Q8-USB. Finally, connect the free end to the VoltPAQ- X2/X4. To enable the VoltPAQ-X2/X4 using a Q8-USB (version 2 or earlier), write a logic 1 to the respective digital output channels 0-3. For example, writing a logic 1 to digital output 0 will enable amplifier channel 0. - Page 12 Figure 9: Backside of VoltPAQ-X4 has 4 fuses. There is one fuse per channel. So, for example, in the VoltPAQ-X2, there are 2 fuses. If your voltage input is 100-132 VAC use the following fuses: Slow Blow 1.5A – Digikey part number F2551-ND.
