This wire MUST be connected to the instrument’s common ground connection, usually on the back of a control. Bare ground wires must not touch other connections or terminals. Pickup models that are not supplied with a separate ground wire do not require one.  \n• If you have purchased our pickup to replace one that is currently in your guitar, remove your old pickup carefully. Installing your new pickup will be much easier if you unsolder your original pickup cleanly, rather than cut its wires. Make a note of exactly where the old pickup was connected as, in most cases, the new one will connect to the same points.  \n• Use a soldering iron with a fine tip (25 to 45 watts) and thin rosin core solder for all connections.  \n• If you intend to use a miniature switch with the pickup, try to beas clean as possible with the solder connections to avoid short circuits or damage to the switch. DiMarzio® offers two Push/ Pull Potentiometers, the EP1200PP (250K) and the EP1201PP (500K) with double-pole, double-throw miniature switches built in. The switches perform exactly like separate miniature switches, and we recommend them in situations where you do not want to drill extra holes in the face or pickguard of your instrument.  \nStandard Series Hum Canceling Wiring  \nIMPORTANT: Although other brands of pickups may have the same color wires as DiMarzio®, the connections are not necessarily the same. For our pickup to function properly, you  \nmust follow these instructions. The wires on all DiMarzio® hum canceling models are red, black, green, and white. The actual arrangement of the coils is shown at right.  \nBLACK WHITE  \nTOP BOTTOM  \nCOIL COIL  \nRED GREEN  \nThe BLACK and WHITE wires of some models have already been soldered together for you. This connects the two coils in hum canceling series mode, which is the standard operating mode for all of these models. If your pickup came with long black and white wires and you intend to use the pickup only in standard mode, you should cut the leads to a length of 2-3” (5-7cm) and carefully strip 1/4”(5 mm) of insulation from the ends. NOTE: Do not tug on the wire when you strip it; this could damage the pickup. If you might want to do coil splitting or other wiring options at some future time, leave the black and white wires full length. Twist the stripped ends of the BLACK and WHITE wires together, solder and insulate the connection so it does not touch any other part of the circuit. Solder the RED wire to the hot connection in the guitar’s circuit. In most cases where you are replacing a pickup, the RED wire will be soldered to the same place as the hot wire of the original pickup. The GREEN wire is soldered to ground. This ground connection is usually made to the back of a control.  \nIf you install this pickup in a guitar with other pickups and find the pickups to be out of phase when they are played together, solder the RED wire to ground, and the GREEN wire to hot.  \nParallel Wiring  \nBecause of the way these models are constructed, parallel (dual sound) wiring is not a useful option and is not recommended. Single-Coil Switching (Coil Splitting)  \nSingle-coil mode will produce a slightly brighter and louder sound than series hum canceling mode, as long as the coil closest to the strings (the one with red and black wires) remains on. Single  \ncoil mode is not hum canceling. We do not recommend using the bottom coil by itself under any circumstances, because the sound will be extremely weak.  \nTo turn the bottom coil off, you can use the same type DPDT switch as is used for phase switching, a si","cbCaimkR0aDCK3VG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimkR0aDCK3VG","pdf",44770,"English","# General Instructions\n## Standard Series Hum Canceling Wiring\n## Parallel Wiring\n## Single-Coil Switching (Coil Splitting)\n## Phase Switch\n## Component Values\n## Treble Compensation","[{\"question\":\"When should a professional be used for pickup installation?\",\"answer\":\"If you have no previous wiring experience or feel uncertain how to proceed, the document recommends having a professional perform the pickup installation.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you connect ground and hot wires for standard hum-canceling models?\",\"answer\":\"Bare or gray ground wires must connect to the instrument’s common ground, usually the back of a control.
