Screw Terminals

On this version of the Output Adapter board there are 9 screw terminals. Each terminal is labeled on the circuit board as
shown in Figure 2. The first terminal on the left, labeled +V, is the positive voltage from the Light EFX-16 board. The
remaining terminals are either light outputs 1-8 or 9-16 depending on which side of the Light EFX-16 board you've plugged
this board into. Each screw terminal can accept wire sizes from 14-26 AWG. We recommend 22 AWG but this is not a hard
requirement due to the low power nature of the connected lights.

Adding resistors to the board (optional!)

If you use the High Current version the Light EFX-16 (i.e. Light EFX-16HC) you have the option to install the necessary
resistors on the output adapter board. NOTE: good soldering skills are required!
For each of the eight lines there is a resistor mounting site and an adjacent shorted trace. Refer to Figure 6 below. As shipped
the board does not have resistors and those shorted traces are well, shorted! If you wish to install resistors you will need to
carefully cut the center of the shorted traces. This is best done with a sharp hobby knife/blade. It is recommended that you
use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the two resistor mounting holes. If you have successfully cut the shorted
trace the meter will read infinite ohms (i.e. an open circuit). Wipe off any debris after you have cut the traces. The board will
accept ¼ watt or ½ watt resistors. Insert the resistors from the topside of the board and bend the leads slightly on the
underside of the board. Carefully solder the leads on the underside of the board and clip the excess leads. You may want to
then use your ohmmeter to measure the resistance. You can touch one ohmmeter probe to the Just Plug socket pin to the right
of the resistor and touch the other probe to either the appropriate screw terminal or pin on the 10-pin connector.
