Connecting Your Signal Lines
To connect the signal wires to the screw terminals, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off your ER-8/16. Make sure the signal wires you are connecting to the screw terminals
are also turned off and do not contain any live voltages. Also make sure the host computer is
turned off.
