Topic: Wiring
Hey all, was wondering on the wiring end, for the parts that you dont put the screws over the wire on the Pid, how do you recommend connecting for example, the wires to the switches? Soldering them?
Re: Wiring
I used blade connectors, mine came with some, and I had some already so I used those also.
Re: Wiring
Ohh. Yea I see. Could anyone upload come pictures please on how they did that? Thanks
Re: Wiring
Quick disconnect connectors are included for the switches in the kits, the fully assembled version has the wiring already completed.

It looks like you're a July fully assembled backer, are you asking about kits or fully assembled?
Re: Wiring
Tim, would you mind uploading some pictures of the connectors "in action", just hooked up?
Re: Wiring
Asking about kits, assembling a kit for a friend.
Re: Wiring
You just put the wires in and crimp, I'm not sure what part is confusing but would be happy to take a picture if you let me know what specifically you're unsure about?
Re: Wiring
Just about the wires hooking in correctly. Want to make sure i'm inserting them right. If you don't mind, i'd appreciate it!

Re: Wiring
Hey tim, so i'm following this diagram: 
As you can see on the left, all the black, how are those black wires all attached? Thanks
Re: Wiring
Okay, so you're not asking about how to crimp a quick disconnect, you're asking about the wiring in general.
Some people put all of those in a wire nut. I run them all (4 total) under the screw on the controller's terminal 2. Either option is fine. We're working with low voltage here and the power supplies are overload protected, there's not much you can mess up. 
Re: Wiring
I am wondering about the proper "way" to crimp the wires also. But then that question came up also.

Re: Wiring
Thanks Tim! Just turned it on! IT WORKS. So now I need to figure out how to use the controller, which I"m sure i'll find in the guide. Thanks!
