PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT - READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY
1. This unit does not contain a power amplifier and must be used with a
compatible external amplifier. The output of this unit is not designed for,
and is not capable of driving speakers directly.
2. The input of this unit operates at a low level (120 mV to 4.0 V) and
must be connected to the low-level (pre-amp level) outputs of the car
stereo.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to directly connect the speaker level outputs of
the car stereo to this unit or damage to the car stereo and/or
equalizer may result.
3. This unit is designed for 12V dc negative-ground electrical systems,
only.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The PEQ-200 should be easily accessible to the operator,
and is intended for in-dash (if a location is available),
console, or under-dash mounting as shown. To install the
unit, proceed as follows:
1. Carefully choose a favorable mounting location prior
to wiring the unit. Before deciding on the mounting
location, consider these points:
a.Will the unit be accessible for easy operation
while driving?
b.Is it a good solid mounting surface?
c. How will the wiring be routed to reach the unit?
d.Will it obstruct or interfere with passengers or
other controls?
2. After choosing the location, position the mounting
bracket and mark the location of the four screws on
the surface, two at each end.
3. Remove the bracket and drill a 3/32" hole at the four
locations.
CAUTION: Do not use any screws other than those
provided with t his unit. Use of longer screws
may short-circuit or damage internal components
of the unit.
4. Place the bracket in position and secure it to the
mounting surface using the four self-tapping
screws,flat washers and lockwashers provided.
5. Attach the PEQ-200 to the mounting bracket using
two machine screws through the bracket into each
side of the unit. Since the mounting bracket holes
are elongated vertically, the unit can be secured in
a tilted fashion to enhance control accessibility.
