General installation instructions for HELIX-components
To find out how digital HELIX crossover works best for you, read
this manual carefully and follow the instructions for installation.
We guarantee that this product has been checked for proper
functioning before shipping.
Before you start installation, disconnect the car battery at the
minus pole. We would urge you to have the installation work car-
ried out by a specialist as verification of correct installation and
connection of the unit is a prerequisite for warranty cover of this
HELIX product.
Install your HELIX DXP-6 at a dry location where there is suffi-
cient air circulation to ensure adequate cooling of the equipment.
For safety reasons, the crossover must be secured in a professio-
nal manner. This is performed by means of the fixing screws scre-
wed into a mounting surface offering sufficient retention and sta-
bility.
Before drilling the holes for the screws, carefully examine the area
around the installation position and make sure that there are no
electrical cables or components, hydraulic brake lines or any part
of the petrol tank located behind the mounting surface - otherwi-
se these could be damaged. You should be aware of the fact that
such components may also be concealed in the double-skin trim
panels/mouldings.
General instruction for connecting the digital crossover
The HELIX DXP-6 may only be installed in motor vehicles which
have a 12-volt minus pole connected to the chassis ground. Any
other system could cause damage to the amplifier and the elec-
trical system of the vehicle.
The plus cable from the battery for the complete system should be
provided with a main fuse at a distance of max. 30 cm from the
battery. The value of the fuse is calculated from the maximum total
current input of the car audio system.
Install the cabling in a manner which precludes any danger of the
leads being exposed to shear, crushing or rupture forces. If there are
sharp edges in the vicinity (e.g. holes in the bodywork) all cables
must be cushioned and protected to prevent fraying.
Never lay the power supply cables adjacent to leads and lines
connecting other vehicle equipment (fan motors, fire detection
modules, gas lines etc.).
In order to ensure safe installation, use only high-quality connections
and materials. Ask your dealer for high quality accessories.
