Tips

  • Please ensure you read the Safety section of this guide.
  • Ask for professional help when dealing with AC connections
  • Always disconnect the power cable when working on the electronics or opening the box exposing the AC side
  • Use the appropriate tools for crimping (check the BOM for recommendations)
  • Do not tin wires going into ferrules or fork connectors
  • Do not tin or use ferrules for wires going to Wago splice connectors
  • Check the tightness of spade connectors (when NOT powered) and inspect the AC socket area from time to time to check for any signs of damage due to arcing or heat. This is a known point of failure that has been observed on other printers in the past
