WIRING TIPS
7
Because of the electro-magnetic
properties of current traveling through a
wire, there are wiring conventions used
when making wire connections.
A) Twist the wires together where
indicated in the instructions.
B) If two wire paths intersect, try to have
them cross over each other as
perpendicular as possible. (You should
follow the path of the wires shown in the
instructions).
Measure the wire by running it along its actual path (shown in the drawings) and then cutting it with
your wire cutters at a length that will give it a little bit of slack after stripping off the insulation and
soldering.
It is important not to make the wires too long.
Be careful not to burn the insulation of nearby wires with the soldering iron.
With the terminal strips used in this kit, you might want to connect some wires to the lower holes
and components to the upper holes. (Doing this can make it easier to change components for
modification).
