2.3 Connecting Cables to the Input Board
1. Apply silicone grease to the plug connectors before
inserting into the board.
2. When attaching cables, note the proper orientation. The
connectors are “keyed” or asymmetrical to assure proper
alignment. The connector should plug in easily and is
held in place with friction.
3. Once the cables are attached, apply more silicone grease
on top of the connectors to prevent moisture from
entering receptacles.
4. When removing cables, pull close to the connector to
avoid pulling on the wires. Wires that become loose
could cause intermittent operation.
