Installation notes:
All EMG Pickups are compatible with each other. The connector system is an easy method ofinstallation, avoiding the need to solder. EMG accessories like the VLPF, EXG, SPC or RPC Controls can be added to any EMG Pickup System without the need for an extra battery. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES: 1) Only one 9-Volt battery is required to power the pickups and any accessories such as the SPC, RPC, EXG, AB, PA-2, and Pi-2. Use an Alkaline or Lithium battery for longest life. 2) The Volumeand Tone Controls included with this EMG System are 25K Ohm. This value is required for the system to work correctly. 3) A stereo output jack (12B) is included with the EMG Pickups; it grounds the black battery wire to turn on the pickups when the plug is inserted into the jack. If you are replacing passive pickups, make sure to use the jack included. If your guitar has a long panel jack (see Page3, bottom), make sure it is a stereo type, a Switchcraft 152B is recommended. 4) When installing EMG Active Pickups, DO NOT connect the bridge ground wire. This wire is usually soldered to a Volume or Tone Control casing and goes to the bridge. This wire grounds the strings and uses them and your body as a shield against hum and buzz. It also creates a shock hazard. EMG Pickups are shieldedinternally and DO NOT require string grounding. This greatly reduces the possibility of reverse polarity shock from microphones and other equipment. 5) EMG Active Pickups have very little magnetism compared to passive pickups. We recommend you adjust the pickups as close to the strings as possible. Sustain and string movement will not be inhibited by close adjustment. 6) If your installation isdifferent from the diagrams in these instructions or you need additional diagrams visit our website: emgpickups.com for a complete listing of available diagrams. 7) SPECIAL NOTE: The diagrams shown are for EMG Active Pickups. All diagrams show the Red Wire coming from the pickups connected to the battery. If you are installing EMG-HZ Passive Pickups refer to their diagrams. The Red Wire of the HZ Pickupis NOT for battery power, it is a coil wire.
