2. ATTACH WIRES TO THE PCB
Bag #4 contains the following wires:
3” red
4” orange
4” yellow
3” blue
3” black
5” white
Cut each color wire to produce the following lengths (the blue wire is not cut):
1 red:
1”, 2”
1 orange: 2”, 2”
1 yellow: 2”, 2”
1 blue:
3”
1 black:
1”, 2”
1 white:
2”, 1.5”, 1.5”
To prepare a wire for soldering, strip about 1/8” of insulation from each end. To solder a
wire to the PCB:
1. Insert the wire into the component side,
2. Press the soldering iron to the wire and to the metal pad on the PCB for about 5
seconds to heat both the wire and the pad,
3. Apply solder to the wire side away from the soldering iron making sure that the
wire and pad melt the solder, not the soldering iron.
Solder the 1” red wire to the ANT connection on the PCB.
Solder the 1” black wire to the RTN connection on the PCB.
The wire connections to the PCB are numbered 1-7.
Connect the following wires to the appropriate locations:
Connection 1: 2” red wire
Connection 2: 2” black wire and 2” white wire twisted together
Connection 3: 2” orange wire
Connection 4: 2” orange wire
Connection 5: 2” yellow wire
Connection 6: 2” yellow wire
Connection 7: 3” blue wire
