3.2.2 – Connecting the outputs from the FSP-8
You can now start connecting the output cables.
Connect the RCA outputs (OUTPUT section) from the FSP-8 making sure you respect the corresponding
amplifiers which will power your speaker driver architecture (fig.E). The speaker driver architecture should
be set up using the 'Configuration' section in the FSP-8's DSP Manager software.
3.3 – Connecting and using the remote control
If you choose to install the optional remote control, connect the remote control cable supplied to the RS-
485 connector to benefit from real-time control, overall volume control, subwoofer settings and a reminder
of the pre-sets. (fig.F)
Click the control knob to navigate through the menus.
Turn the knob to make your selection.
3.4 – Connecting the power supply and REMOTE (fig.G)
Prepare the positive (+) power supply cable for the FSP-8 using an appropriate fork terminal and secure
in place by screwing tightly.
CAUTION
The cable connecting the positive (+) battery terminal to the 'B+' terminal on the FSP-8 MUST be fused
(ampere rating: 3 amperes) at less than 15" (40cm) away from the vehicle's battery. It must comply with
the recommendations given in section 3.1.
The connections on the fuse-holder must be insulated.
Both ends of the fuse holder should be connected to the positive (+) power cable. It should be placed
close to the battery (4" to 15"/ 10 to 40cm). Open the fuse holder, removing the fuse with care. Fix the fuse
holder's base in position.
Cut the red power cable to a length of 4" to 15" (maximum) from the battery. Keep the offcut of cable
which will be used to connect the other end of the fuse holder to the vehicle's positive (+) battery terminal.
Strip 1/3" (1cm) (fig.G), then tin. Screw the cable to the fuse holder terminal. Get the remaining offcut of
cable.
Prepare the positive (+) power supply cable for connecting the B+ terminal on the FSP-8
Insert the fuse into the fuse-holder(s), and screw shut tightly.
Now connect the REMOTE cable to the FSP-8 (REM terminal). Connect the other end of the REMOTE cable
to the head unit's REMOTE terminal.
Now connect the FSP-8's REMOTE OUT cable (REM OUT terminal) to your amplifier's REMOTE inputs.
Thus, when the FSP-8 is turned on, your amplifiers will be turned on.
3.5 – Start-up and checks – Connecting to the FSP-8 DSP Manager software
The connection phase is now complete. You must now check that the power supply is correct and that
everything is working correctly (head unit/FSP-8/amplifiers/speaker drivers). Set the source and amplifier
gain to their minimum. Turn on the different components.
