1. Connect the connection cable to the digital signal source (see the manufacturer manual). For
this purpose, trim the unused insulated wires up to the cable shield and note the wire colours.
2. Connect the connection cable to the six-pole plug as follows:
• Depending on the digital signal source and the pin assignment at terminal X5, identify the
conductor entries that will be required for connecting the connection cable.
• Release the required conductor entries using a screwdriver and insert the insulated wires into
the conductor entries. Observe the pin assignment.
3. Connect the six-pole plug to terminal X5. For this purpose, observe the pin coding.
