Title: confused on where to solder on page 42
Post by: Jm8542 on September 12, 2020, 06:41:08 AM

In the directions on page 42 it states to attach and solder the black wire for the shielded twisted pair cable to the L terminal of the IEC power inlet. which in the picture it has the wire attached to the middle post. in the identification page on page 26 L is identified as the bottom post (order E N L). So question I have which is the correct direction?

Go by the photos.  It looks like we swapped L and N in the instructions.

OK thanks I will follow the photo in the instructions which would mean to solder on N as opposed to L.

Thanks for asking this Jm - I had the same question. PB, can you confirm that two steps later on the same page that the black wire going to 31L that is twisted around the shielded twisted pair is to be soldered to L terminal as in the picture, and not N terminal as in the instructions?

Yes, you should follow the photos for consistency.
