Installation notes:
The connector system allows an easy method of interchanging pickups. The SRO 5-Wire Cable and wire legend are compatible with all other
EMG-HZ Pickups, so any EMG-HZ Passive Pickup can be installed with any other EMG-HZ Pickup. The 5-Wire cable allows Series/Parallel switching
or simple single/dual-coil combinations can be used. For more information go to http://www.emgpickups.com.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Red Wire of the HZ Pickup is NOT for battery power, it is a coil wire.
Warranty
All EMG Pickups and accessories are warranted for a period of two years. This warranty does not cover failure due to improper installation, abuse or damage. If
upon examination the pickup is determined to be defective, a replacement will be made. Warranty replacement products are covered by this same warranty. This
warranty covers only those pickups and accessories sold by authorized EMG Dealers. This warranty is not transferable.

Installation Instructions:
EMG Models: TB-HZ
General Notes:
Diagram #1 shows the installation of the Pickup Cable.
Be sure to install it with the terminals as shown in the diagram.
Diagram #2 shows the Pickup cable itself. The cable is pre- wired
as shown for “Series” wiring typical of Humbucking Pickups.
If you wish to reverse the phase of the signal refer to Diagram #3.
Send the Red wire to ground with the Shield and use the Green wire
for output. In both cases the Black and White wires are hooked together
and covered with an insulator.

Attaching the bridge ground wire
6) Refer to Diagram #5
As mentioned on page 1, it is common to “ground” (earth)
the strings on guitars that have passive pickups.
Included with the system is a black wire with a single black
connector attached. Also included is an IDC connector for
connecting the two wires together. Insert the bridge ground wire,
and the connector wire into the IDC connector, crimp the connector
with a pair of pliers until it snaps and this will connect the two wires.
You don’t need to strip the insulation from the wires.
Push the black connector onto terminal 2 (GND) of the volume control
as shown in the diagram. This will ground the strings to the system.
