XB2 Kit Installation 

 

Connect the supplied cable with the white 10pin connectors to 
PL18 on the mainboard and and PL19 on the interface board 1.  

Hint: Refer to the illustration in the 

HX3.5 Installation Manual

 to 

help locate the connectors on the HX3 mainboard. 

 

 

Run the shorter of the 16 core ribbon cable from PL23 (ANALG 
LWR) on the HX3 mainboard to PL5 on the interface board 1. 
Use the 6 core crimp cable to connect PL30/PL31 on the 
mainboard to PL7/PL8 on the interface board. Connect PL4 on 
the mainboard to PL10 on the interface board with the 3 core  
crimp cable.  

 

 

 

The connection of the interface board 1 is now 
completed and should look like on the adjacent 
photo.  

 

 

 

 

 

Now it's time to install the interface board 2. Screw it close to the left side of the HX3.5 mainboard. 

Connect the white connectors leading to XB2 
units, from left: 12pin connector with black 
cables (Drawbar), 4pin connector (Pitch/Mod 
Wheel), 5pin connector with black and yellow 
cables (power supply), 9pin connector (LEDs), 
10pin connector (buttons), 14pin connector 
(display). The 6 core cable from the control 
board, if present, goes to PL12 on the interface 
board.  

Make the connections to the HX3 mainboard 
with the 10 core ribbon cables: PL7 goes to 
HX3 PL9, PL9 to HX3 PL13, PL10 (panel) to 
HX3 PL21. The 16 core cable goes from PL2 
to HX3 PL22 (ANLG UPR).
