Setup sareng Instalasi

1. Lokasi pamasangan

Choose a mounting location that is dry, well-ventilated, and secure. Ensure adequate airflow around the amplifier's heatsink. Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or near heat-generating components.

2. Sambungan Kakuatan

Before making any connections, disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Connect the power, ground, and remote turn-on wires as follows:

• + 12V (Kakuatan): Connect a fused power cable directly from the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. The fuse should be located within 18 inches of the battery.
• GND (tanah): Connect a ground cable of the same gauge as the power cable to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid electrical connection.
• REM (Jauh Hurungkeun): Sambungkeun kawat péngkolan jauh tina kaluaran jauh unit sirah anjeun ka terminal REM dina amplampu. Kawat ieu nunjukkeun sinyal ka amplampu pikeun ngahurungkeun sareng mareuman nganggo head unit anjeun.

3. Sambungan Input Audio

The PB2518 supports both High-Level and Low-Level (RCA) inputs.

• Input Tingkat Handap (RCA): For head units with RCA pre-outs, connect RCA cables from the head unit's audio output to the "INPUT" RCA jacks on the amppangagung.
• High-Level Input (Molex): If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the supplied high-level input adapter. Connect the speaker wires from your head unit to the adapter, then plug the adapter into the "HIGH LEVEL" input on the amppangagung.

4. Sambungan Speaker

Connect your speakers to the "SPEAKER" terminals on the amplifier. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -). The amplifier is 2 Ohm stereo stable and can be bridged for mono operation.

• Modeu stéréo: Connect one speaker to the Right (+) and Right (-) terminals, and another speaker to the Left (+) and Left (-) terminals.
• Bridged Mode (Mono): To bridge the amplifier for a single channel (e.g., a subwoofer), connect the speaker's positive (+) terminal to the Right (+) terminal and the speaker's negative (-) terminal to the Left (-) terminal. Ensure the speaker impedance is 4 Ohms or higher when bridged. The amplifier can deliver up to 3000 Watts in bridged mode.

Operasi anu Amppangagung

Sakali dipasang, saluyukeun ampsetélan lampu pikeun kinerja audio anu optimal.

1. Gain Control (Input Level)

The "INPUT LEVEL" (Gain) control matches the amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. Start with the gain set to minimum (MIN). Gradually increase the gain until you achieve a clear, undistorted sound at your desired volume level from the head unit. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can introduce distortion and potentially damage speakers.

2. Setélan Crossover

The PB2518 features fully adjustable electronic crossovers to direct specific frequency ranges to your speakers or subwoofers.

• Saklar Modeu Crossover: Select between "FULL LP" (Full Range / Low Pass) or "HP" (High Pass).
  • FULL: Passes the full audio frequency range to the speakers. Use this for full-range speakers or if your head unit handles crossovers.
  • LP (Low Pass): Allows only frequencies below the set point to pass. Ideal for subwoofers. Adjust the "LOW PASS" knob to set the cutoff frequency (e.g., 50Hz-250Hz).
  • HP (Lulus Luhur): Allows only frequencies above the set point to pass. Ideal for full-range speakers or component speakers to prevent low frequencies from distorting them. Adjust the "HIGH PASS" knob to set the cutoff frequency (e.g., 120Hz-3KHz).

3. Bass naekeun

The "BASS BOOST" control allows you to enhance low frequencies (around 50Hz) from 0dB to +12dB. Use this feature sparingly and adjust carefully to avoid distortion or damage to your speakers, especially subwoofers.

4. LED Daya sareng Protéksi

• DAYA (LED Héjo): Illuminates nalika ampliifier nampi daya sareng tiasa dianggo sapertos biasana.
• PROTECT (Red LED): Illuminates nalika amplifier detects a fault condition (e.g., short circuit, overheating, low voltage). If this LED lights up, immediately turn off your audio system and troubleshoot the issue.
