Insert the terminals into the housings exactly as shown in Figure 47.
The terminals should snap securely in place. Pull on the wires
individually and make sure they cannot be pulled out (if so, the terminals
are probably inserted upside down).
Optional step: The supplied spring pin may be inserted as shown in
the figure above to keep the red and black housing from slipping apart.
The manufacturer of the connectors recommends securing the pin with a
drop of super-glue.
Prepare the opposite end of the 2-conductor stranded wire and attach
the red wire to your power supply positive (+) terminal and the black wire
to the power supply negative (-) terminal.
Locate the top cover and the four 3/16” (4.8 mm) screws provided to
attach it to the 2D connectors on the top of the transverter.
Clean any paint from the areas where the inside surface of the top
cover will contact the 2D connectors when it is installed.
Test fit the top cover in place. Bend resettable fuse F1 in the upper
right quadrant toward connector J6 as needed to ensure it clears the top
cover. You can leave the top cover off until test and alignment is finished.
Set aside four 3/16” (4.8 mm) screws with the cover.
Locate and set aside the nine, 2-pin header shorting blocks. They will
be used during alignment and installation to configure your transverter to
work with your station equipment.

Skip the next step if you have installed the optional feet and
bail assembly.
Attach the self-stick rubber feet to the bottom of your transverter.
There are six pre-drilled holes for the optional bail and feet assembly.
Use them as a guide for the feet as follows:
There are two screw holes near the rear edge. Place the rear
feet so they are attached only to the bottom cover but where
they just cover these holes. One of the feet is a close fit
between the edge of the rear cover and the cooling holes.
There are two screw holes for each attachment for the bail
assembly near the front of the bottom cover. Position each
front foot so it covers the holes but where it is attached only
to the bottom cover.
Locate the male RCA plug. Solder a jumper between the center
pin and the shield. This plug will be used during the Alignment
procedures.
This completes the assembly of your transverter. You should have a 3-
foot length of multiwire cable still in the kit. It is provided to make up
the control cable as described in your Owner’s Manual.
Go to Test and Alignment in on the next page to finish your
transverter.
