AMPLIFIER CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS 1. Power LED - when lit indicates that the amplifier is on. 2. Stereo/Mono Switch - configures the amplifier for one or two inputs. 3. High-Level Input Connector - accepts input from head unit's speaker output. 4.
AMPLIFIER SETTINGS Stereo / Mono Input Configuration The STEREO / MONO switch allows the Orion 2002 and 3002 amplifiers to use a single RCA or high-level input to feed signal to both the right and left channels of the amplifier . When the switch is to the right (MONO position), signal from the left input is routed to the right channel.
High-Pass Crossover When the switch is to the left (FULL position), the high-pass crossover is bypassed. When the switch is in the middle (HIGH position), the high-pass crossover is active. The high-pass crossover is continuously variable from 20Hz to 3kHz.
AMPLIFIER WIRING Power Connections ● Orion 2002 Fuse Size: (1) 25 AMP ● Orion 3002 Fuse Size: (1) 30 AMP ● Minimum 8 AWG power and ground cable is recommended for acceptable per- formance. ● Fuse power wire prior to wire passing through panels or near sharp edges and less than 18" from battery .
Summed Bridged Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 4 W bridged mono. ● Mono or stereo input can be used for this configuration. ● Outputs can be configured for high-pass, low-pass, or full range operation. ● Output is configured as summed bridged which is ideal for subwoofer applications.
T ri-Mode Three Channel Configuration ● Lowest recommended impedance is 2 W stereo and 4 W bridged mono. ● Stereo operation must be used. ● Outputs must be configured for full range operation ● Output is configured stereo and summed bridged. ● Passive crossover frequencies must not overlap.
amplifier with as much clearance as possible. This type of mounting will yield the best cool- ing due to the convection effect of the amplifier chassis.
● Pliers (standard and needle nose) ● Reference CD with 1 kHz Sine Wave at 0dB level (all bits high) ● RT A (real time analyzer) ● Soldering iron and solder ● Utility knife ● Wire brush or.
SET UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING T esting the System After you have completed the installation, you need to test the system. This will help ensure years of trouble-free operation. Please refer to the listed steps below when testing the sound of your Orion system.
Step 6 T urn up the level control corresponding to the tweeter output until you hear slight distortion and turn back the level control slightly for an undistorted output. Depending on your system the midrange and tweeter output may be on the same output channels.
T roubleshooting Tips Symptom Probable Cause Action T o T ake No output Low or no remote turn-on Check remote turn-on voltage at voltage amplifier and repair as needed. Fuse blown Check power wire's integrity and check for speaker shorts. Fix as needed and replace fuse.
Symptom Probable Cause Action T o T ake Distorted output Internal crossover not set Readjust crossovers. Refer to the properly for speakers Internal Crossover Configuration section of this guide for detailed instructions. Speakers are blown Check system with known work ing speakers and fix or replace as needed.
