a sturdy, flat, surface using ¼"(6.35mm) hardware

of

your choosing. Keep away from extreme heat sources and moving parts.

The Distribution Module is waterproof and therefore not confined

to

theengine bay. The

Select a channel/connector based on the current draw

of

the device you will be connecting. Do

not

exceed current rating for the connected channel. Use the included female pigtail connector

relevant

to

thechannel being used.

If

the wires

• Forfull lPX7 waterproof protection,

if

the

MBRIX

Distribution Module is mounted

in

a place

that

it

may get temporarily submerged underwater, please follow steps #1-4.

1.

Evenly fill all female connectors with silicone grease slightly belowthe flat shoulder

of

the

connector

or

the tip

of

the pins.

2. Plug in the Male connector and make sure no excess grease squeeze out, wipe

off

or

clean

excess grease
