- Unscrew the Connector: If reusing a connector, carefully unscrew its components.
- Kejjel u Aqta’: Measure the desired length of the light strand. Cut the string light in the middle of two light beads.
- Wajers tal-Istrixxa: Using professional tools, carefully strip off the outer insulation of the power cord to reveal the three insulated wires inside. Ensure the length of the exposed insulated wires is approximately 30 mm.
- Identifika l-Wajers: The wires are typically color-coded or marked (e.g., 'Printing', 'Blank', 'Dashed line'). Match these to the corresponding color-coded slots (Red, Yellow, Blue) within the connector.
- Insert Wires into Connector: Remove the caps from the connector components. Pass the power cord through the caps. Pull outwards to open the locking buckles on the connector's internal mechanism. Insert the exposed wires into their corresponding color-coded slots. Push back the locking buckles to secure the wires.
- Arma l-Konnettur: Firmly screw the connector components together. Push the silicone plug into the shell to ensure a waterproof seal.
- Konnessjoni tat-Test: Once assembled, plug the light strand back into the power source to check if the connection is working properly and all lights illuminate.
