2.

 

Form the three wires into a twisted trio. 

3.

 

Insert the wires from the component side of the board and solder them on the 
solder side. 

a.

 

Either red wire may connect to RED1 

b.

 

The remaining red wire connects to RED2

The Red/yellow wire connects to RED-YEL 

Connecting the AC line-side transformer wires 

Assuming your PAT5 was previously wired for 120V, you will find that: 

 

Black-White and Black transformer wires were twisted together 

 

Violet-White and Violet transformer wires were twisted together 

As you perform the steps below, you will untwist these pairs, and form new twisted pairs 
out of these four wires. 

Make absolutely sure that your PAT-5 is unplugged! 

1.

 

Identify the following 2 transformer wires: 

a.

 

Violet 

b.

 

Black-white 

c.

 

Verify that you have the correct pair by measuring the DC resistance 
between these two wires. The DC resistance is around 120 Ohms

2

2.

 

Twist these insulated wires together to form a new twisted pair. (Violet and 
Black-White) Of course, their ends remain independent. 

3.

 

Insert the wires into the component side of the board and solder them on the 
solder side. Leave the wires as long as possible, but if their lengths differ greatly, 
you will probably want to equalize them to the length of the shorter wire in the 
pair. Just make sure that it will reach when everything is put back in place. 

a.

 

Connect the Violet wire to the VIO eyelet on the PCB. 

b.

 

Connect the Black/white wire to the BLK-WHT eyelet on the PCB. 

4.

 

Identify the following 2 transformer wires 

a.

 

Violet-White 

b.

 

Black 

c.

 

Verify that you have the correct pair by measuring the DC resistance 
between these two wires. The DC resistance is around 120 Ohms. 

5.

 

Twist these insulated wires together to form a new twisted pair (Violet-White and 
Black). Of course, their ends remain independent. 

6.

 

Insert the wires into the component side of the board and solder them on the 
solder side. Leave the wires as long as possible, but if their lengths differ greatly, 
you will probably want to equalize them to the length of the shorter wire in the 
pair. Just make sure that it will reach when everything is put back in place. 

a.

 

Connect the Violet/white wire to the VIO-WHT eyelet on the PCB. 

b.

 

Connect the Black wire to the BLK eyelet on the PCB.

 The resistance you find as you measure the DC resistance of these windings may vary by plus or minus 

10% from the quoted value.
