Interior Control Cable Connections

1. Open the unit by removing the four (two per side) Phillips

head screws to remove the cover.

2. Push the end of the cable through the control wire feed

through on the rear of the unit.

3. Connections for the wire are made on the green header.

Loosen each terminal screw until it is near flush with the

top of the connector block.

4. Strip approximately 1/4" insulation from the wire end and

connect each wire to a terminal by sliding the wire completely into the wire connection hole.

Using a small flat blade screwdriver, tighten the associated screw until the wire is

firmly gripped in place as shown. (Your control wire color sequence may vary).

Take caution to ensure just the wire is clamped in place, not the wire's insulation which

would cause an open or intermittent connection. Do not over tighten the screw so much

that the wire is cut instead of being firmly gripped. Use a Ty-Wrap on the inside of the

unit to hold the cable from pulling outward as shown.

When connecting the control cable to the DX Engineering Pro-Stack Broadband Three Antenna

Phasing Relay Unit (DXE-PS-3B and DXE-PS-3BDIN), ensure your cable is wired the same way

at the other end to avoid un-necessary troubleshooting. Use the chart below to record which color

wire is connected to each terminal connection.

The green connector on the DX Engineering Pro-Stack Broadband Three Antenna Phasing Relay

Unit (DXE-PS-3B and DXE-PS-3BDIN) pulls straight off of the relay unit. Use a small

screwdriver to open each wire connection (same method as described

for the control console wire connections). Insert the stripped wire and

tighten. Do not allow insulation inside the connector which may

cause an open. When installing the green connector, push straight in

until fully seated.
