Installation
Installation
It is recommended that a professional who is skilled in all
aspects of installation and operation install the MDA5000
and any associated mobile audio equipment.
Converter Ventilation
Always provide adequate ventilation for the MDA5000 and
be sure to provide at least 1 inch clearance at the sides with
the fins.
The Digital/Analog Converter can be mounted verti-
cally or horizontally and may be located under a seat if ad-
equate clearance is available. The preferred installation
method is to mount it directly to the vehicle frame using
the hardware supplied with the MDA5000.
It is not recommended that the Digital/Analog Con-
verter be mounted under the hood or in a location where it
will be directly exposed to the elements.
Removing the Glass Panel
To access the MDA5000 Terminal Block Connections, re-
move the glass panel by removing the four hex bolts with
the supplied 3/32” hex key. See figure 1. Attach the sup-
plied suction cup to the top center of the glass panel and
carefully raise it high enough to put your hand under. Tem-
porarily place the removed glass panel in a safe place; re-
move the suction cup and save it for future use.
Removing the End Cap
To access the MDA5000 Connecting Terminal Block, re-
move the Glass Panel first (the above step) and then re-
move the Phillips Screws holding the Left Side End Cap of
the Digital/Analog Converter and lift the End Cap off. See
figure 2.
