GLADEN HTL 10 High Performance High/Low Converter User Manual

1. Pengenalan

The GLADEN HTL 10 is a high-performance high/low converter designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers into car audio systems that lack dedicated line-level outputs. This device converts high-level (speaker-level) audio signals from your vehicle's head unit or factory amplifier into low-level (RCA) signals suitable for an external amplifier. It features galvanic separation to prevent ground loops and RF interference, ensuring a clean audio signal. Additionally, it can generate a remote turn-on signal via BTL detection or an external signal, simplifying amppemasangan liifier.

• RCA L/R Output: Two RCA jacks (Left and Right) that provide the converted low-level audio signal to your aftermarket amplebih hidup.
• Remote Generation Switch/Feature: Allows for automatic remote turn-on of an amplifier via BTL (Bridge-Tied Load) detection from the speaker signal or an external remote signal.

5. Persediaan

Follow these steps for proper installation of your GLADEN HTL 10 converter:

1. Putuskan Sambungan Bateri: Before starting, disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery.
2. Kenal pasti wayar pembesar suara: Locate the speaker output wires from your vehicle's head unit or factory amplifier. Identify the positive and negative wires for the channels you intend to use (e.g., front left, front right).
3. Connect Speaker Inputs: Connect the identified speaker wires to the corresponding inputs on the GLADEN HTL 10's Speaker Input + Power connector. Ensure correct polarity.
4. Sambungkan Kuasa: Provide a fused 12V constant power connection and a ground connection to the appropriate pins on the Speaker Input + Power connector. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the product for specific pin assignments.
5. Sambungkan Output RCA: Connect standard RCA cables from the HTL 10's L/R Output jacks to the RCA inputs of your aftermarket amplebih hidup.
6. Remote Turn-On (Optional):
   • BTL Detection: The HTL 10 can automatically generate a remote turn-on signal when it detects an audio signal on its speaker inputs. Connect the remote output wire from the HTL 10 to your amplifier's remote turn-on input.
   • External Remote: If preferred, you can use an external 12V remote signal to trigger the HTL 10's remote output. Connect this external signal to the designated remote input on the HTL 10's connector.
7. Pemasangan selamat: Mount the GLADEN HTL 10 securely in a dry, accessible location, away from excessive heat or moving parts.
8. Sambung semula Bateri: Once all connections are made and verified, reconnect the vehicle's battery.

6. Beroperasi

The GLADEN HTL 10 operates automatically once correctly installed and powered. When the vehicle's audio system is turned on, the converter will detect the high-level audio signal, convert it to a low-level RCA signal, and, if configured, activate the remote turn-on output for your amplifier. No further user interaction is typically required for its basic function.

7. Penyelenggaraan

The GLADEN HTL 10 is designed for reliable, maintenance-free operation. To ensure its longevity:

• Pastikan peranti bersih dan bebas daripada habuk dan serpihan. Gunakan kain lembut dan kering untuk pembersihan.

• Jangan cuba membuka casing, as this may void the warranty and could damage internal components.

8. Penyelesaian masalah

Tiada Bunyi daripada Amplebih hidup:

• Semak Kuasa: Ensure the HTL 10 is receiving proper 12V power and ground connections.
• Verify Speaker Inputs: Confirm that the high-level speaker inputs are correctly connected to the HTL 10 and that the source unit is producing sound.
• Sambungan RCA: Check that the RCA cables are securely connected between the HTL 10 and the amplebih hidup.
• Amplifier Remote: Memastikan amplifier is turning on. Verify the remote turn-on signal from the HTL 10 is reaching the amplebih hidup.

Noise or Hum in Audio:

• Pembumian: Ensure all ground connections for the HTL 10 and the amplifier are solid and free from corrosion.
• Galvanic Separation: The HTL 10's galvanic separation feature is designed to prevent ground loops. If noise persists, re-check all wiring for proper insulation and routing away from power cables.
• Gangguan: Ensure RCA cables are not routed parallel to power cables, which can induce noise.
