Step 2The Wire
Because the Metrix Kit is powered over ethernet, this is amazingly simple.
Get a length of Cat5e (I usually use about two feet) and use a Cat5 stripping tool or sharp knife to cut the jacket right around the halfway mark. Slide the jacket off and cut it in thirds. Separate the orange and green pair from the blue and brown pair and slide the jacket pieces back on to make the cable tidy. Crimp connectors to the base of the Y as well as the orange and green side following this chart.
base of Y
orange/white | orange | green/white | blue | blue/white | green | brown/white |brown
orange/green pairs
orange/white | orange | green/white | empty | empty | green | empty | empty
On the brown/blue pairs, strip the individual jackets to expose the copper and twist together. You will be wrapping these around your battery posts.
