Apollo SRX400 Marine Stereo Source

The Apollo SRX400 marine stereo source box contains the following items:

A mounting gasketA mounting templateFour #8 self-tapping screwsTwo screw capsA wiring harness for power, speakers, line-out, and subwoofer output

For optimal installation, the stereo must be mounted on a flat surface with sufficient rear airflow for heat dissipation. If the location is exposed to water, it must be mounted at less than 45 degrees from the horizontal plane. To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, install the stereo at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) away from it.

For the installation of the Apollo SRX400 marine stereo source, you will need the following tools:

A Phillips screwdriverAn electric drillA drill bit (size varies depending on the surface material and screws used)A rotary cutting tool or jigsawMarine-grade silicone sealant (optional)

No, it is strongly advised against using the stereo as a mounting template to drill holes. This could damage the glass screen and void the warranty. You must use only the included mounting template to drill the holes correctly.

If you install the stereo in an area exposed to water, you must apply marine-grade silicone sealant around the cutout on the mounting surface. Do not install the included mounting gasket if you have applied sealant, as using both could reduce water resistance.

The Fusion Apollo SRX400 marine stereo source comes with a 3-year limited warranty for marine consumers, starting from the product's purchase date.

The warranty may be void if the product has been subjected to abnormal use, unauthorized modifications or repairs, misuse, negligence, an accident, tampering, incorrect installation, water damage (spills of food or liquids), or if the serial number has been removed, damaged, or altered. Using accessories not supplied by Fusion or unsuitable for the product also voids the warranty.

If you install the stereo on a metal-hulled boat, you must use a ground-dependent antenna. If the boat has a non-metallic hull, you must use a ground-independent antenna.

Yes, the Apollo SRX400 stereo source can connect to a Fusion stereo or a Fusion PartyBus™ network.

To power the unit without an ignition switch, the yellow and red wires must be connected together to a power source via a 15 A circuit breaker or a manual switch. A 1 A fuse must be installed on the red wire before this connection. The stereo will then remain powered on continuously, and you will use the stereo's power button to put it in standby mode.

A 15 A fuse (not included) is required for the main power yellow wire if a 15 A circuit breaker is not available on the vessel. A 1 A fuse (not included) is required for the red ignition wire, whether connected to the ignition or a manual switch.

The blue wire is the power on/off output for the amplifier. It connects to an optional external amplifier to turn it on when the stereo is powered on. The connected amplifier must share the same ground (-) with the stereo for this signal wire to function properly.

The orange 'Dim' wire connects to the boat's lighting circuit to dim the stereo display when the boat lights are on. The lighting wire gauge must match the fuse rating of the circuit it is connected to.

The Apollo SRX400 stereo has line-outs (left and right) labeled ZONE 1 LINE OUT, which provide an output to an external amplifier and are tied to the volume control for Zone 1. It also features a subwoofer output (SUB OUT) that delivers a single mono output to a powered subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier, also linked to the Zone 1 volume control.

Yellow wire (power +): 14 AWG (2.08 mm²) for standard extensions. For extensions over 1 m (3 ft), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²). Red wire (ignition): 22 AWG (0.33 mm²). Black wire (ground -): 14 AWG (2.08 mm²) for standard extensions. For extensions over 1 m (3 ft), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²).

When the stereo is turned off via the ignition switch or the power button, it enters standby mode, allowing for faster startup. In standby mode, the stereo consumes up to 200 mA. To prevent battery drain during vessel storage, it is recommended to cut power via the circuit breaker or the manual switch on the yellow wire.

Yes, the Apollo SRX400 stereo can be connected to an external amplifier via its line outputs (ZONE 1 LINE OUT). The blue 'Amplifier on' wire in the wiring harness allows the amplifier to power on simultaneously with the stereo.

Yes, before powering this product, ensure it has been properly grounded according to the instructions. The black wire is the ground wire and must be connected to the negative terminal of the power source or to a common ground.

Be extremely careful when cutting the mounting hole. There is only a small margin between the housing and the mounting holes. A hole that is too large could compromise the stability of the stereo once installed.

Yes, the Fusion Apollo SRX400 is specifically designed for the marine environment, integrating advanced audio features suited for this use.
