KIT-Cube5E Assembling Guide
Version0.9
(2023‐04‐21)


ThisassemblingguideonlyprovidesbasicguidanceonhowtoassemblethepartsinKIT‐CUBE5Etogether.The
personwhoattemptstoassembletheKIT‐CUBE5Eshouldhavebasicknowledgeofelectricalcircuits,can
understandwiringdiagrams,andcanusetoolssuchasamultimeter,screwdrivers,andetc.

Beforeyoustarttheassemblingprocess,pleasereadthewiringdiagramofCube5Eandunderstandeachpartis
wiringtothecircuit.

Weusethe“WiringKit”ofKIT‐CUBE5Einthisassemblingprocess.

1. Preparation
1.1. Parts
Pleaseseethepartlistincludedwiththekit.

1.2. Tools

 Phillipsscrewdrivers
 Flat‐headscrewdrivers
 Adjustablewrenchorsocketwrenches
 Pliers
 Multimeter(fortroubleshooting,ifneeded)
2. Installing Components

3.5. InstallWiresontheFrontPanel
Usetheother5‐polewireconnectorastheHotBus.OnthetwoAUXselectorswitches(SW4),
removeoneblockfromeachswitchbecauseweonlyneedoneblockoneach.Theblackwires
forthisstepare14AWGwireswithforkconnectorononeend,baretipontheotherend.
InstallonewiretoeachswitchblockandinsertthebaretiponotherendtotheHotBus
connector(seeFigure3‐5‐a).

Next,connecteachswitchblocktothefuseblock.Theblackwiresforthisstepare14AWG
wireswithforkconnectorononeend,femalequick‐disconnectconnectorontheotherend
(seeFigure3‐5‐b).

Onthewiringharness(WH16)ofthecontrollerswitch(SW9‐UL),thereare4pieceswiresleft,
black(LEDhot),white(LEDneutral),green(N.O.),andblue(common).Theblackandtheblue
wirefromthewiringharnessshouldbeinsertedtotheHotBus.Thewhitewirefromthe
wiringharnessshouldbeconnectedtotheEZboilcontroller’s#9,andthegreenwirefromthe
wiringharnessshouldbeconnectedtocontroller’s#10terminal.Thewiresonthewiring
harnessdon’thaveforkconnectorsinstalled.

(Note:weaddedforkconnectorstothewiresconnectedtotheEZboilcontrollerbutthisstepisnotrequiredaslong
asthewiresarefirmlyclampedbythescrewterminals.)
