Installation Location - Signat ROM2 Bedienungsanleitung

WARNING:
High-powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating extremely high levels of sound
pressure. Continued exposure to excessive sound pressure levels may cause hearing damage or
hearing loss. Operation of a motor vehicle while listening to audio equipment at sound pressure
levels may impair your ability to hear external sounds such as horns, warning signals, or
emergency vehicles. This constitutes a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety SIGNAT
recommends listening at lower volume levels while driving.
2.1 Planning your system
Before commencing the installation work, please first plan the complete installation, taking
into account the cable layout and the installation of the equipment.
1. Do you plan to add additional mobile electronics equipment in the future? If you plan to
expand your system by adding other components sometime in the future, ensure adequate
space is left and cooling requirements are met.
2. Should you use high or low level inputs? The ROM amplifiers have been designed to accept
low-level (pre-amp outputs from your radio) signal source. If your radio/source is equipped
with pre-amp outputs, you can use these to drive the amplifier.
3. Are your components matched? The RMS power rating of your speaker(s) must be about
equal to the RMS power rating of your amplifier. Your speaker(s) also must have an
impedance of 2 - 8 Ohms for stable amplifier operation. Impedance information is normally
printed on the speaker basket or magnet.
4. Where will the amplifier be installed? Consider both the length of your leads, and routing
when determining the mounting location. It is best to run power and RCA wiring on opposite
sides of the vehicle to prevent induced noise. Pre-amp input jacks require a length of high
quality shielded male to male RCA signal cables, like the Signat Platinum series.
We recommend handing over the installation work to a specialist installer. Evidence of
technically correct installation and connection of the equipment is a pre-condition for the
provision of guarantee services by SIGNAT, should a defect occur.
WARNING:
Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before mounting the amplifier or before making any
connections
2.2

Installation location

Choose a mounting location for your amplifier. The location of your amplifier will depend on
several important issues. The low-profile size of the ROM amplifiers allows for many possible
installation locations that will yield excellent amplifier performance and reliability.
1. Find a location on a flat, stable surface that protects the amplifier from the elements such as
water, heat, ice and road debris. Please ensure that there is sufficient room for movement
when laying the cable connections and for operating and inspecting the adjustment devices
and control switches. Be sure the mounting location and the drilling of pilot holes for
mounting will not present any hazard to wires, control cables, fuel lines, fuel tanks, hydraulic
lines, or other vehicle systems or components.
ATTENTION!
Components of this type may also be hidden in double
walled linings!
