Step A15 : Twist each end of the multi-strand wires to ensure there are no loose wires which can
cause a short circuit. This will also make the multi-strand wires easier to insert into the screw
terminal.
Unscrew the VS1+ and VS1- terminals so the wires can be inserted. This means rotating the
screw so that the inner metal touches the bottom of the plastic (see visually). Screwing in the
opposite direction will create a bottom-up"clamping" effect which will hold the wire in place.

Insert the wires to the VS1 input as shown, between the top bent metal and the bottom metal,
making sure the black wires goes to (-) and the red wires goes to (+). Tighten the screws to
ensure the wires are secure, and verify that there are no loose strands which may cause a short
circuit.
If you find it difficult to insert all of the wire strands, or they are too "messy", use wire cutters (or
sharp scissors) to remove some of the shielding at the end (~0.5cm) and then carefully cut
some of the wire, ensuring all of the wires are straight and compact.
NOTE: Once again, ensure no wires touch between the red and black leads at the screw
terminals!
