Warning Lights - Focal FPS 2160 Manuel D'utilisation

focal power Symmetric amplifierS
U s e r m a n u a l
 GND: the GND (ground) power connector receives the negative (-) cable providing the connection between
the amplifier and the vehicle's chassis.
 REM: the REM connector links the amplifier, an additional amplifier and the source (car radio) via
a REM or REMOTE car radio output. This enables the automatic turn-on of the amplifier and the additional
amplifier from the source (car radio).
 SPEAKERS: the SPEAKERS connectors link the amplifier and the speaker crossovers (or the speakers in the
case of active filtering). It is IMPERATIVE to respect the polarities. (+ amplifier + crossover or + speaker
/ - amplifier - crossover or - speaker).
NOTE: the SPEAKER output of the amplifiers FPS 1500 and FPS 3000 is ONLY dedicated to the connection
of one or several subwoofer(s).
 HIGH CAP: The HIGH CAP connectors ensure the link between the amplifier and the HIGH CAP . modules
NOTE: Before any handling of the HIGH CAP modules, please refer to page 12.
 FUSE: The FUSE connector is dedicated to receive the amplifier fuse(s). In case of replacement, make sure
that the amperage is correct.
 WARNING LIGHTS: The green LED "Power" means that the device is on and that the running is correct.
The red LED "Protect" indicates that the amplification is under protection following any dysfunction, such as
overheating, fault, ...
 REMOTE CONTROL: NOTE: DO NOT CONFUSE REMOTE AND REMOTE CONTROL. The REMOTE
CONTROL output is dedicated to the connection of the supplied remote control. This attachment permits
the remote adjustment of the amplifier gain.
 0/9dB BASS BOOST: the BASS BOOST rotary potentiometer permits to raise the sound level of 0 to 9dB
at 45Hz for FPS 1500, FPS 3000 and at 95Hz for FPS 2300RX.
 SUBSONIC SWITCH: Permits to activate or bypass the adjustable SUBSONIC crossover thanks to the
subsonic potentiometer.
 SUBSONIC: the SUBSONIC rotary potentiometer is the equivalent of a HIGH-PASS crossover ONLY
dedicated to the amplifier subwoofer output (SPEAKER output for the FPS 1500 and FPS 3000 amplifiers).
The chosen value defines the frequency from which the signal will be attenuated or cut. The crossover
activation avoids distortion.
So, it's possible to choose a frequency between 20 and 50Hz, with a fixed filtering slope at 24dB/octave.
 PHASE: the PHASE rotary potentiometer permits to adjust the channel phase setting according to the
installation.
 FADER: The FADER switch (only available with FPS 4160) enables the channels 3 and 4 to copy out the
signals of the channels 1 and 2. So, if you only have a RCA output (one right and one left), you can still
amplify the four channels by activating the FADER mode. If you want to use the FPS 4160 in a double
bridged mode, you must connect the 4 RCA (the channels 1 and 2 for the left and the channels 3 and 4
for the right).
 GAIN POTENTIOMETER: Permits to adjust the amplifier gain from -9dB to +9dB compared with the
general GAIN of the amplifier. (This potentiometer works on the 2 channels of the FPS 2300RX, on the FPS
1500, FPS 3000 main level and on the channels 3 and 4 of the FPS 4160).
MUTE: The MUTE switch permits to soften the amplifier channels. (Only the channels 3 and 4 on the FPS
21
4160).
