Frequently Asked Questions - KAC-210MR KENWOOD

What is the power of the KAC-210MR amplifier?

The maximum power is 200 W. The signal-to-noise ratio is 85 dB.

What supply voltage is required?

The device operates on a voltage of 14.4 V DC (range 10.5 to 16 V). Ensure the battery provides a negative ground.

How to connect the amplifier to the battery?

Connect the black ground wire directly to a negative ground point on the chassis with a screw. Never turn on the device without this connection, as it may cause damage.

What fuse to use for the KAC-210MR?

Use two fuses of 5 A each. Never replace with a higher rating fuse, as this could cause a fire.

Can I use 2 ohm speakers?

The minimum output impedance is 3 Ω (1.5 Ω + 1.5 Ω) for a dual voice coil configuration. For lower impedance, consult the manual.

How to clean the amplifier?

Use a soft dry cloth. Never use gasoline, petroleum, or solvent.

Where to install the amplifier in the car?

Choose a stable location, protected from dust and allowing good heat dissipation. Do not place anything on top after installation.

What to do if the fuse blows?

First disconnect the battery, check for short circuit in the wiring, then replace the fuse with a new 5 A one.

Can I connect speakers directly to the RCA inputs?

No, the RCA inputs are for audio sources. Connect speakers to the dedicated speaker terminals. Never connect both input types simultaneously.

WARNING

• Before mounting or wiring etc., be sure to remove the wire from the battery minus terminal. (Not doing so can cause shorts or fires.)
• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires with a 0.75mm^2 (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the speaker.
• Abnormal smell – In the event the unit generates smoke or abnormal smell, immediately switch the power OFF. After this, please contact your dealer or nearest service station as soon as possible.
• Power supply voltage - Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power supply with a negative ground connection.
• Modification - Do not attempt to open or modify the unit, for this could cause fire hazard or malfunction.
• Suffocation - After taking the unit out of the polyethylene bag, be sure to dispose of the polyethylene bag out of the reach of children. Otherwise, they may play with the bag, which could cause hazard of suffocation.

FCC WARNING

This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made.

CAUTION

• Dust and unstable locations - Do not install the speakers in unstable locations or locations subject to dust.
• If the fuse blows, after checking to see if the wiring cord has shorted, be sure to replace with the stipulated size (amperage) fuse as displayed on the fuse box.

(Using fuses other than the stipulated size can cause fires.)

To replace the fuse, refer to the vessel instruction manual.

• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness at first.
• Do not use gasoline, naphtha, or any type of solvent to clean the speaker. Clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
• Connect the speaker input wires to appropriate speaker connectors separately. Sharing the negative wire of the speaker or grounding speaker wires to the metal body of the car can cause this unit to fail.
• Do not connect cables and leads to both RCA cable input jacks and the speaker input terminals simultaneously, for this may cause malfunction or damage.
• When making a hole in the vessel, check that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, or wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.
• For ground wire mounting, do not fasten the wire to an steering or other critical safety unit bolts or nut.

(Can cause accidents.)

• When mounting, be sure to mount in a place that will not interfere with driving or be dangerous to passengers during sudden movement etc. (Cause of injury or accidents.)
• After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the turn signal lamps and gauges operate normally.

Caution

• Connect the black lead wire ground terminal directly with a screw to a negative ground point of the vessel. Turning the power ON without connecting this terminal is linked to damage of the stereo system. Be sure to connect it.

Also, painted metal panels etc., are not grounded and will not function correctly. Be careful.
