Verbindungsschritte

1. Lautsprecherkabel identifizieren: Locate the speaker wires from your factory radio or amplifier that you intend to use as input for the KISLOC2. Typically, these are the rear speaker wires for subwoofer applications or full-range speakers for multi-channel amplifier-Setups.
2. Eingangsleitungen anschließen:
   • Verbinden Sie Weiß wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
   • Verbinden Sie Weiß/Schwarz wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
   • Verbinden Sie Grau wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
   • Verbinden Sie Grau/Schwarz wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
   • Verbinden Sie Schwarz wire to a reliable chassis ground point in the vehicle.
3. Anschluss der RCA-Ausgänge: Plug your RCA cables from the KISLOC2's RCA output jacks into the RCA input jacks of your aftermarket ampschwerer.
4. Ferneinschalten verbinden: Verbinden Sie Blau wire from the KISLOC2 to the remote turn-on input of your aftermarket amplifier(s). This wire provides a 12V signal to turn on the amplifier when the factory radio is active.
5. Sichern Sie die Einheit: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

Betrieb

Once properly installed, the KISLOC2 operates automatically. It senses the audio signal from your factory radio and converts it to a line-level signal for your amplifier. The integrated DC offset detection activates the remote turn-on output.

• Einschalten: When your factory radio is turned on, the KISLOC2 will detect the DC offset in the speaker signal and activate its remote turn-on output (blue wire), signaling your amplifier to turn on. A red LED on the unit will illuminate to indicate active DC offset turn-on.
• Audioausgang: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your ampschwerer.
• Ausschalten: When the factory radio is turned off, the KISLOC2 will cease to detect the DC offset, and the remote turn-on output will deactivate, turning off your ampschwerer.

Wartung

The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside. To ensure longevity:

• Halten Sie das Gerät sauber und frei von Staub und Schmutz.
