3. Configurare și instalare
Proper installation of the JLF-H wiring harness is essential for correct joystick functionality. Follow these steps carefully:
- Identificați componentele: Ensure you have your SANWA JLF series joystick, the JLF-H wiring harness, and your control board/encoder.
- Connect to Joystick: Locate the 5-pin connector port on the SANWA JLF joystick's PCB. Carefully align the white Molex connector of the JLF-H harness with this port and push it firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the connector is oriented correctly to avoid bending pins.
- Wire to Control Board/Encoder: The individual wires from the harness need to be connected to your control board or encoder. Refer to the wiring guide below for standard color assignments. Each wire corresponds to a specific direction (Up, Down, Left, Right) and ground.
- Conexiuni sigure: Once all wires are connected, ensure they are secure and free from strain. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the wiring.
- Funcționalitate de testare: Before final assembly, test the joystick's functionality to confirm all directions and inputs are registered correctly.
