User manual POWER ACOUSTIK METER 4 - INSTALL GUIDE

TEMP METER VU METER VU METER VOLT METER INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS: Before you begin, please take the time to read completely and understand all you need to know in order to get the best performance out of your equipment. First; understand what type of visual information the M-4 system provides. Secondly, decide whether you want to install the system in cluster form (all meters together) or in individual mounting brackets at various locations around your vehicle. Assuming you have decided on the separate / individual mounting system, where each meter is situated in various locations, the next steps are (a) locate & identify each of the meters and each of the 4 separate / independent line-feeds ­ one for each meter. Make sure to connect the correct feed-line to the appropriate meter. (b) open the DIN chasis and carefully remove the larger control box; the box would now be installed in the location of your choice. After you've done that, make electrical connections as per the instructions below in "ELECTRICAL CONNCETIONS" section. a) ISO DIN mounting: This type of installation is exactly like installing a car stereo; make sure there's adequate space inside the dash cavity and avoid severely disrupting existing wiring and connections for other existing equipment. Make electrical connections as per below in "ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS" section, while making sure that the external data cable/wire and control box are securely tucked­away. Run a system-test before nalizing the install. b) " L"­bracket / under dash mounting: This type of installation requires that you secure the L-bracket's mounting- ange to the under side of the dash or lip. Do this with the self-tapping screws provided and make sure that this action would not puncture or disrupt existing wiring. c) "A"­pillar mounting: This type of installation requires that you secure the brackets to the A-pillar, using the self-tapping screws provided. Please make an extra e ort to make sure that existing wires inside the pillars would not be punctured or otherwise a ected by attaching the brackets. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: · Locate the GND (BLACK) wire and connect it to the chassis of the vehicle or the negative side of the 12 V DC power supply, if installed in other than a vehicle. You may use an AC adapter (preferably regulated) , with the following capacity;12 V @ 300 ma. Locate the B+ (RED) wire connection and connect it to an established + 12V DC source. Connect the Left RCA jack to the Left signal source and the Right RCA jack to the Right signal source. Install the control-box(es) in a location which allows for easy access, in the event that troubleshooting is necessary. Do not situate the box in areas of the vehicle where temperatures will exceed 50 deg. C./122 deg. F.. Please make sure that neither the main input wire harness nor the individual feed-lines are stressed; as this may result in premature cable breakage and overall failure. Please make sure that a "snap" sensation is realized when inserting the connectors; this ensures proper connection between cable and control-box.
