Orion XTREME 3752 - Troubleshooting Tips

TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
SYMPTOM
Audio cycles on and off
PROBABLE CAUSE
Low or no remote turn-on input
Power wires not connected
Audio input not connected
Speaker wires not connected
Speakers are blown
Thermal protection engages
when amplifier temperature exceeds
90°C {190°F)
ACTION TO TAKE
Check remote turn-on voltage output at amplifier and
repair as needed
Check power wire integrity and check for speaker shorts.
Repair as needed and replace fuse
Check power wire and ground connections and repair or
replace as needed
Check RCA connections and repair or replace as needed
Check speaker wires and repair or replace as needed
Check system with known working speaker and repair or
replace speakers as needed
Make sure there is proper ventilation for amplifier and improve
Heatsink ventilation as needed
Loose or poor audio input
Loose power connections
Amplifier level sensitivity set too
high. Exceeding maximum
capability of amplifier
Impedance load to amplifier
Shorted speaker wires
Check RCA connections and fix or replace as needed
Check power wire and ground connections and fix or replace
as needed
Readjust gain. Refer to Adjusting the sound of the system
section of this manual for detailed instructions
Check speaker impedance load. If below 2Q stereo or 4Q mono,
too low rewire speakers to achieve a higher impedance
Check speaker wire connections and fix or replace as needed
SYMPTOM
PROBABLE CAUSE
ACTION TO TAKE
Distorted output
Poor bass response
Battery fuse blowing
Speaker not connected to properly
Internal crossover not set properly
Speakers are blown
Speakers wired with wrong
polarity causing cancellation at low frequency
Crossover set incorrectly
section of this manual for detailed Instructions
Impedance load at amplifier
Short in power wire or incorrect
power connections
Fuse used is smaller than
recommended
Check speaker wiring and fix or replace as needed. Refer to the Speaker Connections
section of this manual for detailed instruaions
Readjust crossovers. Refer to the Internal Crossover Configuration section of this manual
for detailed instructions
Check system with known working speakers and fix or replace as needed
Check speaker polarity and fix as needed
Reset crossovers. Refer to the internal crossover
Check speaker impedance load, if below 2Q stereo or AQ mono
is too low Rewire speakers to achieve a higher impedance
Check power and ground connections and fix or repair as needed
Replace with proper fuse size
Too much current being drawn
Too much current being drawn
Fuse used is smaller than
recommended
Impedance load at amplifier too low
Speaker is blown with shorted
Check speaker impedance load. If below 2Q stereo or 4Q mono,
rewire speakers to achieve a higher impedance
Check power and ground connections and replace or repair as needed
Check speaker impedance load, if below 2Q. stereo or 4Q mono, rewire speakers to achieve a high
Impedance and replace with recommended size fuse
Check power and ground connections and replace or repair as needed
Replace with proper fuse size
Check speaker impedance load, if below 2Q stereo or 4Q mono, rewire speakers to achieve c
higher impedance
Check system with known working speakers and fix or replace
outputs as needed
