Connection X2000.2 / X2400.2; Connection Of The Power Supply X2000.2 / X2400.2 - BRAX X 2400.2 Bedienungsanleitung

Connection X2000.2 / X2400.2 / GRAPHIC EDITIONS
The above amplifier models may only be installed in motor vehicles
which have a 12-volt negative terminal connected to the chassis ground.
Any other system could cause damage to the amplifier and the electrical
system of the vehicle.
The positive lead from the battery for the complete system should be
provided with a line fuse at a distance of max. 30 cm from the battery.
The amperage rating of the fuse is calculated from the maximum total
current input of the car/vehicle hifi system.
Never bridge fuses or replace them with fuses with a higher
amperage rating as such actions could lead to the destruction
both of the amplifier and the entire electrical system of the
vehicle.
As already mentioned, the negative lead from the vehicle battery to the
chassis should be disconnected in order to prevent the occurence of
short-circuiting. Install the cabling in a manner which precludes any dan-
ger of the leads being exposed to shear, crushing or rupture forces. If
there are sharp edges in the vicinity (e.g holes in the body work), all the
cables must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying.
Connection of the power supply X2000.2 / X2400.2 / GRAPHIC EDITIONS
The +12 volt power supply cable (see Fig. 2) should be connected direct-
ly to the positive terminal of the battery. A fuse should also be provided at
a distance of max. 30 cm from the battery.The amperage rating of the fuse
is calculated from the maximum total current input of the car/vehicle hifi
system.
The fuse holder appertaining to the amplifier is supplied with the amplifier
module.This must be installed at a distance of max. 20 cm from the positi-
ve terminal of the amplifier and equipped with the original BRAX fuse pro-
vided.
The fuse ratings are: for amplifier X 1000 = 60 A,
for amplifier X 1400 = 60 A,
for amplifier X 2000 = 100 A,
for amplifier X 2400 = 100 A.
Failure to comply nullifies the warranty.
The ground (chassis) cable (see Fig. 2) should be connected to the cen-
tral ground reference point (this is located where the negative terminal
of the battery is grounded at the metal chassis of the vehicle), or to a
bright bare-metal location on the vehicle chassis, i.e. an area which has
been cleaned of all paint residues. It must be ensured that resistance
values to the power sources (alternator, generator, battery) are minimi-
zed as excessive resistance can appreciably affect the audio quality and
dynamics of the system.The „Remote" cable (see Fig. 2) is connected to
the „Remote" connection or the automatic antenna connection of the
control unit (tuner/radio).The antenna connection is only activated if the
control unit is switched ON. This ensures that, with the control unit
switched off, the amplifier is also switched off to safe the battery.
Never lay the power supply cables adjacent to leads and lines
connecting other vehicle equipment (fan motors, fire detection
modules, gas/petrol lines etc.).
In order to avoid cross-talk distortion, audio cables should never be laid
together with electrical leads (with the exception of the screened BRAX
POWER TRAX power supply cables).
In order to ensure safe installation, use only high-quality connection
materials, and comply with the recommended minimum cross sec-
tions/gauge values of the cables for the individual amplifier modules.
As an aid to calculating the cross-sectional requirements of power cables
which are not longer than 5 m, we advise a figure of max. 5 A per mm
For the X 1000 and X 1400 BRAX amplifiers described and for the X
2000 and X 2400 a minimum cross section of 20 mm
positive 12-volt supply lead and for the ground (chassis) cable. In order
to ensure optimum sound quality and interference-free music reproduc-
tion, we recommend that installation be performed with BRAX POWER
TRAX power supply cables.The remote lead should have a cross section
of at least 1 mm 2 .
