Connect the Cables
In this step, you will route the cables to the control head connector panel.
CAUTION!
Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded.
If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the
inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from
a general hardware or automotive store.
1. Route the cables to the control head through the bottom opening in the vertical bracket. See
the illustration

.
2. Connect each cable to the appropriate ports on the control head. The ports are labeled, and the
connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation.
3. Hand-tighten the screw nut on each cable to secure the connection. See the illustration

Cover any unused ports with the tethered caps to prevent potential damage.
