Output Connections

1. Use RCA cables to connect the output jacks of the 3Sixty.3 to the input jacks on the ampliﬁer(s) you have selected for your system. The 3Sixty.3 will

allow you to connect up to 8 channels of output. Follow the instructions in your ampliﬁer manual for connecting the rest of your system.

NOTE: DO NOT chassis ground any of the leads as unstable operation may result & ensure to follow the diagram for proper signal polarity.

2. Based on the input circuit of your ampliﬁer, select either a balanced or unbalanced output for the 3Sixty.3 to match your ampliﬁers input. The 3Sixty.3

utilizes a special compensation network to ensure in either position the maximum output voltage is 8VRMS. For most RF ampliﬁers you are going to want

the switch positioned in the unbalanced position.

PC Software Installation

1. Insert the supplied 3Sixty.3 setup disk and follow the on screen prompts to load the software. If a prompt does not appear you will have to select the CD

ROM drive on you PC to open the 3Sixty.3 setup disk, and select the ﬁle “RF3SixtyUI.msi” and follow the on screen prompts.

NOTE: A PC is required for initial setup and adjustments for the 3Sixty.3 unit to properly work with your system. The PC must use a Windows XP, VISTA,

or 7 OS with at least one USB connection and have an internet connection.

2. The 3Sixty.3 user interface (UI) will place the RF icon on your desktop. Double click the RF icon to open the UI. In the lower right corner you will see a

prompt to update the UI if an update is available (must have a working Internet connection). If the UI is up to date you will have a green check mark in the

lower right corner and it will say “You already have the latest version” if you move your curser over it. If an update is available double clicking on it then

follow the on screen prompts to update your UI. Close the UI.

NOTE: You can also manually check for updates by moving the curser over the RF logo in the upper left hand corner and select “Check for updates” This

will ensure you have the latest UI version and 3Sixty.3 processor ﬁrmware version.

3. To check which version of UI and processor ﬁrmware you are using moving the curser over the RF logo in the upper left hand corner and select “About”.

NOTE: In order to check the version number of the 3Sixty.3 processors ﬁrmware the 3Sixty.3 processor must be connected to the PC through the USB

cable.

Connecting to a PC & Updating

NOTE: Before starting the system ensure that the volume is all the way down on the source unit, the factory or any external EQ’s are set to ﬂat, the

ampliﬁer(s) EQ is set to ﬂat and the ampliﬁer(s) gain(s) are set to minimum.

1. Connect the unit to a PC; turn the unit on by turning the key to the accessory position (3Sixty.3 LED should be white), using the supplied USB cable,

connect the 3Sixty.3 processor to the PC (3Sixty.3 LED should turn solid blue). Open the UI. To disconnect the unit, close the UI, Disconnect the USB cable

(3Sixty.3 LED should turn white), and turn off the 3Sixty.3.

NOTE: The unit must be powered on (LED should be white) before connecting to a PC or the unit will enter DEMO mode. DEMO mode allows you only

limited function of the user interface. In DEMO mode you can update your processor but you cannot read or write EQ functions.

NOTE:

The remote level control is disabled and will have no LED on while connected to the PC. The remote simulator at the top of the user interface (UI)

screen is used to preform the wired remote controllers functions while connected to a PC.

2. Update the unit; Open up the UI by double clicking the RF icon on your desk top. In the lower left corner of the UI there should be a green circle and it

should display “device connected”. The LED should switch from white to blue (ﬂashes blue when communicating). If the 3Sixty.3 processor is up to date

you will have a green check mark in the lower right corner and it will say “You already have the latest version” if you move your curser over it. If an update

is available double clicking on it then follow the on screen prompts to update your 3Sixty.3 processor.

NOTE: If the device is plugged in and the UI is still displaying “No device connected’ check that the unit is powered on, and the cable connections are

good.

NOTE: You can also manually update the 3Sixty.3 processor ﬁrmware updates by selecting the “DEVICE” tab in the upper left hand corner, then selecting

“Upgrade Firmware” from the drop down menu. Follow the on screen prompts to update your 3Sixty.3 processor.

INPUT Connections

8. There are four different input options to select from; Low Level. High Level, Optical, Aux.

Low Level (RCA)

If using the RCA inputs, connect the RCAs from the source unit into the input jacks of the 3Sixty.3.

NOTE: DO NOT chassis ground any of the leads as unstable operation may result.

NOTE: Follow the diagram for proper signal polarity.

NOTE: The 3Sixty.3 can be set up to create a 8 channel output with only 2 channels (Left and Right) of input. However, for the best sound stage, it is

strongly recommended to connect into all of the outputs from the vehicles factory system. (AUX not required). If you are not using all 8 inputs

(Front/Front2/Rear/Center/Sub) you can SUM the inputs during conﬁguration under the OEM system. Keep in mind that if

you choose to use SUM, all left channels selected will form one signal and all right channels selected will form one signal. Stereo imaging will

be maintained but your fader may cease to function depending on the channels selected to sum.

High Level

If using the high level input, solder or crimp connect the high level inputs (speaker) from the source unit into the matching connections of the 16 pin

connector for the 3Sixty.3 high level input. Insert the high level connector into the High Level Input port on the 3Sixty.3.

NOTE: Make sure to maintain signal polarity when using the high level inputs. Failure to do so may cause undesirable phasing effects and the signal

sense may not turn on the unit.

NOTE: Using both the RCA and High Level inputs will cause undesirable operation. However the AUX input can be utilized with any other input, RCA

and Optical inputs can also both be utilized at the same time.

Optical

If using the Optical input , connect the Optical output from the source unit into the Optical input of the 3Sixty.3.

NOTE: Supports stereo PCM audio (S/PDIF max 48KHz/24 bit).

AUX

If using the AUX RCA input, connect the RCA output from the sources to the AUX input of

the 3Sixty.3.

NOTE: Follow the diagram for proper signal polarity.

9. The wired remote can mounted in a variety of ways, mounting tab up or down, or the

back of the remote housing can be removed by using a small ﬂat screwdriver allowing the

remote to be ﬂush mounted.

Mounting tab installation

a) Using the supplied screws, install the mounting clip.

b) Slip the remote onto the mounting clip until it snaps into place.

c) Insert the cable into the remote.

Panel Install

a) Cut out a 2 3/16” x 3/4” hole in the panel, with a maximum panel thickness of

3/8”. Ensure there is enough room within the panel area for connection.

b) Route the cable through the hole and insert the cable into the remote.

c) Press the remote into the panel cutout until it clicks in place.

Route the cable for the remote on the signal side of the vehicle, away from any high current

wires. Insert the cable into either of RF Link ports.

10. Insert the Bluetooth dongle into the wireless port with the indexed side of the dongle

facing upwards.
