Model KAC-PS200T/5201 Serial number © B64-2558-00/00 (KV/EV) Safety precautions 2WARNING Wiring To prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions: · When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires with a 3mm2 (AWG12) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating. · To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit. · If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood dealer. [. . . ] Using a fuse with the wrong rating may cause your unit to malfunction. · To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness. NOTE · If a buzzing noise is heard from the speakers when the engine is running, connect a line noise filter (optional) to each of the battery wire. · Do not allow the wire to directly contact the edge of the iron plate by using Grommets. · Connect the ground wire to a metal part of the car chassis that acts as an electrical ground passing electricity to the battery`s negative terminal. · Be sure to install a protective fuse in the power cord near the battery. The protective fuse should be the same capacity as the unit's fuse capacity or somewhat larger. · For the power cord and ground, use a vehicle type (fireproof) power wring cord with a current capacity greater than the unit's fuse capacity. (Use a power wiring cord with a diameter of 3 mm2 (AWG 12) or greater. ) · When more than one power amplifier are going to be used, use a power supply wiring wire and protective fuse of greater current-handling capacity than the total maximum current drawn by each amplifier. Installation procedure 1. Remove the ignition key and disconnect the negative - terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits. Connect the power wire, power control wire and grounding wire following this order. Connect the negative - terminal of the battery. 2WARNING Accessories Part name Terminal cover (Power terminal) Self-tapping screws (ø4 × 16 mm) External View Number of Items 1 4 Installation Since the power amplifier has no parts which require operation, it can be installed at a position away from the driver's seat without any hindrances. · When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the vehicle, check that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe, or wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage. · Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air bag safety parts. · The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten the unit to a place in which it will not obstruct driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and hits a person or safety part, it may cause injury or an accident. · After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps, turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate normally. Self-tapping screw (ø4 × 16 mm) Cleaning the unit If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth. 2CAUTION Power terminal (234) Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or cause the indicator letters to peel off. Connect to their respective terminals the power supply wire, and ground wire, all of which pass through the associated terminal cover. Once the connections are complete, place the cover on the terminal section.
