AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

Standard JBL DrivePack systems are equipped with a DP multi-channel Crown Class-I power amplifier and loudspeaker specific DSP electronics and require appropriate AC power.

CAUTION: In compliance with safety agency criteria and proper system operation, it is critical that the system installer observe all electrical safety practices at all times and provide proper earth grounding for all AC Power connections.

AC POWER CORD KIT

Convenience 120VAC North America NEMA 5-15 Edison type AC plug to PowerCon® connector and 240V Europe CEE 7/7 Schuko type AC plug to PowerCon connector cord sets are provided with this JBL DrivePack product for light-duty shop testing or system configuration type use.

One spare gray Neutrik (P/N NAC3FCB) PowerCon connector is included in the AC Power Cord Set for your convenience to create a pass-through AC power cable. To create a pass-through cable the system installer may choose to simply cut off the AC plug from one of the provided AC cord sets and replace it with the provided Gray PowerCon AC Outlet connector. Follow the wiring convention indicated in Table 1.

NOTE: Tighten set screws to 2.5Nm (1.8lb-ft) torque to prevent opening by hand.

USER-FABRICATED AC POWER DISTRIBUTION

System owners may choose to fabricate or purchase a custom AC Power cable infrastructure optimized for their specific JBL DrivePack system configuration. See Table 1 for custom application wiring and connector information.

NOTE: Parts not provided.

CAUTION: Do not exceed 80% current rating of any AC connector at any time! See AC Power Rating Tables for current draw information.
