Cable System
Connecting Power Supply
to Power Source and Cable Transmitter
The gray wire that extends from the power supply has two wires within it—a red wire and a black wire.
The black wire is the ground; it connects to the negative battery terminal, and the red wire connects to the
positive battery terminal. The white wire connects to the cable transmitter wire (see diagram). The Eclipse
remote display and power supply must be connected directly to the power source, not through a wiring
harness or the drill’s auxiliary panel.

Grounding the Cable Transmitter
The cable transmitter must be grounded or it will not work—no signal or data will be sent to the remote
display. The ground point on the cable transmitter is the metal end cap (where the wire extends). When
the cable transmitter is properly fitted into the housing, the ground connection will occur automatically,
because it is grounded through the drill. When testing the cable transmitter outside of the housing, you
can make a ground connection by taking a piece of wire and touching the negative terminal of the battery
with one end and touching the other end of the wire to the metal end cap of the cable transmitter.
