LANZAR VICTOR VCT-2510 (01) PDF Document

When used with normal, full range systems, set this switch to “FULL”. If you wish to use the internal crossover to power a driver or specific frequency range, use the “LPF” or “HPF” for the “LOWPASS” or “HIGHPASS” settings.

These controls enable the matching of input levels to the output levels from the head unit (or other signal source). The input sensitivity of adjustment ranges from 6V to 200mV.

When the crossover mode selector is in HIGHPASS mode, this control sets the lower frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers. When the crossover mode selector is in LOWPASS mode, this control sets the upper frequency limit for audio program sent to the speakers. The crossover is continuously variable adjustment from 40 to 250 Hz.

This control permits adjustment of the bass level up to an increase of approximately 18dB.

When the sub sonic selector switch is in “ON” mode, this filter control permits continuously variable adjustment from 10 to 100Hz.

This amp features RCA type jacks for high impedance input. Use these with car stereo output which uses RCA type connector cables.

If your car stereo jacks are not RCA type output, use the high-level low input adaptor to connect the speaker output leads of car stereo and the RCA input jacks of the amp.

This amp features RCA jacks for AUX line outputs. Use these for unlimited system expansion to the next VECTOR.

The power LED indicator is illuminated in GREEN when power is applied. The protection LED indicator is illuminated in RED when the built-in protection circuitry is activated.

The fuse protects the amplifier and your car’s electrical system from short circuit conditions.

Use these connectors to deliver power, ground, and remote turn-on control to the amplifier. These terminals are to guarantee high conductivity and minimum signal loss.

Your new Lanzar Vector Series amplifier comes complete with all required mounting hardware. When determining a suitable location in your vehicle for the amp, please remember that it is a high-power electronic device capable of generating high heat.

For this reason, always choose a location in your vehicle which has low vibration, adequate ventilation, a minimum of dust, and no moisture. Be sure to mount the amp in such a manner as to allow reasonable airflow over the cooling fins.

Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by positioning the amp where you wish to install it and use a scribe (or one of the mounting screws) inserted in each of the mounting holes to mark the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is carpeted, measure the hole centers and mark with a felt tip pen.

Before attempting to drill the mounting holes, take note of any wires, lines or other devices in your vehicle which may be located behind the mounting surface! Then drill pilot holes in the mounting surface for the mounting screws and insert them. Tighten the screws securely.

When making electrical connections to your amplifier, please observe the following:

Use at least 8 gauge wire for power and ground connections.

Wire the amplifier directly to the car battery.

For the ground connection, use the shortest possible wire to a good chassis ground point.

Wire the Remote connection to the auto start lead of your head unit, equalizer or power antenna.

Lanzar Vector Series amplifiers feature built-in fuse systems. These fuses protect both the amplifier and the electrical system in your vehicle from fault conditions. If you ever need to replace the fuse in your Lanzar Vector Series amp, use a fuse of exactly the same type and rating. A different type or rating of fuse may result in damage or fire.

The built-in protection circuitry in the Lanzar Vector Series amplifiers will disable the amplifier if it senses an input overload, a speaker short circuit, or extreme temperature conditions.

When the protection circuit is activated by any of these conditions, the Protection LED will be illuminated.

If this occurs, carefully inspect the system to determine the source of the problem.

If the shutdown was a result of a thermal overload condition, allow the amplifier to cool down before attempting to restart it.

If the shutdown was a result of an input overload, or speaker short circuit, be sure to correct the condition before restarting.

The amplifier can be restarted by turning the remote power OFF and then ON again.

Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.

Check both in-line and built-in fuses. Both the +12V and the Remote terminals must have +12v referenced to chassis ground.

Confirm that the audio signal source (car radio, equalizer, etc.) is connected and is supplying output signal. To check if the amp is supplying signal, unplug the cables from the signal source (but leave them plugged into the amp). Briefly tap the center pin of each of the disconnected RCA plugs with your finger. This should produce a noise (feedback) in your speakers.

Confirm that all terminal strip connections are secure and tight.

Check the Balance control on the head unit (or other source) to verify that it is set to its midpoint.

If you are using the Low Level RCA input, reverse the input plugs at the amplifier (i.e., switch the L with the R). If the channels which is silent switches to the other side, the problem is either in the head unit/other source or the connecting cables.

Readjust the Input Level Control(s) to better suit the input signal.

If the noise is a “whine” whose pitch follows the engine speed, confirm that the amplifier and any other signal sources (head unit, etc.) are properly grounded.

If the noise is a “clicking” or “popping” noise whose rate follows the engine speed, this usually means that the vehicle is equipped with resistor spark plugs and wires, or that the ignition is in need of service.

Check the routing of the speaker and input wires to make sure they are not adjacent to wires which interconnect lights and other accessories.

If the above steps fail to improve or clear noise interference, the system should be checked by a professional mobile audio installer.

Do not operate the amplifier when it is unmounted. Attach all audio system components securely within the automobile to prevent damage, especially in an accident.

Do not mount this amplifier so that the wire connections are unprotected, or in a pinched condition, or likely to be damaged by nearby objects.

Before making or breaking power connections in your system, disconnect the vehicle battery. Confirm that your head unit or other equipment is turned off while connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals.

YES! Two 4-ohm speakers, wired in stereo, will present a 4-ohm load to each channel of the amplifier. Most two-channel amplifiers will work well in this configuration.

NO! Two 4-ohm speakers, wired in parallel to a bridged two-channel amplifier, will present a 2-ohm mono load to the amplifier. MOST TWO-CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS DO NOT SUPPORT 2-OHM MONO OPERATION! AMPLIFIER DAMAGE COULD RESULT!

YES! Four 4-ohm speakers, wired in stereo, will present a 4-ohm load to each channel of the amplifier. Most four-channel amplifiers will work well in this configuration.

NO! Four 4-ohm speakers, wired in parallel to a bridged four-channel amplifier, will present a 4-ohm mono load to the amplifier. MOST FOUR-CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS DO NOT SUPPORT 2-OHM MONO OPERATION! AMPLIFIER DAMAGE COULD RESULT!

Minimum Speaker Impedance for Bridged Mono Output Mode is 4 OHMS!

For Stereo Output Mode, connect the Right speaker to the terminals marked RIGHT + and -. Connect the Left speaker to the terminals marked LEFT + and -.

For Bridged Mono Output Mode, connect the speaker to the terminal marked RIGHT + and the terminal marked LEFT -. Ensure the Minimum Speaker Impedance is 4 OHMS!
