MATERIALS NEEDED:

1 -- OUTLET box from STEP 11

2 --  Completed COVER PLATE from STEP 8



CONNECT POWER WIRE:
Take the "BLACK" wire from the power cord and connect to TERMINAL-1 (T1) on the PCB.

 
TERMINAL-5 CONNECTIONS:
Using the 2 "BLACK" wires from "SAFETY BINDING POST" (black top) connect one to TERMINAL-5 (T5) / RELAY-1 (R1)  with the un-connected other “BLACK” wire now connect it to TERMINAL-5 (T5) / RELAY-2 (R2).

Next connect the "BLACK" wires from the "LED" hardware.  It is important to connect the wires in the correct locations.  "LED-1" must connect to TERMINAL-5(T5) / RELAY-1 (R1) and "LED-2" must connect to TERMINAL-5 (T5) / RELAY-2 (R2).
 
  
TERMINAL-2 CONNECTIONS:
“SAFETY BINDING POST” with red tops. Connect Safety Binding Post-1 (red top) SBP-RT-1 to TERMINAL-2 (T2) / RELAY-1 (R1) and connect Safety Binding Post-2 (red top) SBP-RT-2 to TERMINAL-2 (T2) / RELAY-2 (R2)
 
Next connect the "red" wires from the "LED" hardware.  It is important to connect the wires in the correct locations.  "LED-1" must connect to TERMINAL-2 (T5) / RELAY-1 (R1) and "LED-2" must connect to TERMINAL-2 (T2) / RELAY-2 (R2).


TERMINAL-3 CONNECTIONS:
Using the middle "BLACK" wire from ROCKER SWITCH-1 (RS-1) connect it to TERMINAL-3 (T3) / RELAY-1 (R1).  Now using the middle "BLACK" wire from ROCKER SWITCH-2 (RS-2) connect it to TERMINAL-3 (T3) / RELAY-2 (R2).  This connection will make the outlet controled NC (normally closed).  This can be changed depending on user needs for the testing tool.

TERMINAL-4 CONNECTIONS:
At this time TERMINAL-4 (T4) will not be used.  When configured with TERMINAL-4 (T4) the outlet it controls becomes NO (normally open).  This is a configuration is a choice users select depending out the needs of the testing tool. 

ROCKER SWITCH - "BLACK" wire (non-center) outside wire.
Connect the outside "BLACK" wire to OUTLET "HOT" side.  Be sure to connect ROCKER SWITCH-1 (RS1) to OUTLET-1 (O1) on the "HOT" side of the OUTLET.  Now cconnect ROCKER SWITCH-2 (RS2) to OUTLET-2 (O2) on the "HOT" side of the OUTLET

"COMM" CONNECTION:
All that will be left to connect are the "WHITE" wires.  These are all the "COMM" connections.  Pull them together and use shrink-tubing to connect them together.  Once you have all the "COMM" wires together twist them together and finish the job with a wire nut to cover the connection.

MOUNT THE OUTLET INTO THE BOX:
Now that all the wires are connected mount the outlet into the box.  Be careful to not cause any connections to come loose (or the outlets will not work).

CONNECT COVER PLATE TO  BOX:
The last task is to work the wires into the box and attach cover plate to the box.  Be careful here as there are a lot of wires and connections that can work loose.  Just work the wires in at a slow pace and you will be fine with this task.
