Are we missing parts?

Technical Electrical

The directions say to locate one 6 AWG red wire and they don’t say anything about a 6 AWG black wire.

The diagram displays two 6 AWG red wires and one 6 AWG black wire.

We received one 6 AWG red wire and one 6 AWG black wire, and the packaging list confirms this.

With one red wire how do we connect the PDP to the breaker, and the breaker to the battery so it looks like the attached image?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

A simple fix would be to cut your red wire into two desired lengths. This will require you to use more terminal connectors, but there should be enough in the KoP to do that. You can also order more 6 awg wire, or find it at your local hardware/electronics store.

You might have 6AWG wire that is already crimped to the Andersen SB50 battery connectors. If that’s the case, then you just need the one Red 6AWG wire to connect between the PDP and main breaker. Then connect the red end of the SB50 connector to the other side of the main breaker and the black end directly to the PDP.

Typically, the robot side battery connector has a red and black wire attached. The black goes to the negative terminal on the PDP, the red to one terminal on the main breaker. Then, a red wire goes from the other port on the main breaker to the positive terminal on the PDP.

Ahem, by rule that’s how it is. That would be why it’s so typical… :yikes:

Rule R46, Figure 8-9, found on pages 82-83 of the full Game Manual.

Find the SB-50 connectors first with their wires. One goes on the robot, the rest go on your batteries.
