 to insulate the soldered 

connection, but leave roughly 8 mm's 
worth of wire free at the base of the light. 
The sleeve shrinks when heated.

Connect the wires 
to the circuit board. 
Polarities are 
not important.

Place the rotary encoder assembly's 
connector onto the circuit board 
as indicated.
