Connections and Wiring

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1.Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2.Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section).

3.Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cables from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on connector (FIG. 2).

1.Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.

2.Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

3.Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-compliant power supply.
