Orion Car Audio HCCA10004, HCCA10002 owner manual PLIFIERI6ISUAL 4ROUBLESHOOTING

slight distortion and turn the level control back slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system, the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.

6.Turn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.

7.Fine-tune the output level between midrange and tweeters. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions.

8.Repeat Steps 5-7 for the rear speakers. If you do not have rear speakers continue to Step 10.

9.Set levels between the front and rear midrange and tweeters for optimum front/rear balance.

10.Turn up the level control corresponding to the woofer output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output.

11.Fine-tune the output level between satellite speakers and the woofers. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual for detailed instructions.

12.Enjoy your awesome Orion sound system.

Your new Orion HCCA amplifier has three indicator lights (LED’s) on the top cover of the amplifier as seen in the next figure. These lights are very useful in trouble shooting possible amplifier problems and issues.

Power LED: This LED lights up green when the amplifier is turned on. This represents normal operation if the Protection/ESP Status LED is on solid, and the Thermal LED is off.

ESP/Protection Status Indicator LED: This LED lights up blue when the amplifier is turned on and periodically blinks as a normal default state. When the amplifier goes into protection it will flash a specific number of times (described below) indicating the source of the event. It will also flash when the amplifier is powering up, approximately 4-5 flashes until the turn-on delay has expired (actual number of flashes depends on the length of time selected via the bitwriter). Below is a description of reasons the amplifier could engage the protection circuit. While most protection modes are self-resetting when the problem is resolved, short or overcurrent latches and power must be cycled off/on to restore operation. The protection indications will self- reset once the condition has been fixed. Advanced troubleshooting can be performed using the ESP/Protection Status indicator LED.

ssShort: Speaker wires pinched or shorted together or to ground

(frame of vehicle). ESP/Protection Status LED will also flash 2 short flashes, followed by a long pause (approximately 8-10 seconds).

ssOvercurrent: Check for possible speaker issue(s) or speaker wiring

pinched in a door or other metal. Make sure speaker(s) load is not below minimum 2Ω load. The ESP/Protection Status LED will also flash 2 short pulses, followed by a long pause.

ssDC Offset: This can happen if the installation inadvertently connects the power wire to the speaker input(s). This can also happen if the amplifier has an internal problem. The amplifier will flash 4 short pulses, followed by a long pause, then repeat.

ssUndervoltage: Vehicle charging system is not supplying enough voltage to the amplifier. This can also occur if you use too small a gauge wire or the terminals connecting the amplifier power
