Clarion APA524I
INSTALLATION
Wiring Precautions (Continued)
Caution: Clarion's Antenna/Amp output is restricted to 500 mA (MAXIMUM).
Do not replace the 0.5 A fuse with a higher value or you will damage
the unit. If more current is required when installing multiple amplifiers,
use this relay circuit.

♦ When replacing any of the amplifier’s fuses, always use one having the
same current rating. Substituting a higher-rated fuse can reduce
protection and may result in serious damage to the amplifier. 1
♦ Make sure that your vehicle’s electrical system (i.e., alternator, battery,
etc.) is capable of handling the additional load. If you are planning a
multi-amplifier system, you may need to add a second battery and
possibly upgrade the alternator with a higher-output-rated model.
Consult your authorized Clarion dealer for recommendations.
