During this two year period, there will be no charge for this replacement PROVIDED the unit is returned to Directed, shipping pre-paid. If the unit is installed by anyone other than an authorized Directed dealer, the warranty period will be 1 year from date of purchase by the dealer as indicated by the date code marking of the product. During this 1 year period, there will be no charge for this replacement PROVIDED the unit is returned to Directed, shipping pre-paid. [. . . ] Set the PHASE switch on the slave amp, move the phase switch from 0 to 180, exactly opposite of the master amp. For the speaker connections, connect the positive (+) speaker lead from the speaker to the positive (+) speaker terminal of the master amplifier. On the negative (-) speaker connection, take the negative (-) speaker terminal of the master amplifier and connect it directly to the negative (-) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier. The remaining positive (+) speaker terminal of the slave amplifier must be connected to the negative (-) speaker lead from the speaker. NOTE: For best results, connect both negative speaker terminals on the master amp to both negative terminals on the slave amp using at least 12 AWG cable. The Orion 2500D is not designed to work in a bridged or strapped configuration. Attempting to apply these configurations will damage the amplifier and will not be covered under warranty. 12 © 2006 Directed Electronics, all rights reserved MASTER AMPLIFIER PHASE SLAVE AMPLIFIER PHASE MASTER SLAVE 0° 180° MASTER SLAVE 0° 180° AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION Choosing Mounting Locations The location of your amplifier will depend on several important issues. Due to the low profile size of the Orion amplifiers, there are many possible installation locations that will yield satisfactory amplifier performance. Always mount the amplifier in a place that protects the amplifier from the elements. NOTE: Mounting amplifiers upside down is not recommended and may cause premature thermal shutdown. Amplifiers are not designed to endure the harsh environment of the exterior elements. WARNING! Passenger Compartment If you are going to mount the amplifier in the passenger compartment, make sure you have adequate room for ventilation. The amplifiers have been designed to make under-seat mounting possible. When mounting your amplifier under a seat or similar area, keep a minimum of 1" of clearance around the amplifier for adequate cooling. Trunk Compartment Mounting your amplifier in the trunk provides excellent performance as long as you do not restrict the airflow around the heatsink of the amplifier. For optimal results, mount the amplifier with as much clearance as possible. This type of mounting will yield the best cooling due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis. © 2006 Directed Electronics, all rights reserved 13 General Precautions and Installation Tips WARNING!Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake lines, hydraulic lines, vacuum lines, or electrical wiring when working on your vehicle. Disconnect the vehicle's ground wire at the battery before making or breaking connections to the audio system's power supply terminals. Failing to securely mount the amplifier can result in damage or injury, particularly in the event of an accident. An unmounted amplifier becomes a dangerous projectile in the event of a crash. Route the wires where they will not be scraped, pinched or damaged in any fashion. The +12V power supply wire must be fused as close as possible to the battery terminal, ideally within 12". Use the recommended fuse size or circuit breaker listed in the Power Connections section of this manual. If you need to replace the fuse plugged into the side of the amplifier, replace the fuse with the same size and type fuse that came with the amplifier. [. . . ] If the security system is armed and then the amplifier is disconnected from 12V DC, the amplifier will be locked out from operation. You can reset the amplifier by disarming the security system (it must be one of the transmitter learned by the system), then cycling the remote power on/off. Top Light Options - Light Off W/Service Code, Light On W/Service Code, Light Off W/O Service Code, Light On W/O Service Code. This feature allows the toplight to duplicate the function of the ESP status indicator. [. . . ]
