Jumper not fitted if amplifier fitted in slot position 2 

 

J4   

Jumper not fitted if amplifier fitted in slot position 3

Jumper not fitted if amplifier fitted in slot position 4 

 

CHG 

Fitted if system includes a battery charger 

 

BATT 

Fitted if system includes back-up batteries 

 

 

 

Important Note: 

 

 

The current amplifier PowerBloc range is MPB260 (Master) and MPB261 

(Slave).  Older versions include 160, 161, 60 and 61.   When fitting 

PowerBlocs into existing power / frames ensure that different versions are 

NOT mixed.  I.E.  260 units should only be mixed with 261 units and 160 

units should only be mixed with 161 units etc.
