3.2 Connexió d'alimentació

• GND (terra): Connect to a clean, unpainted metal point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
• REM (remot): Connecteu-lo a la sortida d'encesa remota de la unitat principal o a una font commutada de 12 V.
• +12V (Alimentació): Connect directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery via a fused power cable. The fuse should be located within 30 cm (12 inches) of the battery.

3.3 Connexions d'entrada d'àudio

• Entrada d'alt nivell: Connect to the speaker outputs of your factory or aftermarket head unit.
• Entrada de línia: Connect to the RCA pre-out connections of your head unit.
• Entrada òptica: For digital audio signals from compatible sources.

3.4 Connexions de sortida d'àudio

• Output Channels (A-L): Connect your speakers to these terminals. Ensure correct polarity for each speaker.

3.5 Connexions de control

• USB: Connect to a computer for DSP configuration using the dedicated software.
• Entrada de control: For connecting optional remote controls or accessories.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed, the V Twelve DSP requires configuration via a computer to optimize its audio performance for your specific vehicle and speaker setup.

4.1 Configuració DSP

Connecteu el amplifier to a computer via the USB port. Install the Helix DSP PC-Tool software (available from the manufacturer's website). This software allows you to adjust all DSP parameters, including equalization, crossovers, time alignment, and input/output routing.

4.2 Ajust de guany

The GAIN knob adjusts the input sensitivity of the amplifier. Set the gain to match the output voltage of your head unit. The CLIP indicator LED will illuminate if the input signal is too high, indicating distortion. Adjust the gain until the CLIP LED only flashes briefly on peak signals, or remains off for optimal sound quality.

5. Manteniment

The Helix V Twelve DSP is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure adequate ventilation around the amplificador per evitar el sobreescalfament.

6. Solució De Problemes

• Sense energia: Check all power connections (+12V, GND, REM). Verify the fuse in the power cable. Ensure the remote turn-on signal is present.
• Sense so: Check all audio input and output connections. Verify DSP settings (input routing, mute functions). Ensure speakers are correctly wired and functional.
• So distorsionat: Reduce the input gain. Check for proper grounding. Ensure speaker impedance matches amplifier specifications. Verify DSP settings for clipping or excessive equalization.
• Mode de protecció: Si el amplifier enters protection mode (indicated by a status LED), check for short circuits in speaker wiring, overheating (ensure proper ventilation), or excessively low impedance loads.
