The Punch Status Display is an LED array which monitors amplifier  
performance. The PSD is a 2-channel monitor which has an indicator  
for Power, three indicators for Signal Level (sig-max-clip), and an  
indicator for Thermal condition. The display is designed to be  
stackable for multiple amplifier monitoring and can be used with  
compatible Rockford Fosgate stereo and mono amplifiers.  
We recommend you have your Authorized Rockford Fosgate Dealer  
install your new accessory. If you do choose to install the accessory  
yourself, please be sure to read the entire manual before beginning.

1. POWER Indicator – The POWER LED will illuminate when the  
amplifier turns on.  
2. SIGNAL Indicator – The SIGNAL LED will illuminate when audio  
signal is present at the amplifier.  
3. MAX Indicator – The MAX LED will illuminate when the audio signal  
has reached its maximum amplified level (approximately –2dB from  
clip).  
4. CLIP Indicator – The CLIP LED will illuminate when the audio signal  
has exceeded (clipped) its maximum amplified level.  
5. THERMAL Indicator – The THERMAL LED will illuminate when a  
fault is detected by the protection circuitry in the amplifier's power  
supply. The power supply protection circuitry monitors overvoltage,  
undervoltage and thermal conditions.  
6. Data Interface Jacks – The RJ45 interface provides a convenient  
connection for the data interface cable.  
7. Remote/Dimmer Connector – The mini 2-pin connector provides a  
convenient connection for Remote Turn-On and Dimmer input.

The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the PSD:  
Battery Post Wrench  
#1 Phillips Screwdriver  
Soldering Iron (optional)  
Solder (optional)  
Wire Strippers (optional)  
Heat Gun (optional)  
1/8" diameter heat shrink tubing (optional)  
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing  
your new PSD. Pre-planning your layout and best wiring routes will save  
installation time.  
1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to  
beginning the installation.  
2. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting  
your Punch Status Display.  
3. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into vacuum lines  
or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.  
4. Neverrun wiresunderneath the vehicle. Runningthe wiresinside the  
vehicle provides the best protection.  
5. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or  
plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal.  
6. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with  
proper fusing. Be sure the Remote and Dimmer wires are connected  
to an appropriately fused electrical system.

MO UNTING LO CATIO NS  
The Punch Status Display can be installed in a wide range of operating  
locations. However, care should be taken to ensure optimum monitoring  
without causing distractions under normal driving conditions. Listed  
below are the following options for installation.  
Engine Compartment  
Mounting the Punch Status Display in the engine compartment will void  
your warranty. We didn't think you would actually install the PSD in the  
engine compartment. We just wanted to make sure you were paying  
attention to the installation instructions.  
Instrument Panel  
Mounting the Punch Status Display in the instrument panel provides  
optimum monitoring. The PSD should be securely mounted using the  
“Standard Mount” or “ISO Mount” method.  
Center Console  
Mounting the Punch Status Display in the center console panel provides  
optimum monitoring. The PSD should be securely mounted using the  
“Standard Mount” or “ISO Mount” method.  
Glove Box  
Mountingthe Punch StatusDisplay in the glove boxisadequate, butdoes  
not provide easy monitoring. Glove Box mounting should only be done  
if “Instrument Panel” or “Center Console” mounting are not acceptable  
(i.e., maintaining integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards).  
Under Dash  
Mounting the Punch Status Display under the dash is adequate, but does  
not provide easy monitoring. Under dash mounting should only be done  
if “Instrument Panel,” “Center Console” or “Glove Box” mounting are not  
possible. Mount the PSD to the side of the driver's area to reduce  
interference with the parking brake, gear shift or operating pedals.

W I R I N G T H E SYST E M  
For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the car battery prior to  
beginning the installation.  
1. Route the Data Interface Cable inside the vehicle to provide the best  
protection. Leave slack at each end of the cable for the connection of  
the PSD and amplifier.  
2. Configure the Stereo/Mono Jumpersbyremovingthe two Phillipsscrews  
from each side of the PSD that hold the sheet metal top in place. Remove  
the sheet metal and locate the Stereo/Mono jumpers on the PC board. To  
accept a Stereo amplifier input, both jumpers should be INSTALLED on  
the jumper pins. To accept a Mono or pair of Mono amplifier inputs, both  
jumpers should be REMOVED from the jumper pins.  
3. Configure the Remote Jumper located on the PC board. The position  
of this jumper determines whether the PSD is controlled by the  
amplifier or separately. When INSTALLED, the Remote Turn-On wire  
isdisabled and the amplifierwillautomaticallyturn on the PSD. When  
the jumper is REMOVED, the Remote Turn-On wire is enabled and the  
PSD is controlled by an optional switch. Determine which method is  
preferableforyourparticularapplication. NOTE:TheRemoteJumpermust  
2
be enabled when using a Power 250m , Power 500m or Power 250m.  
4. When connecting the Remote/Dimmer Harness leads to the electrical  
system, solder and heat shrink all connections for a reliable installa-  
tion. Foreach connection, cuta 1"piece ofheatshrinktubingand slide  
over one of the wires. Strip each wire 3/8", then twist together and  
solder. Slide the tubing over the connection and shrink the tubing with  
a hot air gun until no bare wire is exposed.  
The Remote Turn-On (Blue) lead should be connected (when Remote  
Jumper is enabled) to the remote turn-on or power antenna output  
from the source unit. An in-line switch may be used if you would like  
to disable the PSD during operation.  
The Dimmer (Orange) lead should be connected to the park light”  
or to a switched +12 volt source when the headlights are turned on.  
5. Adjust system gains prior to installing the Punch Status Display  
Although the PSD does monitor the output signal from the amplifier  
it is not designed as a replacement for an oscilloscope or other  
specialized test equipment.  
6. Plug in the Data Interace Cable and Remote/Dimmer Harness into  
the rear of the PSD and check for frayed wires or loose connections.

2. Configure el Remote Jumper situado en la placa PC. La posición de  
éste jumper determina si el PSD está controlado por el amplificador  
o independientemente. Si está colocado, el cable de encendido  
remoto es activado y el PSD es controlado por un interruptor  
separado. Determine que método prefiere particularmente. NOTA:  
El jumper de Remote debe estar colocado cuando use usted un  
2
Power 250m , un Power 500m o un Power 250m.  
3. El cable del encendido remoto (Azul) debe estar conectado (cuando  
el jumper de remoto también está conectado) al encendido remoto  
o a la salida de alimentación de la antena de su unidad fuente. Debe  
utilizar un interruptor en la própia linea o cable si quiere desactivar  
el PSD.  
4. El cable de Dimmer (Naranja) debe estar conectado a las luces de  
posicióno a una fuente que entregue +12 voltios cuando los faros  
sean encendidos.  
5. Ajuste las ganancias del sistema antes de instalar el visualizador del  
estado de Punch.  
Aunque el PSD permita monitorizar la señal del amplificador, no está  
diseñado para recemplazar un osciloscópio u otro aparato de test  
especializado.

BRANCH EMENT DU SYSTÈME  
Pour votre sécurité, déconnectez la borne négative de la batterie avant  
de commencer l'installation.  
1. Faire passer le cable d'interface dans le véhicule de manière à le  
protéger au maximum. Laisser du mou à chaque extrémité du cable  
afin de connecter le PSD et l'amplificateur.  
2. Configurer le pontage (Remote Jumper) situé sur le circuit imprimé.  
La position de ce jumper détermine si le PSD est contrôlé par  
l'amplificateur ou séparément. Lorsque le jumper est installé, le fil  
de commande est désactivé et l' amplificateur allume  
automatiquement le PSD. Lorsque le jumper est enlevé, le fil de  
commande d'allumage est activé et le PSD est contrôlé par un  
interrupteur séparé. C'est à vous de déterminer quelle méthode  
d'allumage du PSD convient le mieux à votre application. NOTE:Le  
jumper d'allumage doit être enlevé lorsque le PSD est raccordé à  
2
un Power 250m , Power 500m ou Power 250m.  
3. Lorsque le jumper de commande estenlevé, le fil(bleu)de commande  
d'allumage doit être connecté au fil de commande de l'antenne  
électrique de l'autoradio. Il est possible d'installer un interrupteur  
sur ce fil si vous désirez éteindre le PSD.  
4. Le fil (orange) du dimmer peut être connecté aux feux de position  
ou à un fil fournissant un 12 volts positif lorsque les phares sont  
allumés.  
5. Ajustez les gains AVANT d'installer le Punch Status Display (PSD).  
Bien que le PSD contrôle le signal de sortie de l'amplificateur il n'est  
pas conçu pour remplacer un oscilloscope ou tout autre appareil de  
test spécialisé.

CABLARE IL SISTEM A  
Per motivi di sicurezza, disconnettere il cavo negativo dalla batteria  
prima di iniziare l'installazione.  
1. Passare il cavo di interfaccia dati all'interno dell'auto con il percorso  
che permette la massima protezione. Lasciare un podi cavo in ecesso  
ad ogni estremitá del cavo per permettere la connessione  
all'amplifciatore e al PSD.  
2. Configurare i ponticelli del consenso che sono positionati sul circuito  
stampato. La posizione di questi ponticelli determina se il PSD sará  
controllato dagliamplificatorio meno. Quando ilponticello é installato,  
il cavo di consenso é disabilitato e gli amplificatori accendono  
automaticamente il PSD. Quando il ponticello é rimosso, il lcavo di  
consenso é abilitato e il PSD é controllato da un interruttore esterno.  
Decidete quale configurazione é preferibile per la vostra  
configurazione. NOTA: Il ponticello non deve essere installato  
2
quando si impiegano il Power 250m , il Power 500m ed il Power  
250m.  
3. Il cavo di consenso dell'accensione (blu) deve essere collegato  
(quando il ponticello del consenso é stato rimosso) al cavo id  
accensione degli amplificatori o dell'antenna elettrica proveniente  
dall'autoradio É possibile inserire un interruttore supplementare per  
disabilitare il PSD.  
4. Il cavo dell'illuminazione (anarncione) deve essere collegato alle luci  
di posizione o ad una alimentazione +12 volt presente con le luci  
accese.  
5. Regolate i livelli del sistema prima di installare il PSD, che, anche se  
monitorizza ilsegnale diuscita dell'amplificatore, non é stato progettato  
per sostituire oscilloscopi o altri strumenti di misura.
