6. Connect each cable to the appropriate ports on the control head. The ports are labeled, and the
connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation.
7. Hand-tighten the screw nut on each cable to secure the connection. See the illustration Routing
the Cables Behind the Bracket.
Cover any unused ports to prevent potential damage.
8. Confirm there is enough cable slack to allow for the control head to pivot through its full tilt
range and for connecting or disconnecting the cables. Use nylon cable ties (not included) to
secure the cables and create a clean assembly.
NOTE: If there is excess cable that needs to be gathered at one location, dress the cable
routed from both directions so that a single loop is left extending from the storage location.
Doubling the cable up from this point, form the cable into a coil. Storing excess cable using
this method can reduce electronic interference.
