Pyle Elite Series Waterproof Amps Manual
Warnings
- Read these instructions and keep them for future reference.
- Carefully follow instructions and follow directions carefully.
- Keep the amplifier dry, as some liquids may contain minerals that corrode electronic circuitry.
- Clean amplifier housing only with a slightly damp cloth. No chemicals or solutions.
- Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, stoves, or other electrical devices that produce heat.
- Prevent any cables, wired or power cords from being walked on, bent stretched, or pinched, particularly at the plug or at the point where connects to the amplifier.
- When uncertain about specifications, please first consult the Pyle Audio website and see the FAQs.
- Ensure this unit is placed on a stable and flat surface and can accommodate the weight of this unit.
- Unplug this unit during lightning storms or when it is unused for an extended period of time.
- Do not leave this device unattended when powered on.
- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged or malfunctions in any manner. This would include damage to the power supply cord or plug.
PLEASE NOTE:
Users must ensure that any type of smoke and related substances are not allowed to enter the amplifier. Smokey air is corrosive and prolonged exposure will cause irreparable damage to your amplifier. Take precautions before reconnecting to a power supply. Be aware that when any equipment is taken from a cold to a humid location, condensation may occur inside. Always allow time for the equipment to attain the same temperature as its environment before reconnecting to a power supply.
Testing & Connections
After all the connections have been made. turn on your stereo and listen for the amplifier to turn on. If there are any unusual noises from the speakers then turn the system off and recheck all the wiring. After you have connected your radio or equalizer to the amplifier, you may adjust the gain control to match the output level of your radio:
- Set the volume control on your radio to 2/3 position.
- Adjust the gain control for an average listening level.
- Turn the radio volume all the way down and listen for background noise.
- Start your vehicle and listen for electrical noise.
- Making fine adjustments to the sensitivity can reduce background noise and some engine noise.
- CAUTION: Never turn the sensitivity up any farther than you need to get clear sound at 2/ 3 volume.
- This adjustment only needs to be made once.
NOTE: CARE MUST BE TAKEN AGAINST BATTERY OVER-DISCHARGE CAUSED BY LONG OPERATION Of THE SET AT A HIGH SOUND LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING OR IDLING.
Maintenance
Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. liquids can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits. Use the amplifier only in normal-temperature environments. Temperature extremes of heat or cold can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts. Handle the amplifier gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the amplifier to work improperly. Keep the amplifier away from dust and dirt. which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the amplifier with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the amplifier. After all the connections have been made. turn on your stereo and listen for the amplifier to turn on. If there are any unusual noises from the speakers then turn the system off and recheck all the wiring.
PLMRA210BT – System Layout
Power Connection Connect the +12V of the amp to your vehicle’s battery (+) Connect the GND of the amp to your vehicle’s battery (-), ground properly Users may also reinforce the ground connection by adding another connection of gauged wire from the (-) negative battery terminal to the chassis of the stereo unit. Connect the ‘Remote’ of the amp to your vehicle’s external switch for a positive 12V ON/OFF connection. This may be connected to the receiver power antenna lead (Amp turn on) — typically blue in color.
PLMRA210BT – Wiring
Note:
Elite Series Ampshave built-in short circuit protection. If you mistakingly connect any speaker wires to the ground, or positive power ( +) and (-) Wires short together, the protection circuit will operate automatically and cut off output. In case of this, you must switch OFF the whole system immediately and double-check speaker wire connections and isolation before switching on the amplifier again.
Stereo Input Connection
– RCA Type The Elite Series Amps feature plated RCA terminals for low-level input connections to match radios and equalizers with line-level output. Couple the RCA input with the car stereo/equalizer output using RCA-type connector cables.
Mono Input Connection
RCA Type Select Elite Series Amps may easily be bridged for mono operation by feeding the same signal to both LEF T and RIGHT Input terminals. The simplest way to achieve this is by using a Y-adaptor to connect your car stereo output.
Speaker Connection
Stereo Amp System Connect the output terminals to the corresponding LEFT and RIGHT Speakers. (Fig. 1 below shows a pair of speakers connected in stereo).
Speaker Connection
Mono Amp System Select Elite Series Amps may be bridgeable from a 2 channel amplifier to a one-channel amplifier. The ideal speaker impedance for optimum operation is 4 ohms. The amplifier will provide stable operation when operated between 2 and 8 ohms loads. The minimum recommended speaker load is 2 ohms for each channel in normal operation. When operating in the bridged mode the minimum recommended speaker load is 4 ohms for each bridged channel. Operation of the amplifier below this impedance load can damage both the amplifier and your speaker and will void your warranty.
Speaker negative terminals on the amplifier are not used in the bridged mode. Bridging is done by using multiple channels of an amplifier to drive a common load. Bridging means that you will use more than one source of power to drive a load (speaker). The sources of power are the independent channels of the amplifier.
Power Connection
Connect the +12V of the amp to your vehicle’s battery (+) Connect the GND of the amp to your vehicle’s battery (-), and ground properly Users may also reinforce the ground connection by adding another connection of gauged wire from the (-) negative battery terminal to the chassis of the stereo unit. Connect the ‘Remote’ of the amp to your vehicle’s external switch for a positive 12V ON/OFF connection. This may be connected to the receiver power antenna lead (Amp turn on) — typically blue in color.
