FPX PREMIUM AMPLIFIER
U s e r m a n u a l
Before commencing installation please scrupulously follow the following instructions:
1 - Read the instructions in full and be sure that you fully understand them before installing your amplifier.
2 - Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal on the vehicle battery before beginning installation
(Fig. 1
).
3 - For ease of fitting we suggest you put all wires in position before installing your amplifier.
4 - Route the RCA, speaker and REM cables away from power cables to avoid any signal interference.
5 - Use good quality connectors/fittings or good quality soldered joints when connecting the amplifier to
ensure a secure installation and to minimise signal or power losses.
6 - Before carrying out any operation ensure you are not cutting or drilling the fuel tank, any fuel, brake,
hydraulic or vacuum line or any electrical wiring or safety-related item.
7 - Never run any wiring under the vehicle. It is essential to run wiring inside the vehicle. When running
cables, ensure they do not interfere with operation of the vehicle. Cabling that obstructs or passes over
such items as the steering wheel, the pedals (brake, accelerator and clutch, etc.) could be extremely
dangerous.
8 - Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. All wiring routed through metal must be protected
by a grommet. Route wiring away from moving parts (e.g. seat rails) and sharp or pointed edges.
This will also protect cables from being pinched or damaged with the consequent risk of an electrical
short-circuit.
9 - Always use fuses to protect the battery and the electrical circuit from any potential damage. Install a
fuse-holder and an appropriate fuse in the 12V+ power supply cable less than 40cm from the battery
terminal. Ideally, this distance should be as short as possible
(Fig. 7)
.
10 - Prepare the chassis ground (earth) by removing all traces of paint from the metal surface, thus
ensuring a good ground (earth) contact. Ground (earth) connections should be as short as possible
and
ALWAYS
connected to metal welded to the vehicle bodywork or chassis
(Fig. 2)
. The grounding
(earthing) point usually chosen is the one used to connect the negative terminal of the battery to the
vehicle chassis.
11 -
NEVER
install this product in a vehicle's engine compartment. To do so would void the warranty.
1 - Positioning your FPX amplifier
Choosing a correct location for your FPX amplifier
Because of the amplifier's power, it needs heat dissipation for its operation. For this reason the amplifier
must be mounted in a ventilated location, especially above it. Avoid fitting it into any location that is close-
fitting or covers the amplifier in its immediate vicinity.
2 - Securing your FPX amplifier in place
Position your amplifier in the desired location and mark it.
Mark the attachment points in its support.
Use the mounting screws supplied (screws supplied are suitable for screwing into a wood base).
3 - Cabling your FPX amplifier
CAUTION
If you have any doubt over your ability to correctly install the amplifier and wiring, entrust this task to a
Focal dealer/installer.
