ground wire should be connected to a solid ground point via a
bolt or self-tapping screw. This connection should be to a clean unpainted metal
surface.
POWER:
Since the current requirement of the
PA-II
©
is only 150 milliamps, the red wire
can usually be connected to the power antenna or amp turn-on lead provided by
your deck. The red wire should not be connected to the source of constant power
as this would eventually drain the vehicle's battery. An alternate source of +12
Volts would be from an accessory toggle switch, which was connected to a
power source. This lead should be fused at
1 amp
. (Use an AGC 1A fuse)
12 VOLT OUTPUT:
The red and white wire is an amplifier turn on lead and has 12V present on it
when the
PA-II
©
gain control is rotated from the off position. Max. load current
from this lead is 300mA.
INPUTS:
The RCA (Phono) jacks will accommodate either high or low level signals,
ranging from 150mV to 5 volts. For low-level signals, always use shielded cable
and avoid routing signal cables in the vicinity of any power wires. The center pin
of the RCA plug is always the positive input connection.
OUTPUTS:
In a single amplifier system (no fader used) these jacks are used for sending
signal to the input jacks of your amplifier. In a two-amplifier system, where fading
capability is desired, use the FADER instructions found on the following page.
FADER:
The Patch back Fader is not operable until the signal is routed back into the
FADER INPUT. To enable the patch back fader, run a set of RCA cables from
the OUTPUT jacks to the FADER INPUT jacks. Then run a set of cables from the
FRONT outputs to your front amplifier, and run a set of cables from the REAR
outputs to your rear amplifier.
