WIRING THE SYSTEM
For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to
beginning the installation.
1. Route the Data Interface Cable inside the vehicle to provide the best
protection. Leave slack at each end of the cable for the connection of
the PSD and amplifier.
2. ConfiguretheStereo/MonoJumpersbyremovingthetwoPhillipsscrews

accept a Stereo amplifier input, both jumpers should be INSTALLED on
thejumperpins.ToacceptaMonoorpairofMonoamplifierinputs,both
jumpers should be REMOVED from the jumper pins.
3. Configure the Remote Jumper located on the PC board. The position
of this jumper determines whether the PSD is controlled by the
amplifierorseparately.WhenINSTALLED,theRemoteTurn-Onwire

TheRemoteTurn-On(Blue)leadshouldbeconnected(whenRemote
Jumper is enabled) to the remote turn-on or power antenna output
from the source unit. An in-line switch may be used if you would like
to disable the PSD during operation.
The Dimmer (Orange) lead should be connected to the “park light”
or to a switched +12 volt source when the headlights are turned on.
5. Adjust system gains
prior
to installing the Punch Status Display
Although the PSD does monitor the output signal from the amplifier
it is not designed as a replacement for an oscilloscope or other
specialized test equipment.
6. Plug in the Data Interace Cable and Remote/Dimmer Harness into
the rear of the PSD and check for frayed wires or loose connections.
