INSTALLATION TIPS, TESTS & PROCEDURES
CONNECT THE WIRING TO THE VOLUME CONTROL FIRST! The
labeled, removable plugs make connecting wires to the volume con-
trols much easier! Please refer to the wiring diagram below.
1. Strip back 1/4" of insulation from each wire that is to be connected to
the volume control. Twist tightly, making sure there are no frayed
ends.
2. Connect the speaker wires to the plug labeled SPEAKERS. Make
sure to maintain proper polarity (speaker + to plug +, speaker - to
plug - ).
3. Connect the wires coming form the amplifier to the plug labeled
AMPLIFIER (the amplifier should first be powered down). Make
sure to maintain proper polarity (amplifier + to plug +, amplifier - to
plug -).
4. Once all wires are connected, plug the connectors back on to the
volume control, making sure that the markings on the plugs match
the markings on the volume control. REVERSING THE AMPLIFIER
& SPEAKER PLUGS MAY LOOK, ACT AND SMELL LIKE A SHORT
CIRCUIT AT THE AMPLIFIER!
5. Install the volume control in the gang box or P-Ring using the
screws provided. Be careful not to stress the wires as this may
cause the plugs to dislodge.
DO NOT CONNECT THE WIRES FROM THE VOLUME
CONTROL TO THE AMPLIFIER UTIL THE FOLLOWING CHECKS &
TEST HAVE BEEN PERFORMED!
• With an Ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the + and - of
each pair of wires that is to be connected to the amplifier's speak-
ers outputs. Under no circumstances should this reading be below
3.5 Ohms. A reading of less than 3.5 Ohms may mean that the
wiring input and output plugs on the volume control may have been
hooked up backwards (which can cause serious damage to the
amplifier). An open reading may indicate a polarity reversal.
• Confirm that the impedance select jumpers are set correctly.
• Confirm that the amplifier is powered down before connecting any
volume control wires to it.
