This doea have  preamp so it ia om topic. I got 2 of these in a box with assorted wirong and pots. I do get low level sound but the battery has no effect. Any ideas?

Presume it needs 9v, 0v and Signal.

Is this an EMG 81? If so you need the connection board as shown here: http://www.emgpickups.com/guitar/humbucking/active-humbucking/81.html .  Have you got it?

Whoa! I thought i had fixed my spelling. Anyway, dont have the board. Will look around the EMG site. The local junk shop just had a box of these with several sets jumbled up so some key parts are missing. I  thought these might be useful for my DIY lap steel as it needs a bridge pickup. https://flic.kr/p/eh33nk. It doesnt sound as good through my LM386 amp as my Hofner Shorty which has a humbucker in it.
