Fasten the Ground Wire
The braided wire on the vehicle battery cable is the grounding
strap. To ensure proper cable shielding, fasten the ground
strap to the vehicle sheet metal.
1Drill a small hole into the metal that you intend to fasten
the ground wire to.
2Use a punch to dimple and enlarge the hole until it is the
same size as the screw.
3Scrape off a small circle of paint around the hole to make
sure bare metal is exposed.
4Secure the wire with a #8 5/8-inch screw and flat washer.

The location of the pins for the CV31, CV41, and CV61 power
connector are the same, but the port pin assignments are
different. Non-regulated inputs require an external fuse.
CV31, CV41, and CV61 Power Connector: The CV41 connector is
smaller in diameter than the CV31 and CV61 connectors.
