Preparing and Wiring the Cables
To prepare and connect cable leads and drain wires, follow these steps:
1. At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose individual wires.
2. Trim signal wires to 5–inch lengths beyond the cable casing. Strip about 3/16 inch
(4.76 mm) of insulation to expose the ends of the wires.
3.
At the module–end of the cables:
- extract the drain wire and signal wires
- remove the foil shield
- bundle the input cables with a cable strap
4. Connect drain wires together and solder them to a 3/8” wire braid, 12” long. Keep
drain wires as short as possible.
5. Connect the 3/8” wire braid to the nearest chassis mounting bolt.
6. Connect the signal wires of each channel to the terminal block.
