Page 3: Description
DESCRIPTION The XC6210 and XC6410 use a PWM regulated power supply for superior sound and output wattage. All of the connections and controls for the XC6210 and XC6410 are conveniently labeled and located on one side of the amplifier. To ensure the best possible electrical connections, the power, speaker and RCA inputs are corro- sion resistant. An additional benefit of the XC6410 is the ability to create a 2, 3, or 4 configuration. In the event of component failure or a short circuit, the XC6210 and XC6410 incorporate protection circuits and ATC fuse protection to prevent damage to the amplifier. INPUT CONNECTIONS AND AUDIO CONTROLS The front panel of the XC6410 and XC6210 contain both connections for RCA and speaker level inputs, along with the audio controls as shown below.

Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION This section suggests Mounting and Wiring Precautions for installing the Clarion XC6210 or XC6410. If you do not posses the necessary tools and installation experience, do not attempt to install these amplifiers. Instead, contact your local Clarion audio dealer to perform the installation. MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS Prior to mounting the amplifier, make sure it is safe to mount the amplifier in desired location. Failure to do so can result in serious damage to the vehicle/ boat. Extra care and attention is necessary in marine installations due to the uncertainty of water conditions environment. Stainless steel hardware is recommended for marine applications. Additional precautions and suggestions: 1. For the most efficient cooling, mount the amplifier so cool air runs along the length of the heat sink, rather than across them. To increase air movement and circulation, a cooling fan can be installed. 2. Mount the amplifier on a rigid surface; avoid mounting to subwoofer enclosures or areas prone to vibration. 3. Prior to drilling and mounting, make sure the proposed mounting holes will not cut into the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines, electrical wiring, or the body of vehicle or boat. 4. Do not mount the amplifier where it is susceptible to water. WIRING PRECAUTIONS Read all of the wiring precautions prior to making any connections. If you are unsure and/or don’t have the necessary installation hardware, contact your local Clarion audio dealer to perform the installation. 1. Before you begin the installation, make sure the vehicle is not running and is in the OFF position. 2. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery (or batteries) before making any power connections. 3. When making connections, be sure that each connection is clean and secure. Insulate final connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. Failure to do so may damage your equipment. 4. A good ground is critical for the performance of the amplifier. A ground wire should be run directly from the battery to the amplifier (marine application). Use black insulated 10-gauge or larger wire for the amplifier’s ground (-) power lead. 5. Add a fuse holder and fuse at the positive (+) terminal of the battery. The fuse rating should equal the total current consumption at full output of the amplifier(s). Use red insulated 10-gauge or larger wire for the amplifier’s positive (+) power lead. Do not install the fuse until the complete installation has been... -

7. When creating passage holes for power cables, RCA’s cables, and speaker wires, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being damaged and prevent a short circuit. 8. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an “antenna” for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary. 9. In multiple amplifier systems, it is recommended to use a relay on the remote turn-on lead of the radio.

Page 14: Adjusting The Input Gain Control
ADJUSTING THE INPUT GAIN CONTROL After completing the installation, follow these steps to set the Input Gain Control. 1. Set Input Gain Control to MIN (counterclockwise). 2. Power on source. Set all Tone or Equalization Controls to “flat” positions and set Loudness off. 3. Play a CD, set the Source Volume Control to 75% of max level. 4. Slowly adjust the Input Gain Control of amplifier. Stop when you hear a slight distortion of audio. NOTE: If the audio system uses an equalizer, set its frequency controls to “flat” positions. SETTING THE CROSSOVER The Clarion XC6210 and XC6410 feature fully adjustable high and low pass crossovers. To set the crossover, follow these steps. 1. Using the Crossover Mode Switch, select the desired mode: LOW for Low Pass, HIGH for High Pass or FULL for Full Range. 2. Using the FREQ (Hz) Selection Control, select the desired frequency. If the desired frequency exceeds the range of the FREQ (Hz) Selection Control, slide the Crossover Frequency Multiplier Switch to x10. • For example, 50Hz x 10 = 500Hz or 500Hz x 10 = 5kHz NOTE: x10 Multiplier is available on XC6210 and XC6410 (only on CH3/CH4) SETTING THE BASS BOOST 1. Set Bass Boost to 0dB (counterclockwise). 2. Listen to a variety of music styles (e.g. Rock, Rap, etc.) and slowly adjust the Bass Boost control (clockwise) to realize the best bass response. FINAL SYSTEM CHECK 1. Power on the source unit. Slowly increase the Volume Control and listen to the audio. If there is no audio or if you hear any static, distortion, please check the connections and refer to the Troubleshooting section. Depending on your system design, the levels may become quite loud even at low Volume Control settings. Until you get an “audio feel” of the system’s power, use care when... -
Page 15: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem No Audio. Amplifier not powering on. (LED turned off) Solution Remote turn-on voltage. Check remote connections at amplifier and source unit. Blown amplifier fuse. Replace with new fuse (same rating). Power wires not connected. Check power and ground wiring at amplifier and at battery. Speaker leads shorted. Check speaker continuity to ground, it should not show a common ground. Speakers not connected or are blown. Check speaker connections at amplifier, measure coil impedance. Problem Audio cycles on and off. Solution Thermal protection circuits are shutting amplifier off. Check location for adequate ventilation; consult an authorized Clarion audio dealer. Problem Distorted audio. Solution Input Gain is not set properly, or damaged speaker cones. Review Setting Gain; inspect each speaker. (i.e. check connection, speaker impedance, etc.) Problem Audio lacks punch. Solution Speakers wired incorrectly, which causes cancellation of bass frequencies. Check polarity of wires from amplifier to each speaker as defined by the system design. XC6210/XC6410... - Page 16 Problem Amplifier fuse keeps blowing. Solution Incorrect wiring or short circuit. Review installation and check all wiring connections. Problem Whining or ticking noise in the audio with engine on. Solution Amplifier is picking up alternator noise or radiated noise.
