Whakanuia nga Whakaaro
- Ko te ampHe mea hanga te rifier mō te whakairinga mata.
- Kōwhiria he wāhi maroke, he pai te hauhautanga, ā, e tiakina ana mai i te rā tika me te wera nui.
- Me whakarite kia nui te wāhi huri noa i te amplifier for air circulation, especially around the heat sink.
- Avoid mounting near heat sources or in areas where it may be exposed to direct water spray.
Wiring Diagram (Conceptual)
Below is a conceptual overview of the wiring connections. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram in the full PDF user manual for precise instructions.
- Hononga Hiko: Honoa te amplifier to a stable 12V DC power source (12.25V nominal, up to 16V max) with appropriate gauge wiring and an inline fuse.
- Hononga Papa: Ensure a solid ground connection to the boat's common ground point.
- Whakakā Mamao: Connect to the remote output of your marine stereo head unit.
- Nga Whakauru RCA: Connect audio signal cables from your head unit's pre-outs to the amplifier's RCA inputs (CH1/2, CH3/4).
- Putanga Tukuoro: Honoa ō kaikorero moana ki te amplifier's speaker terminals. Observe correct polarity and impedance (2 ohm stable).

Te whakahaere i te Ampkaikawe
Kia tāuta, te amplifier operates in conjunction with your marine stereo head unit. Adjustments can be made using the controls on the ampkaiwhakarewa ake.
Whakatikatika Ororongo
- Mana Taumata: Adjusts the input sensitivity to match the output of your head unit. Start with the level control at minimum and slowly increase until desired volume is achieved without distortion.
- Crossover Filters (X-OVER SELECTOR):
- LP (Pae Iti): Allows only low frequencies to pass through, typically used for subwoofers. Adjustable from 40Hz to 160Hz.
- HP (Pae Teitei): Allows only high frequencies to pass through, typically used for full-range speakers. Adjustable from 40Hz to 600Hz.
- papatahi: Disables the crossover filter, allowing all frequencies to pass through.
- Whakarei i te Bass: Provides an adjustable bass enhancement from 0dB to +18dB, centered around 45Hz. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
- Tātari Subsonic: Filters out extremely low frequencies (20Hz to 55Hz) that are below the audible range or harmful to subwoofers, improving sound quality and protecting speakers.
Tuhipoka: Always make small adjustments and listen carefully to the audio output to prevent damage to speakers or the ampkaikawe
Te tiaki
The Fusion AM Series amplifier is designed for durability in the marine environment. Regular, simple maintenance can help ensure its long-term performance.
- Te horoi: Horoia te taha waho o te mata i ia wā, i ia wā amphe mea ngohengohe, damp kakahu. A ape i te whakamahi i nga matū kino, i nga horoi horoi ranei.
- Hononga: Annually inspect all wiring connections (power, ground, remote, RCA, speaker) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
- Whakahau: Me whakarite ko te waahi huri noa i te amplifier's heat sink remains clear of obstructions to allow for proper airflow and cooling.
- Tiaki Taiao: While designed for marine use, minimizing exposure to direct saltwater spray and extreme temperatures will prolong the life of the unit.
Raparongoā
If you experience issues with your Fusion AM Series amplifier, consult the following common troubleshooting steps before seeking professional assistance.
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Kore Kore /Amplifier Kaore e Hurihia | Blown fuse; Loose power/ground connection; Faulty remote turn-on wire. | Check and replace fuse; Verify all power and ground connections are secure; Test remote wire for 12V signal. |
| Kore Putanga Ororongo | Loose RCA cables; Incorrect input level setting; Speaker wires disconnected or shorted; Head unit issue. | Ensure RCA cables are firmly connected; Adjust input level; Check speaker wiring for shorts or disconnections; Test head unit functionality. |
| Oro Kopikopiko | Input level too high; Speaker impedance mismatch; Damaged speakers; Incorrect crossover settings. | Reduce input level; Verify speaker impedance (2 ohm stable); Inspect speakers for damage; Adjust crossover settings. |
| Amplifier Te wera nui | Insufficient ventilation; Overloaded speakers; Low impedance load. | Ensure clear airflow around heat sink; Check speaker impedance; Reduce volume or number of speakers if overloaded. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact Fusion customer support or a certified technician.
