and power lines, and strip the covering from the signal and power lines to the
proper length for the crimp terminal connectors. Twist together the wires of
each of the signal and power lines.

4. Attach the crimp terminals to the lines and then cover any exposed areas of
the cable and lines with electricians tape or heat-shrinking tubes.
5. Orient the connector properly, loosen the line set screws, and then insert the
lines in order from left to right: Black, blue, shield, white, and then red. The
wiring method is the same regardless of whether or not the connector is
equipped with set screws.
Example: T-branch Connection
Blue (CAN low)
Black (–V)
Red (+V)
White (CAN high)
Shield
Note Be sure the wire set screws are sufficiently loosened before attempt-

There are colored stickers provided on the Master Unit and Slaves that
match the colors of the lines to be inserted. Be sure that the colors match
when wiring the connectors. These colors are as follows:
