LED TUBE INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

This Directed Audio amplifier has been designed with a custom heat sink that can accommodate two (optional—not supplied) VARAD LED tubes.

1.Before installing the LED tubes, remove and discard the mounting feet from the VARAD LED tubes.

2.Slide each LED tube assembly into your Directed Audio amplifier heat sink. Ensure that the LEDs are facing out for optimal visibility. The wires from the LED tube assembly should be on the signal input end of the amplifier. The Black wire from the LED tube is ground and the Black/White wire from the LED tube is power.

4.Run the two wires from the tube assembly and connect them to the 4-pin LED/FAN input connector. Refer to the LED/FAN harness diagram given earlier in this manual.

NOTE:

If the optional fan IS NOT being used, it is recommended that the second LED tube be wired to this circuit. If the optional

 

fan is being used, it is recommended that the second LED tube be wired in parallel with the first LED tube.

Use the following cross reference chart to select the proper length VARAD LED tube for use with your Directed Audio amplifier.
