Staub Electronics EA-MR-AW-RVC-100 EPISODE ALL-WEATHER IMPEDANCE MATCHING VOLUME CONTROL - Manual (Page 2)

Wiring and Installation
1. Determine the minimum operating impedance of the amplifier to
be used in the installation. This information should be in the amplifier
owner’s manual. Using the speaker chart below, choose the proper position
for the impedance matching switch (see Fig. 1) and put the switch in the
correct position.
2. The EA-MR-AW-RVC-100 has detachable connector blocks to which the
amplifier and speaker wires should be connected. When connecting the
speaker leads from the amplifier outputs to the volume control’s green
input connector block, strip approximately 1/8 inch of insulation from the
wire and twist or solder it so that there are no loose strands. Insert the wires
from the amplifiers outputs into the volume control connector block inputs.

Note: Wires should stay consistent: right + from the amplifier to right + on the input
side of the connecting block. Most speaker wire has some form of identification such
as raised ribs or color coding to help determine positive and negative
connections. Connect the speakers to the black output connector block following the
same format as above. When the wires are connected to the blocks, plug them back
into the volume control input and output. Do not apply undue pressure while
plugging it into the socket. Make sure the plug is engaged in the socket
properly and is not loose.
Note: Volume controls need to see a minimum 4 Ohm impedance on the output side
of the transformer in order for settings to appropriately protect the amplifier.
Caution: Do not reverse the input and output connections, or serious damage
may occur to the amplifier.
