Prepping the T35-GFX for use

If your T35-GFX is new out of the box, you will need to configure the power and output
lead wires. CEI supplies heavy duty alligator clips for these lead wires; they must be
soldered to obtain a good connection. Alternately, you may choose to install some other
type of connector, such as a Dean's® connector for the power connections.
When soldering, be sure to heat the conductors enough so that you get a nice shiny solder
joint. Use enough solder to fully wet the conductors, but not so much that it forms a big
ball, or glob.
Good solder joints are shiny, not dull. Dull solder joints are usually referred to as "cold"
solder joints. The usual cause is not heating the conductors to be soldered sufficiently
before applying the solder.
