INTRODUCTION

The Punch Status Display is an LED array which monitors amplifier
performance. The PSD is a 2-channel monitor which has an indicator
for Power, three indicators for Signal Level (sig-max-clip), and an
indicator for Thermal condition. The display is designed to be
stackable for multiple amplifier monitoring and can be used with
compatible Rockford Fosgate stereo and mono amplifiers.

We recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer
install your new accessory. If you do choose to install the accessory
yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning.

1. POWER Indicator – The POWER LED will illuminate when the
amplifier turns on.

2. SIGNAL Indicator – The SIGNAL LED will illuminate when audio
signal is present at the amplifier.

3. MAX Indicator – The MAX LED will illuminate when the audio signal
has reached its maximum amplified level (approximately –2dB from
clip).

4. CLIP Indicator – The CLIP LED will illuminate when the audio signal
has exceeded (clipped) its maximum amplified level.

5. THERMAL Indicator – The THERMAL LED will illuminate when a
fault is detected by the protection circuitry in the amplifier's power
supply. The power supply protection circuitry monitors overvoltage,
undervoltage and thermal conditions.

6. Data Interface Jacks – The RJ45 interface provides a convenient
connection for the data interface cable.

7. Remote/Dimmer Connector – The mini 2-pin connector provides a
convenient connection for Remote Turn-On and Dimmer input.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the PSD:
Battery Post Wrench Soldering Iron (optional)

#1 Phillips Screwdriver Solder (optional)
Wire Strippers (optional) Heat Gun (optional)
1/8" diameter heat shrink tubing (optional)

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing
your new PSD. Pre-planning your layout and best wiring routes will save
installation time.

1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to
beginning the installation.

2. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting
your Punch Status Display.

3. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into vacuum lines
or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.

4. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the
vehicle provides the best protection.

5. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or
plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.

6. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with
proper fusing. Be sure the Remote and Dimmer wires are connected

to an appropriately fused electrical system.

MOUNTING LOCATIONS

The Punch Status Display can be installed in a wide range of operating
locations. However, care should be taken to ensure optimum monitoring
without causing distractions under normal driving conditions. Listed
below are the following options for installation.

Engine Compartment

Mounting the Punch Status Display in the engine compartment will void
your warranty. We didn't think you would actually install the PSD in the

engine compartment. We just wanted to make sure you were paying
attention to the installation instructions.

Instrument Panel

Mounting the Punch Status Display in the instrument panel provides
optimum monitoring. The PSD should be securely mounted using the

“Standard Mount” or “ISO Mount” method.

Center Console

Mounting the Punch Status Display in the center console panel provides
optimum monitoring. The PSD should be securely mounted using the

“Standard Mount” or “ISO Mount” method.

Glove Box

Mounting the Punch Status Display in the glove box is adequate, but does
not provide easy monitoring. Glove Box mounting should only be done
if “Instrument Panel” or “Center Console” mounting are not acceptable
(i.e., maintaining integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards).

Under Dash

Mounting the Punch Status Display under the dash is adequate, but does
not provide easy monitoring. Under dash mounting should only be done
if “Instrument Panel,” “Center Console” or “Glove Box” mounting are not
possible. Mount the PSD to the side of the driver's area to reduce
interference with the parking brake, gear shift or operating pedals.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to
beginning the installation.

1. Route the Data Interface Cable inside the vehicle to provide the best
protection. Leave slack at each end of the cable for the connection of
the PSD and amplifier.

2. Configure the Stereo/Mono Jumpers by removing the two Phillips screws
from each side of the PSD that hold the sheet metal top in place. Remove
the sheet metal and locate the Stereo/Mono jumpers on the PC board. To
accept a Stereo amplifier input, both jumpers should be INSTALLED on
the jumper pins. To accept a Mono or pair of Mono amplifier inputs, both
jumpers should be REMOVED from the jumper pins.

3. Configure the Remote Jumper located on the PC board. The position
of this jumper determines whether the PSD is controlled by the
amplifier or separately. When INSTALLED, the Remote Turn-On wire
is disabled and the amplifier will automatically turn on the PSD. When
the jumper is REMOVED, the Remote Turn-On wire is enabled and the
PSD is controlled by an optional switch. Determine which method is
preferable for your particular application. NOTE: The Remote Jumper must

be

enabled

4. When connecting the Remote/Dimmer Harness leads to the electrical
system, solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installa­tion. For each connection, cut a 1" piece of heat shrink tubing and slide
over one of the wires. Strip each wire 3/8", then twist together and
solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing with
a hot air gun until no bare wire is exposed.

when using a Power 250m2, Power 500m or Power 250m.

The Remote Turn-On (Blue) lead should be connected (when Remote
Jumper is enabled) to the remote turn-on or power antenna output
from the source unit. An in-line switch may be used if you would like
to disable the PSD during operation.

The Dimmer (Orange) lead should be connected to the “park light”
or to a switched +12 volt source when the headlights are turned on.

5. Adjust system gains
Although the PSD does monitor the output signal from the amplifier
it is not designed as a replacement for an oscilloscope or other
specialized test equipment.

6. Plug in the Data Interace Cable and Remote/Dimmer Harness into
the rear of the PSD and check for frayed wires or loose connections.

CONECTANDO EL SISTEMA

Por seguridad, desconecte el borne negativo de la bateria de su coche
antes de comenzar la instalación.

1. Coloque el cable de Interficie de Datos en el interior de su vehiculo
de manera que éste quede protegido. Deje un trozo libre y suelto en
cada extremo del cable para poder conectar el PSD y el Amplificador.

2. Configure el Remote Jumper situado en la placa PC. La posición de
éste jumper determina si el PSD está controlado por el amplificador
o independientemente. Si está colocado, el cable de encendido
remoto es activado y el PSD es controlado por un interruptor
separado. Determine que método prefiere particularmente. NOTA:

El jumper de Remote debe estar colocado cuando use usted un
Power 250m2, un Power 500m o un Power 250m.

3. El cable del encendido remoto (Azul) debe estar conectado (cuando
el jumper de remoto también está conectado) al encendido remoto
o a la salida de alimentación de la antena de su unidad fuente. Debe
utilizar un interruptor en la própia linea o cable si quiere desactivar
el PSD.

4. El cable de Dimmer (Naranja) debe estar conectado a las “luces de
posición” o a una fuente que entregue +12 voltios cuando los faros
sean encendidos.

E

SPAÑOL

5. Ajuste las ganancias del sistema antes de instalar el visualizador del
estado de Punch.

Aunque el PSD permita monitorizar la señal del amplificador, no está
diseñado para recemplazar un osciloscópio u otro aparato de test
especializado.

BRANCHEMENT DU SYSTÈME

Pour votre sécurité, déconnectez la borne négative de la batterie avant
de commencer l'installation.

1. Faire passer le cable d'interface dans le véhicule de manière à le
protéger au maximum. Laisser du mou à chaque extrémité du cable
afin de connecter le PSD et l'amplificateur.

2. Configurer le pontage (Remote Jumper) situé sur le circuit imprimé.
La position de ce jumper détermine si le PSD est contrôlé par
l'amplificateur ou séparément. Lorsque le jumper est installé, le fil
de commande est désactivé et l'amplificateur allume
automatiquement le PSD. Lorsque le jumper est enlevé, le fil de
commande d'allumage est activé et le PSD est contrôlé par un
interrupteur séparé. C'est à vous de déterminer quelle méthode
d'allumage du PSD convient le mieux à votre application. NOTE: Le

jumper d'allumage doit être enlevé lorsque le PSD est raccordé à
un Power 250m2, Power 500m ou Power 250m.

3. Lorsque le jumper de commande est enlevé, le fil (bleu) de commande
d'allumage doit être connecté au fil de commande de l'antenne
électrique de l'autoradio. Il est possible d'installer un interrupteur
sur ce fil si vous désirez éteindre le PSD.

F

RANÇAIS

4. Le fil (orange) du dimmer peut être connecté aux feux de position
ou à un fil fournissant un 12 volts positif lorsque les phares sont
allumés.

5. Ajustez les gains AVANT d'installer le Punch Status Display (PSD).
Bien que le PSD contrôle le signal de sortie de l'amplificateur il n'est
pas conçu pour remplacer un oscilloscope ou tout autre appareil de
test spécialisé.

VERKABELUNG DES SYSTEMS

Zu Ihrer eigenen Sicherheit klemmen Sie bitte das Negativ-Kabel an Ihrer
Batterie ab, bevor Sie mit dem Anschlieβen beginnen

1. Ziehen Sie das Daten-Interface Kabel so durch Ihr Fahrzeug, daβ es
den bestmöglichen Schutz hat. Achten Sie darauf das es nicht
beschädigt werden kann. Lassen Sie an beiden Enden genug Kabel
übrig, daβ Sie problemlos Endstufe und Display anschlieβen können.

2. Einstellen der Remote Jumper auf der Platinenoberfläche. Die Posi-
tion der Jumper entscheidet ob das Display über die Endstufen oder
separat geschaltet wird. Mit eingestecktem Jumper ist die Remote
Leitung ohnc Funktion das Display wird mit dem Verstärker geschaltet.
Wird der Jumper herausgenommen, ist das Remote Kabel in Funktion
das PSD wird dann über einen separaten Schalter aktiviert. Verwenden
Sie, die für Sie günstigere Methode.

Achtung: Der Remote Jumper mu
einer Power 250m2, Power 500m oder Power 250m.

3. Das Remote Einschalt-Kabel (blau) muβ angeschlossen werden,
wenn der Jumper herausgenommen wurde. Es wird verbunden mit
der Schaltleitung des Radios “power Antenne” Sie können einen
getrennten Schalter einsetzen um das PSD ein-oder auszuschalten.

ββ

β herausgenommen werden bei

ββ

4. Das Dimmer Kabel (orange) sollte mit der Instrumentenbeleuchtung
Ihres Fahrzeuges geschaltet werden, das gibt Ihnen die Moglichkeit
die LEDs in der Helligkeit zu regulieren. Oder Sie verwenden +12
Volt Kabel des Abblendlichtes.

5. Stellen Sie erst die Gains Ihrer Anlage ein bevor Sie das Status
Display installieren. Das Status Display kann das Ausgangs-Signal
der Endstufe anzeigen, es dient aber nicht als Ersatz für ein Oszilloscope
oder anderes Testequipment.

CABLARE IL SISTEMA

Per motivi di sicurezza, disconnettere il cavo negativo dalla batteria
prima di iniziare l'installazione.

1. Passare il cavo di interfaccia dati all'interno dell'auto con il percorso
che permette la massima protezione. Lasciare un po’ di cavo in ecesso
ad ogni estremitá del cavo per permettere la connessione
all'amplifciatore e al PSD.

2. Configurare i ponticelli del consenso che sono positionati sul circuito
stampato. La posizione di questi ponticelli determina se il PSD sará
controllato dagli amplificatori o meno. Quando il ponticello é installato,
il cavo di consenso é disabilitato e gli amplificatori accendono
automaticamente il PSD. Quando il ponticello é rimosso, il lcavo di
consenso é abilitato e il PSD é controllato da un interruttore esterno.
Decidete quale configurazione é preferibile per la vostra
configurazione. NOTA: Il ponticello non deve essere installato

quando si impiegano il Power 250m2, il Power 500m ed il Power
250m.

3. Il cavo di consenso dell'accensione (blu) deve essere collegato
(quando il ponticello del consenso é stato rimosso) al cavo id
accensione degli amplificatori o dell'antenna elettrica proveniente
dall'autoradio É possibile inserire un interruttore supplementare per
disabilitare il PSD.

4. Il cavo dell'illuminazione (anarncione) deve essere collegato alle luci
di posizione o ad una alimentazione +12 volt presente con le luci
accese.

5. Regolate i livelli del sistema prima di installare il PSD, che, anche se
monitorizza il segnale di uscita dell'amplificatore, non é stato progettato
per sostituire oscilloscopi o altri strumenti di misura.
