[Amps] JRL 2000F

[Alek Petkovic]

Hi Rick.

I just sent you a copy of the manual.

In the schematics section, on the very last page, you will see that the 
live and neutral wires connect to either of the relay input terminals. 
Any voltage from 85V to 264V will do.

In your case, that is the red and white wires. It matters not, which 
wire goes where.

Don't ground the neutral in the amp. You compromise safety.

73, Alek.
