Reverse Polarity Installation Details

Stage 1

Reverse polarity installation stage 1.

Tags soldered to diode and it fitted to the two output terminals. This is fitted after the two output posts have been secured with the 4mm nuts and soldered to the board and with a brass washer under the diode ring terminals - note banded end towards positive terminal. The component leads can be shorter then this.

Stage 2

Having shown the above picture with the diode fitted you now need to lift the end off the negative terminal and insert the negative output lead first such that the diode lead passes under this output lead.

Stage 3
