This manual will help you step by step to install and use your booster B-6 safely and properly.

chapter on safety instructions and the checklist for trouble shooting. You will then know where
to take care and how to prevent mistakes which take a lot of effort to correct.

Track
Stranded wire*, recommended cross-section:
0,75 mm² bis 1,5 mm²
(depending on current)
* The use of stranded wire is recommended for making the connections. Stranded wires
consist of several thin individual wires and are therefore more flexible than rigid wires with the
same copper cross-section.
Distribution of the booster current
In order to utilise the current of 6 A that the B-6 can provide, even with smaller nominal sizes,
a power splitter** can be used. The power splitter distributes the current to 2 to 3 booster
sections with 2 to 3 A each.
