The connection of conductors (wires) is made easy for the New Generation Big Dipper through
the use of a spring loaded terminal block. This block is located within the housing on the side
of the Big Dipper. With a wiring diagram on the inside of the cover and each position clearly
numbered, changes to the Big Dipper's operation or troubleshooting is quick and simple. The
only tool required is a small flat-head screwdriver.
There are three steps to connecting or removing a conductor (wire) to a position on the terminal
block (See Diagram Below):
1. Insert a small screwdriver at a slight angle into the small slot immediately beside the
numbers. Move the screwdriver to almost perpendicular in order to open the spring.
2. Insert or remove the conductor into the large hole corresponding to the screwdriver's
position. Twisting the strands of the conductor will help prevent any stray strands from
sticking out.
3. Remove the screwdriver and make sure the conductor is secured.
