    • It is your responsibility to read, understand, and adhere to the applicable documentation for this controller board and any other devices that are to be attached to it.

    • Lack of adherence / compliance to the equipment manufacturer’s documentation and warnings can result in equipment, personnel, and property damage.

    • Do not use any power supply while wiring the board unless you're asked to do so.

  1. High quality crimping tool for mini crimps (e.g. PA-20 or PA-21) Insulation stripping pliers Ferrule crimping pliers
    • High quality crimping tool for mini crimps (e.g. PA-20 or PA-21)

    • Insulation stripping pliers

    • Ferrule crimping pliers

    • and of course some cutting pliers

  2. cut-off the old Dupont connectors and unisolate 5mm off the cable. use the 1.9mm slot of the PA-21 to first crimp the wires to the front of  the crimping contact. make sure it's fully crimped so that wires are held in place
    • cut-off the old Dupont connectors and unisolate 5mm off the cable.

    • use the 1.9mm slot of the PA-21 to first crimp the wires to the front of the crimping contact.

    • make sure it's fully crimped so that wires are held in place

    • use the 1.9mm slot of the PA-21 to crimp the isolated wire to the back of the crimping contact.

    • make sure it's fully crimped so that cable is held in place

    • Before inserting the cables in the housing check the position and the orientation

    • Make sure the little "hooks" show up in the litte windows

  3. cut-off the old Dupont connectors and unisolate 5mm off the cable. use the 1.6mm slot of the PA-21 to first crimp the wires to from the crimping contact. make sure it's fully crimped so that wires are held in place
    • cut-off the old Dupont connectors and unisolate 5mm off the cable.

    • use the 1.6mm slot of the PA-21 to first crimp the wires to from the crimping contact.

    • make sure it's fully crimped so that wires are held in place

    • use the 1.6mm slot of the PA-21 to crimp the isolated wire to the back of the crimping contact.

    • Before inserting the cables in the housing check the position and the orientation

    • Make sure the little "hooks" show up in the litte windows

  4. cut-off the old Y-connector and unisolate 12mm off the cable. twist the wires a bit to make slide easier into the ferrules. Insert the cable into the ferrule and make sure the wires come out at the end
    • cut-off the old Y-connector and unisolate 12mm off the cable.

    • twist the wires a bit to make slide easier into the ferrules.

    • Insert the cable into the ferrule and make sure the wires come out at the end

    • use the ferrule crimping tool to crimp the ferrule

    • cut-off the wires at the end and repeat the last step for the second cable

    • final crimped cable

    • for the heat bed cable use the large grey ferrules

    • for the heater cable use the small grey ferrules. You have to cut-off 2mm of the ferrules after crimping to fit the green housing

  5. Never attach / detach motors when the board is powered!! Never blindly trust stepper motors’ wiring colors, always check phases. Mixing the phases up on the 4-pin connector can and often does result in damage to the stepper driver. Be especially careful when using stepper motors with detachable cables!

    • ZR is the right z-motor

    • ZL is the left z-motor

    • Make sure both jumpers are installed.

  6. The PINDA2 probe cable needs to be split into three connections:
    • The PINDA2 probe cable needs to be split into three connections:

    • WHITE for temperature sense,

    • BLACK for probe trigger,

    • and power as BROWN +5v & BLUE GND. Make sure to crimp the cables to a 2 pin Dupont housing.

    • The SuperPINDA probe cable needs to be split into two connections:

    • BLACK for probe trigger,

    • and power as BROWN +5v & BLUE GND. Make sure to crimp the cables to a 2 pin Dupont housing.

  7. Crimp the cables and use a three pin Duet connector housing.
    • Crimp the cables and use a three pin Duet connector housing.

  8. Make sure that the jumper is set according to the voltage of your fans!!! 5V position 24V position
    • Make sure that the jumper is set according to the voltage of your fans!!!

    • 5V position

    • 24V position

    • Make sure the polarity of the fans is correct!

  9. Make sure that you crimp the provided ferrules to the hotend power cables.
    • Make sure that you crimp the provided ferrules to the hotend power cables.

    • Polarity of the hotend cartridge does not matter.

    • Polarity of the hotend thermistor does not matter.

  10. Make sure that you crimp the provided ferrules to the heat bed cables.
    • Make sure that you crimp the provided ferrules to the heat bed cables.

    • Pay attention to the polarity of the heated bed. If it's wrong the integrated LED on the bed wil not work.

    • The polarity of the thermistor does not play a role.

  11. The Duet 2 Wifi board requires only one pair of power cables. If your PSU has two pairs installed remove one pair from the PSU.
    • The Duet 2 Wifi board requires only one pair of power cables. If your PSU has two pairs installed remove one pair from the PSU.

    • Make sure that you crimp the provided ferules to the power cables.

    • Pay attention to the polarity. Wrong polarity of the power in cables will destroy the board.

  12. Use the 4-wire cable that comes with the PanelDue to connect the PanelDue to your controller board for the serial and power connections.
    • Use the 4-wire cable that comes with the PanelDue to connect the PanelDue to your controller board for the serial and power connections.

  13. In case the extruder turns in the wrong direction mirror the cables, i.e. (blue,redgreen,black) -> (black,green,red,blue) In case the extruder turns in the wrong direction mirror the cables, i.e. (blue,redgreen,black) -> (black,green,red,blue)
    • In case the extruder turns in the wrong direction mirror the cables, i.e. (blue,redgreen,black) -> (black,green,red,blue)
