CONNECTING CONTROL CABLE TO THE OPTIONAL DB25 FIELD SPLICE
The DB25 Field Splice provides a convenient solder-less connection of the control cable to the SteppIR controller. Follow
the steps below to connect it to your control cable.
1. Apply the provided dielectric grease to the exposed copper portion of each wire.
2. Connect each wire to the appropriate terminal and tighten using a flat head
screwdriver.
Note that the terminals may be closed by default. If so, turn the ter-
minal screw ccw ~10 turns to open it before inserting the wires.
Consult the table
on the following page for the correct wiring sequence.
3. Position the control cable between the cable clamp halves.
4. Tighten the two pan head screws until the cable is snug, but do not over-tighten.
5. Thread the two thumb screws into the connector face.
6. Plug the DB25 splice into the back of the controller and twist the thumb-screws to
secure it.
