Line Voltage Selection:
DrivePack DPC-2 amplifier models feature a user-configurable dual-voltage
international power supply and is easily set to the appropriate local AC Power Mains voltage supply. A 2-way
slide switch is provided to select 100-120VAC or 200-240VAC operation, 50/60Hz.
Before you set up your VRX900 Powered series speaker for the first time, verify that the line voltage selector
setting is appropriate for the AC Mains supply voltage in your area. Applying 230 VAC to the DPC-2 with the unit
set to 115V can cause serious damage.
CHANGING THE AC MAINS SUPPLY VOLTAGE SETTING
• Make sure that the speaker is powered off and the AC power cable is disconnected from the speaker.
• Locate the voltage selector switch next to the blue PowerCon connector on the main control panel.
• Slide the voltage selector switch to 115V for (100-120V~) or 230V for (220-240V~) range setting as
required for your area.
• After having reconfirmed that the correct voltage is selected, reconnect the blue AC Line Input
PowerCon connector and power the unit up.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE WRONG VOLTAGE SELECTED.
DOING SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH WILL NOT BE
COVERED BY WARRANTY.
Line Voltage Tolerance:
The amp will operate normally (with expected de-rating in power output during low line
conditions) over a range of 100-/-10% or 200-/-10% AC input voltage. The amp will shut
down for voltages below nominal line and self protect for over-voltage beyond 15% nominal line.
CAUTION:
Continuous voltages 10% beyond high line at either 120VAC or 240VAC operation ranges can
disrupt performance of the JBL DrivePack! To avoid activation of amplifier low line/ high line
protection which will interrupt audio performance, the system operator should maintain AC
supply voltages within the rated voltage windows.
