when i butt splice small wires i typically strip the wire back further and double it up in the connector, helps it stay in there tight

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Not a bad idea! I tug pretty hard when dealing with smaller cables just so I know it won’t come undone later on!

Call powertech components for new or repair those cables 😊

[@MrRhelli]

In the UK we do Factory Acceptance Tests and Site Acceptance Tests to verify the controller has been configured correctly. Is this done in your neck of the woods?

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

It’s suppose to be done but QA has been a little sloppy since Covid! Everything is suppose to be tested and verified before shipping from suppliers.

[@jonahplayscello]

Why do traffic light controllers use that connector for power? Why not something more standardized?
