Installation |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
It is recommended that a professional who is skilled in all |
|
|
| |
aspects of installation and operation install the MCC204 | Figure1 |
|
| |
and any associated mobile audio equipment. |
|
| ||
Amplifier Ventilation |
|
| ||
Always provide adequate ventilation for the MCC204. The |
|
| ||
amplifier requires an adequate airflow into the cooling fan, |
|
| ||
which is located on the left side of the amplifier. The warm |
|
| ||
air exits the amplifier through vents on the heatsinks. See | CoolAir | WarmAir |
| |
figure 1. Be sure to provide at least |
| |||
in front of the cooling fan and 1 inch clearance at the sides |
| |||
of the heatsinks. |
| |||
The cooling fan is controlled by temperature sensors, |
| |||
attached to the interior of the tunnel. The fan is normally |
|
| ||
off. If the program material contains sustained loud pas- |
|
| ||
sages demanding high power, the fan will |
| RemoveTopCoverScrews | ||
crease cooling. If cooling is still not sufficient, additional |
| |||
heating will shut down the amplifier’s internal power sup- | Figure2 | |||
ply completely and the Power Guard LEDs will light. The |
|
| ||
|
|
| ||
fan will continue to run and once normal temperatures are |
|
|
| |
restored, operation will resume. |
|
|
| |
The amplifier can be mounted vertically or horizontally |
|
|
| |
and may be located under a seat if adequate clearance is |
|
|
| |
available. The preferred installation method is to mount the |
|
|
| |
amplifier directly to the vehicle frame using the hardware |
|
|
| |
supplied with the amplifier. |
|
|
| |
It is not recommended that the amplifier be mounted |
| RemoveEndCapScrews | ||
under the hood or in a location where it will be directly ex- |
| RemoveTopCoverScrews | ||
posed to the elements. The openings in the fan housing and |
| |||
heat tunnel vents can allow internal components to be dam- |
| |||
aged by exposure to water, chemicals or any form of road |
| |||
dust or debris. |
|
|
| |
Removing the Glass Panel | Figure3 |
|
| |
To access the MCC204 Controls, remove the glass panel |
|
| ||
by removing the four hex bolts with the supplied 3/32” hex |
|
| ||
key. See figure 2. Attach the supplied suction cup to the top |
|
| ||
center of the glass panel and carefully raise it high enough |
|
| ||
to put your hand under. Temporarily place the removed |
|
| ||
glass panel in a safe place, remove the suction cup and |
|
| ||
save it for future use. |
|
| ||
Removing the End Caps |
|
|
| |
To access the MCC204 Connecting Terminal Blocks, re- |
|
|
| |
move the Glass Panel first (the above step) and then re- |
|
|
| |
move the Phillips Screws holding the End Caps on both |
|
|
| |
sides of the amplifier and lift the end caps off. See figure 3. |
