•
Check for good ground connections. Ensure that the ground cable is connected directly to bare
metal and not a painted surface
•
Using a multimeter ensure that the remote (REM) terminal has at least +12v DC.
• Using a multimeter ensure that the Battery voltage is at least 12v DC and below 16v DC.
• Check all fuses.
• Check that the protection light is not illuminated, if it is illuminated try turning the amplifier off for a
short pweriod of time and then turn back on.
•
Check for shorts on all cables
•
The amplifier is designed to shut down once automatically when the temperature reaches 80°C, if the
amplifier heatsink is very hot this may be the reason for the amplifier shutting down.
• Remove the signal cables and try to restart the amplifier, if the amplifier will not restart then it is
possible that the amplifier has been damaged. This damage may have been as a result of abuse or
failure to follow the advice in this manual.
•
Check both positive and ground cables for shorts.
•
Check that the positive wire is connected to the +12V terminal of the amplifier
•
Check that the negative wire is connected to the GND terminal of the amplifier
•
Check that the correct fuse is fitted.
FT10A-F6 / FT10AP-F6 / FT12A-F6: 1 x 20 amp
FT12TA-F6: 1 x 25A
•
Reduce the gain until the sound is no longer distorted.
