PYLE POWER SPORTS PLUTV44CH (01) PDF MANUAL

This unit is designed for negative ground 12-14.50 Volts (DC) operation only.

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 Ohms.

Avoid installing the unit where:

It would be subject to high temperatures, such as from direct sunlight or hot air from the heater.

It would be exposed to rain or moisture.

It would be subject to dust or dirt.

If your vehicle or boat is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in temperature inside, allow the unit to cool off before operation.

When installing the unit horizontally, be sure not to cover the heatsink fins with the floor carpet.

If this unit is placed too close to the resources radio, an interference may occur. In this case, separate the amplifier from the car radio.

This power amplifier employs a protection circuit to protect the transistors and speakers if the amplifier malfunctions. Do not attempt to test the protection circuits by covering the heatsink or connecting improper loads.

Do not use the unit with a weak auto battery as its optimum performance depends on a normal battery supply voltage.

For safety reasons, keep the volume of your audio system moderate so that you can still hear normal traffic sounds in a reasonable distance.

The battery terminal (BATT) must be connected directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery to provide an adequate voltage source and minimize noise. Connecting the battery terminal lead to any other point (such as the fuse block) will reduce the power output and may cause noise and distortion.

Use only #12 gauge or thicker (smaller gauge #) wire for this lead and connect it to the terminal of the battery after all other wiring is completed.

Add a fuse into the power cable in a distance of not more than 30 cm from the battery. The lead cable’s diameter should be at least 4 mm² for a length of 3 m and 6 mm² for a length of 6 m.

Connect the +12V power input lead only after all other leads have been connected.

Place the fuse in the power supply lead as close as possible to the car battery.

The ground terminal (GND) connection is critical to the correct operation of the amplifier. Use a wire of the same gauge as the power connection (#8 or thicker) and connect it between the ground terminal (GND) of the amplifier and a metal part of the vehicle close to the mounting location. This wire should be as short as possible.

To make the connection:

1. Drill a hole into the vehicle/or boat chassis near the amplifier.

2. Remove color, dirt, paint, or rust at the grounding point to provide a clean metal surface.

3. Fasten the cable end, with an added ring terminal, using a screw or bolt.

Ensure the ground connection is as short as possible and that the cable diameter is sufficient (min 4mm). Route the ground cables from the radio and all other equipment parts, like equalizer or active crossover network, to the same ground point to avoid ground loops.

The amplifier is turned on by applying +12V to the remote turn-on terminal (REM). The wire lead to this terminal should be connected to the “Auto-Antenna” lead from the vehicle/or boat stereo resources, which will provide +12V only when the stereo is turned on.

If the car stereo does not provide an “Auto-Antenna” lead, the remote turn-on lead may be wired to an “Accessory” or “Radio” terminal in the vehicle’s/or boat’s fuse block. This will turn the amplifier on and off with the ignition key, regardless of whether the stereo is on or off.

The remote turn-on lead does not carry large currents, so a thinner connecting wire is acceptable. Standard 18 GAUGE wire is fine (the standard color is red), and a cable diameter of 0.5mm² is sufficient. If the radio is equipped with a Power Antenna control wire, it can drive this terminal. If the Power Antenna wire is already in use, you can still splice into it. With this method, the unit will turn ON automatically with the radio.

Depending on the type and number of speakers used, wire them to the speaker terminals as per the appropriate wiring diagram. For most applications, #18 gauge wire should be used for the speaker leads but in no case thinner than #16 gauge. For leads in excess of 10 feet, #12 gauge is recommended.

When wiring the speakers, pay careful attention to the polarity of the terminals on the speakers and make certain they correspond to the polarity of the corresponding terminals on the amplifier. Do not ground any speaker leads to the chassis of the vehicle/or boat.

After the amplifier has been installed and all connections have been made carefully and securely, turn the radio on so that the amplifier is switched on automatically. After a short power-on period, the amplifier reaches its full performance. Now turn up the volume slowly using the volume control of the radio. If there is no sound or only a distorted replay, switch off the radio immediately – the amplifier will also switch off automatically – and check if all connections have been made correctly.

If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In this case, consult your dealer.

WARNING: Use the specified amperage fuse. Use of a higher amperage fuse may cause serious damage.

This amplifier is provided with a protection circuit which operates in the following cases:

The unit is overheated.

The speaker terminals are short circuited.

No Function:

The connection cable is not connected correctly (=terminal +12V/GND/REM). Ensure that all connections and mechanic contact are secure and that the wire jacket has been removed for proper contact. The fuse is defective-pay attention to the correct value of a new fuse!

No Sound:

Speaker cable or speaker plug are not connected correctly.

The plus and minus wires of the speaker cable have contact, thus eliminating the short circuit. Pay attention that only a 4 ohm load speaker is allowed. No 2 ohm or less impedance speaker connection is allowed.

Poor Sound Quality (Distortions):

The speakers are overloaded, therefore turn down the volume level and check the volume control positions.

No Stereo Sound And A Weak Bass:

Speaker cables (+) and (-) are mixed up, which has wired the unit out of phase.

All cables can source and create interference. There is often interference caused by the generator (piping), ignition (cracking) or other vehicle/or boat electronic parts. Most of these problems can be eliminated by correct and careful cabling. Here are the following guidelines:

Use only a screened audio cable for the wiring between “low level in” of the amplifier and RCA or DIN output of the radio.

Lay the signal, speaker and power cables separately with enough distance from one another and also from each other car cable. If not possible, you can lay the circuit and ground cable together with the serial cables. Audio and speaker cable should be as far away from these as possible. The REM cable to the automatic antenna output of the radio can be laid together with the signal cables.

Avoid ground loops by laying the ground wiring of all components to a center point in a star-like way. You can find the best central point by measuring the voltage directly at the battery. Now compare this voltage value with the chosen ground point and the (+) terminal of the amplifier. If measured voltage is only slightly different, you’ve found the correct central point. Otherwise you have to look for another point. You should measure with the ignition point for earth being switched on and additionally switched on consumers (rear window heating and light).

If there are pickups from external electrical sources into the speaker cables, divide the core leads and twist them together.

If there are noises from the car electrics, add an interference suppression choke into the power wiring.

If there are humming noises, use thicker ground cables or add further ground cables to the chassis.

To reduce contact resistance and bad and loose contacts, please solder the cable ends or use multi core cable ends, spade terminals or others. Gold Plated spade terminals are free of corrosion and have the lowest contact resistance.

Should all these measures be without any success, the use of a ground loop isolator may solve the problem.

Step 1: Unbolt the mounting bracket from the speaker.

Step 2: Slide in the buckle with a rubber pad (like the included EVA pad) attached to the bracket stand of the speaker. Attach this assembly to the handle bar of your vehicle/ship.

Step 3/4: Attach the screw to lock the buckle securely in place.

1. Strip the ends of the speaker wires you need to connect.

2. Insert the stripped end of one wire into one side of the butt connector.

3. Insert the stripped end of the other wire into the opposite side of the butt connector.

4. Use a crimping tool to firmly crimp both ends of the butt connector, securing the wires and creating a solid electrical connection.
