JP80 

– Rear Panel Power 

Connect the main power here.  It can be 8.5V – 16V DC or AC.  See 
current draw chart for power requirements. 

JP81 

– Rear Panel Fuse 

This is for an optional power fuse.  The unit is shipped with a shunt 
instead of a fuse.  If you replace the shunt with a fuse, it should be sized 
according to your power requirements. 

JP82 

– Front Panel Switch 

Connect the main power switch here.
