3.3 Connecting to the Terminal

Remove the lid slowly and gently as there is a wire attached to it that serves as the screening 

connection for the lid.

Please also ensure that on replacing the lid that the wire does not get trapped in the sealing lip.

Connecting wire ends to the terminal is intended to be easy. Above each terminal block there is an opening 
and a metal clip inside. Use a small flat-bladed screwdriver (supplied) to press down firmly on the metal clip, 
and insert the exposed wire into the terminal access located on the side of the terminal block. Once satisfied  
that the wire is inserted deep enough, release the pressure, and the wire will be firmly secured in the 
terminal. Please see the figures below.

Using this system ensures that all wires have a constant pressure exerted on them,   maintaining a 

good connection.

1 – 4 Channel External Amplifier

Take the wire that is to be inserted into 
the terminal entry in hand.

Press down firmly on the clip inside the 
opening on the top of the terminal 
block using a small flat-headed 
screwdriver.

Whilst pressing down, insert the bare 
wire end inhto the entry.

Remove the pressure from the clip to the 
bare wire. The wire should be firmly held 
in place. Test this by gently tugging the 
wire.
