WARNING

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Please read this owner's manual care-

fully before installing this amplifier.

2. Disconnect the battery ground

terminal prior to making any electrical connections.

3. Check for any hazards or obstruc-

tions such as gas tanks, fuel or brake lines, and wiring harnesses before mounting the amplifier.

4. Pick a mounting location that will

provide adequate access and ventilation and protect the amplifier from heat, moisture, and dirt.

5. Avoid sharp metal areas when

routing cables to the amplifier, and run RCA cables away from the power cables and other potentially noisy car harnesses.

6. The amplifier should be grounded

with a short, heavy gauge wire

connected directly to the car at a bare metal surface, preferably scraped body sheet metal. Do not use factory grounded locations, seat bolts, or brackets that are spotwelded.

7. Always fuse your power connection within in 8 to 10 inches of the battery terminal. Use a fuse or circuit breaker rated slightly more than the on-board fuse(s) of the amplifier(s). The gauge of power wire used should take into account the total current draw of the system, and the length of the wire used. IASCA and other auto sound competition organizations have charts available for this; you can also find a chart in the MECP study guide. Minimum wire gauge recommendations for the individual amplifiers are listed on the specification

Prior to servicing your vehicle ensure that the alarm system is

ddiissaarrmmeedd

. Due to the amplifier’s anti-theft feature (if enabled), amplifier operation is disabled when the main power to the amplifier is removed while the alarm is armed. The amplifier operation must then be reset.

If the alarm is replaced with another ESP2 alarm system, ensure that the amplifier goes through a learn routine (using the Bitwriter

) prior to re-

enabling the anti-theft feature.

page. Always use the same gauge wire for the amplifier ground that you use for the power wire. Be sure to examine the battery ground cable of the vehicle, and if necessary, upgrade it by adding an additional ground wire that is the same gauge as the amplifier's power wire. Remember, the amplifier can only deliver its rated output when it is not current limited by the power and ground supply wires.

8. This amplifier is designed to drive a speaker load that measures from 2 to 8 ohms (1 ohm on D2205 Sub Output). Keep in mind that heat is the long-term enemy of automotive electronics and the lower your speaker load, the more heat is generated. For low impedance speaker applications or restricted ventilation installations, an external cooling fan may be advisable.

9. Battery and ground connections to the vehicle should be made with crimped ring terminals of the appropriate size (surface area is what counts); soldering the terminals after crimping is also recommended.

10. Due to the high-frequency MOSFET switching power supply, filtering the power cable is not generally required (remember that the amp can't deliver full output if the power supply is restricted). Proper grounding of the signal source is mandatory for the amplifier to reach its performance peak. If the RCA inputs are not grounded adequately via the signal source, electrical noise from the vehicle may be picked up in the system.

ESP®®FEATURES AND CONTROLS

FIGURE 2—AMPLIFIER CONNECTIONS REAR

These amplifiers incorporate an on-board Directed ESP

Engine. In addition to allowing menu-driven parameter adjustment*, operate with security products from Directed Electronics to incorporate advanced ESP2 features. Your dealer can use a Bitwriter

with Firmware version 1.906 or later to access these parameters.

** NNoottee::

The ESP

features are

obtained by using Bitwriter

and a 3 pin ESP®cable. While a Bitwriter® can only talk to one ESP

/ESP2 device at a time, multiple amplifiers can be set to respond to Arm/Disarm commands. Simply repeat the TX ID Learn procedure for each amplifier. When

A802

completed use a Y-cable to connect the Alarm signals to both amplifiers.

NNoottee::

Prior to using the anti-theft or valet features it is recommended that the alarm be installed and its functionality verified. Please consult the install or operations guide for the appropriate alarm.

For the Bitwriter

to Amp connection, the cable must have the same color sequence at both ends of the cable. For the Alarm to Amplifier, the Transmit and Receive wires must cross from one end to the other.

Bitwriter

commands can control parameters such as Turn on Delay, Fan Control, Input Gain adjustment, and also place the amplifier into a monitoring state for commands from an ESP2 equipped alarm.

The fan will automatically turn on when the internal temperature exceeds approximately 40 deg C. The ON option causes the fan to operate whenever the Amplifier is on. Use the ON option if you are using the external FAN port to drive optional

LED tubes. In the OFF mode the external FAN port is disabled.

The sensitivity on the gain control can be limited to specific ranges. The DEFAULT position allows adjustment over the full range of amplifier sensitivities. There are 4 other ranges 0.5-1.0V,

1.0V-2.0V, 2.0-4.0V, 4.0-8.0V.

IInnppuutt GGaaiinn AAddjjuussttmmeenntt --

In the LOCK position, the gain range and gain control can be locked out to prevent accidental mis-adjustment. The

1122

Default mode is UNLOCKED.

VVaalleett --

Selecting ENABLE allows the amplifier to monitor valet signals from the alarm system. The amplifier will not power up once remote power is removed when the Valet monitoring mode is ENABLED and the alarm system has been set into Valet mode.

NNoottee::

To make use of the Anti-theft or Valet features, the amplifier must "learn" which transmitters are associated with the currently used alarm system. See item 8 below.

If selected while the remote power is on, the amplifier will continue playing until the remote power is turned off.

To Clear Valet Mode, Disable Valet mode on the alarm, then cycle the remote power line off then on again. The amplifier will power up normally after the Turn On Delay time has expired.

AAnnttii--tthheefftt --

Selecting ON, allows the amplifier to monitor Arm and Disarm signals from the alarm, rendering the amp in-operable if stolen. When OFF, these signals are ignored. OFF is the factory default setting.

When main power is removed while the unit is armed, the unit is placed

into a "stolen state". The ESP

Status indicator will blink rapidly, and the amplifier will not continue its power up sequence. Also when there is currently an ARM signal active on the bus, the amplifier cannot be written to by the Bitwriter

To reactivate the amplifier, connect the alarm that was used to arm the amplifier, and press the disarm button. Ensure the remote line is off(turn it off if this is not the case), and then turn the amplifier on. The amplifier should power up normally after the Turn On Delay expires.

LLeeaarrnn TTXX IIDDss

DDeeffaauulltt OOffff..

Before the unit will respond to Arm/Disarm/Valet Commands from the alarm system, it needs to establish communications with this alarm system. Once this procedure is performed, the unit will store this information permanently in memory. The procedure only needs to be repeated if the alarm unit is replaced or all the transmitters in an alarm system are replaced.

2. Press the up arrow 3 times, or the down arrow 7 times to reach the Learn TX IDs menu. Press 'Select' until the ON appears.

3. Press the write key twice. The ESP

status indicator should begin blinking.

NNoottee::

The following should be accomplished within 20 seconds or the learn session will time out. If this occurs, the LED will stop blinking. Reconnect the Bitwriter

and press WRITE twice to re-enter the TX ID Learn mode.

4. Disconnect the Bitwriter

and connect the Amp to the alarm cable.

5. Press ARM on any transmitter attached to the alarm system. The LED should go on if the amplifier was on prior to TX ID or go out if the amplifier is off.

NNoottee::

When the amplifier receives

ESP

bus activity(typically either

arm or disarm signals, it will blink

to indicate Arm or Disarm commands. This allows the installer to verify that the proper cable is in use and that the transmitters have been properly programmed. The unit must still be programmed to respond to Valet and Arm commands with a Bitwriter

for the Anti-theft/Valet modes to lock out unauthorized operation.

: Remember that the Directed ESP®Engine incorporates a digital gain control with a finite number of adjustment steps (32). A very small adjustment may not cause any audible changes in output. In addition the range selected may further restrict the adjustment. Extremely quick, large changes may result in audible artifacts, particularly on low frequency material as the gain is changing more rapidly than the source electrical wave.

CROSSOVER SETTINGS AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT

Your Directed Audio power amplifier needs to be adjusted carefully to achieve maximum performance. These are some guidelines to follow when fine-tuning the amplifier.

 For full-range and simultaneous

stereo/mono bass applications, the crossover selection switch should be set to FULL. If the amplifier is driving your subwoofers, set the switch to LOW, and for mid-bass/midrange output, set to HIGH.

 The crossover frequency control needs

to be adjusted to suit your particular system. For subwoofer applications, try and keep the setting low enough to prevent image smearing (you should not be able to hear male voices from the subwoofer) but not so low as to create a gap between the subwoofer and the mid-bass/midrange speakers. For mid-bass/midrange settings, try to keep the setting low enough to keep your sound stage in front of you, without overdriving the speaker. It will be to your advantage to spend some extra time with this adjustment, listening to familiar music or system set-up discs to achieve the kind of musical reproduction that you prefer.

 The gain adjustment allows you to set

proper signal match for clean, quiet amplifier operation. For full-range and simultaneous stereo/mono bass applications, start by playing some music you are familiar with. With the gain adjustment on the amplifier in the

middle of its rotation, bring up the volume on your head unit to the 3/4 volume setting or until you start to hear distortion or clipping. If you hear distortion before you reach the 3/4 volume setting of your head unit, reduce the gain setting on the amplifier and start to raise the head unit volume again. When you can listen to the music at or slightly above 3/4 on your head unit without audible distortion, slowly raise the gain of the amplifier until distortion is heard, then back off the gain until the distortion is not audible. This setting will allow you to reach full output with all but the quietest of source material, while avoiding excessive noise in the system.

NNoottee::

Remember that the Directed ESP®amplifiers use a digital gain control with a finite number of adjustment steps. A very small adjustment may not cause any audible change in level.

 The same procedure should be used for

adjusting the amplifier when the on board crossover is set to LOW or HIGH, but you will also have to take into consideration the effect that gain adjustment has on system frequency response and imaging. Again, plan on spending some time with music that you know getting the gain and crossover settings the way you like. Test discs and analyzers may help with this process, but in the end it's your ears that count - listen to the music!

LED TUBE INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

This Directed Audio amplifier has been designed with a custom heat sink that can accommodate two (optional—not supplied) VARAD LED tubes.

1. Before installing the LED tubes, remove and discard the mounting feet from the

VARAD LED tubes.

2. Slide each LED tube assembly into your Directed Audio amplifier heat sink. Ensure

that the LEDs are facing out for optimal visibility. The wires from the LED tube

assembly should be on the signal input end of the amplifier. The Black wire from

the LED tube is ground and the Black/White wire from the LED tube is power.

4. Run the two wires from the tube assembly and connect them to the 4-pin

LED/FAN input connector. Refer to the LED/FAN harness diagram given earlier in

this manual.

NNOOTTEE::

If the optional fan IS NOT being used, it is recommended that the second LED tube be wired to this circuit. If the optional fan is being used, it is recommended that the second LED tube be wired in parallel with the first LED tube.

SUBSONIC FILTER ADJUSTMENT (D2205 ONLY)

This amplifier incorporates a subsonic filter to maximize the performance of a subwoofer. The subsonic filter is a high pass filter that removes unwanted bass output at very low frequencies from the woofer. This increases the output of a subwoofer by as much as 3 dB by increasing the mechanical power handling of the subwoofer. Depending on the type of enclosure the subsonic filter can increase the useable low

frequency output by an additional 10 dB! Acceptable boost levels are determined by the type of enclosure used, wattage of the amplifier, and the woofer’s excursion capability.

The following guidelines should be used for proper set-up of the subsonic filter to provide optimum performance and reliability from your system.
