1. The first step in wiring the back of the RC1500 is to cut back the outer jacket 9
¼ inches and remove the plastic film exposing the two sub-cables.
2. The removal of the outer jackets will reveal two 16 gauge wires (red and black in
color) and 3 triple shielded wires for the position sensor enclosed in a foil shield
with a bare drain wire.
