Rockford Fosgate PUNCH RFT3061A Installation Et Fonctionnement page 9

NOTE: If you are having problems after installation follow the Troubleshooting procedures
below.
Procedure 1: Check Amplifier for proper connections.
Verify that POWER light is on. If POWER light is on skip to Step 2, if not continue.
1. Check in-line fuse on battery positive cable. Replace if necessary.
2. Verify that Ground connection is connected to clean metal of the vehicle's chassis.
Repair/replace if necessary.
3. Verify there is 10.5 - 15.5 Volts of current present at the positive battery and remote
turn-on cable. Verify quality connections for both cables at amplifier, stereo, and
battery/fuseholder. Repair/replace if necessary.
Procedure 2: Check Amplifier for audio output.
1. Verify good RCA/high-level input connections at stereo and amplifier. Check entire
length of cables for kinks, splices, etc. Test RCA/high-level inputs for AC current
with stereo on. Repair/replace if necessary.
2. Disconnect RCA/high-level input from amplifier. Connect RCA/high-level input
from test stereo directly to amplifier input.
Procedure 3: Check Amplifier if you experience Turn-on Pop.
1. Disconnect input signal to amplifier and turn amplifier on and off.
2. If the noise is eliminated, connect the REM lead of amplifier to source unit with a
delay turn-on module.
OR
1. Use a different 12 Volt source for REM lead of amplifier (i.e. battery direct).
2. If the noise is eliminated, use a relay to isolate the amplifier from noisy turn-on
output.
Procedure 4: Check Amplifier if you experience excess Engine Noise.
1. Route all signal carrying wires (RCA, Speaker cables) away from power and ground
wires.
OR
2. Bypass any and all electrical components between the stereo and the amplifier(s).
Connect stereo directly to input of amplifier. If noise goes away the unit being
bypassed is the cause of the noise.
OR
3. Remove existing ground wires for all electrical components. Reground wires to
different locations. Verify that grounding location is clean, shiny metal free of paint,
rust etc.
