INSTALLATION
VE1000.2 / VE1800.2 / VE800.4 / VE1200.4
General Installation Notes
The amplifier is generally mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area such as beneath a seat. Please be sure to
locate this unit where you have reasonable air circulation and protection from moisture. When considering the mounting location you should
minimize the length of the power and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will yield a more reliable installation. It is also important to ensure that
the heat sink fins are not against a panel or a surface, preventing air circulation. Do not install the amplifier on a subwoofer box or on vibrating
parts of the vehicle, since the vibrations can cause damages to the amplifier´s electrical components.
Installation of the amplifier
Mark the location for the mounting screw holes by using the amplifier as a
template. Drill holes at the marked locations and firmly fasten the amplifier
in place with the mounting screws supplied in the accessory kit. Before drilling
or cutting any holes, investigate the layout of your automobile thoroughly:
Take care when working near the gas lines, the hydraulic lines or
the electrical wiring at your car.
Electrical Connection
Ground (GND)
This wire is the electrical ground and must be fastened securely to the vehicle chassis.
The best method is to use a threading sheet metal screw since the threads cut into bare metal. Ensure that all paint or other insulation is removed
around the hole area, and using self tapping screw, securely affix the bare wire ends to the vehicle chassis. Use a piece of cable which is as short
as possible - use the same gauge as used for the +12V cable. Make sure that the connection is safe, a loose connection may result in amplifier
noise and fault condition.
Remote (REM)
Many music sources have an output terminal for connection of the remote turn-on of the power amplifier. If a radio doesn't have a remote
turn-on feature, then you can use the antenna relay wire, which activates the antenna motor. Please note, if the power antenna retracts
when the radio is operating, then you cannot use the antenna relay wire to operate the remote turn-on.
Battery Connection (+12V)
This wire is usually connected directly to the positive battery terminal. Ensure that the + power supply wire is fused via an assigned fuse in
line with the + power supply wire. Please use a sufficient gauge for the installed amplifiers (min 16-25 mm). This connection must be
completed using spade plug with insulating sleeve. The ESX VE Vison amplifiers are optimized for a operating voltage of 12-16 Volts.
Maxi-Fuse (FUSE)
The mounted Maxi-Fuses protects the amplifier of short circuit and overload. If you have to replace the Fuses, only replace with a equivalent
valued Fuse. The original installed Fuse is optimized for a 4 / 2 Ohm operation and 1 Ohm operation only for musical playback. In the 1 Ohm
operation under constant load the current consumption is increased, this means you have to replace the original Fuse by a appropriate Fuse with
a higher Value (Ask your retailer).

NOTE: If the amplifier's top-panel is white illuminated, the amplifier is in power mode. If the display is red illuminated,
the protection mode of the amplifier is activated caused by a malfunction (See page 33)
CAUSES: Overheating, short circuit on the speakers, overload (caused by low-impedance or low-power) or damage .
