ACR-3 Dash Control Installation
The optional AudioControl ACR-3
dash control is a dual-function remote
for your DM-608/DM-810. It may be
mounted under the dash using its own
bracket, or through a custom hole in
the dash. The endless knob should
be within reach of the driver, and in a
spot where the two LEDs are plainly
visible. Disconnect the vehicle battery
+12V and Ground connections before
installation.
Dash Bracket Installation: The dash control mounts with two screws,
which attach to the underside of the dashboard. Slide under the
dash and place the dash control in its mounting position, mark
the two best mounting holes, carefully drill pilot holes without
damaging any under-dash wiring, and secure with two screws.
Custom Installation: For that custom, nished look, the dash control
can be ush mounted directly on the dash-board (or anywhere
else). Disassemble the dash control from the mounting bracket.
Drill a 9/32” (7 mm) hole in the dashboard for the control along
with a 3/32” (2.3 mm) hole for the lock tab and a 1/8” (3 mm)
hole(s) for the LED holder. Reassemble the dash control compo-
nents on the dashboard.
1. When the left (blue) LED is on, turn the remote knob clockwise to
turn the level up, and counterclockwise to turn it down. As it is an
endless knob, turning it more than one turn clockwise would be
maximum, and more than one turn counter-clockwise is mini-
mum.
2. To recall a memory preset with the ACR-3, press the knob in to
switch from blue mode (volume control) to red mode (preset
recall). If, within two seconds, you turn the knob clockwise one
click, it will recall one preset higher than you are currently operat-
ing. If, within two seconds, you turn the knob counter-clockwise,
it will recall one preset lower than you are currently operating (for
example, to change from Memory 2 to Memory 1).
There is no ‘wrapping’ to the knob, that is, turning the knob clock-
wise from Memory 4 will only recall Memory 4 and not conjure
up a 5 or a 1. Once a preset memory has been selected, or two
seconds have passed, the red LED will blink to show you the num-
ber of the preset you are recalling, then return to the blue (volume
control) mode. The operation of the ACR-3 as a level control can
be turned on or o in the Output View section of the computer
display, see page 31.
