2. Identificar los cables de los altavoces: Locate the speaker output wires from your factory or aftermarket head unit. These will be connected to the input side of the XPLOC4's wiring harness.
3. Connect Speaker Inputs: Connect the corresponding speaker wires from your head unit to the input wires of the XPLOC4 harness. Match positive to positive and negative to negative for each channel (Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left, Rear Right).
4. Conexiones de alimentación y tierra:
   • Conectar el +12V (Yellow) wire from the XPLOC4 to a constant +12V power source.
   • Conectar el GND (negro) wire from the XPLOC4 to a solid chassis ground point.
5. Remote Turn-On Output: The XPLOC4 provides a Remote (Blue) output wire. Connect this wire to the remote turn-on input of your aftermarket amplifier. This signal will turn on the amplifier when the head unit is active.
6. RCA Output Connections: Connect the RCA output cables from the XPLOC4 to the RCA input jacks on your aftermarket amplifier. Ensure Front Left/Right and Rear Left/Right channels are correctly matched.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

6.1 Ajuste de los niveles de ganancia

The NVX XPLOC4 features adjustable gain controls for each channel pair (Front and Rear). These controls allow you to match the output level of the XPLOC4 to the input sensitivity of your amplifier, preventing distortion and optimizing sound quality.

1. Ajuste inicial: Turn the gain adjustment screws on the XPLOC4 all the way down (counter-clockwise).
2. AmpGanancia del amplificador: Set the gain controls on your aftermarket amplifier to their minimum setting.
3. Volumen de la unidad principal: Suba el volumen de la unidad principal hasta aproximadamente el 75-80% de su nivel máximo.
4. Adjust XPLOC4 Gain: Slowly turn the gain adjustment screws on the XPLOC4 clockwise until the red LED indicator light just begins to flicker or illuminate steadily. This indicates that the signal is approaching clipping. Back off slightly until the LED is off or only flickers minimally.
5. Ajustar AmpGanancia del amplificador: Once the XPLOC4 gains are set, slowly increase the gain on your amplifier until the desired volume and sound quality are achieved without audible distortion.

The red LED indicator on the XPLOC4 serves as a clipping indicator. If it illuminates brightly or constantly, the input signal is too high, and distortion may occur. Reduce the head unit volume or the XPLOC4 gain until the LED is off or only flickers occasionally on peak notes.

7. Mantenimiento

The NVX XPLOC4 is designed for reliable operation and requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the unit is installed in a dry location, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.

• Limpieza: Utilice un paño suave y seco para limpiar el exterior de la unidad. No utilice productos químicos agresivos ni limpiadores abrasivos.
