Thecableconnectorscomeinthesetwobasictypes:
 Pressureplateconnectors
 Normalpinconnectors
Toremoveapressureplateconnector,pullupthetabsoneithersideoftheconnector'splastic
pressureplateandgentlypullthecableoutoftheconnector.Toreconnectthecabletothe
pressureplate'sconnector,raisethepressureplateuptoasatisfactoryheightandslidethecable
intotheconnector.Securethecableinthecorrectpositionbypressingdownthesidesofthe
pressureplatesothattheplateisflushwiththesidesoftheconnector.Graspandpullthecable
