Since MOST of the wires for the Digipanel are color coded, I MAY use the small "bullet" type crimp connectors to split/join the wires before installing the panel. You could alternatively use Anderson PowerPole connectors. These non-polarized and insulated connectors are available in either 8 or 10 different colors and can even be joined together physically to make a pair of customized mating plugs that cannot be put together incorrectly! Now that I think of it, I believe this is the route I will take.


Lots of sources for these, but one I know of is www.powerwerx.com


You would want to use the 30 Amp housings and the 15 Amp "pins" for the small size of the Digipanel wires.


The special crimping tool is the most satisfactory means to make the connections, but is not absolutely necessary.


I plan to make the 2017 Shawnee Convention/Rally even if I can't get my coach running by then, and could easily bring my specialized tools to do these if there is a desire for me to do so.

Jim,

I, for one, would be willing to pay more for the Digipanel IF the all the inputs were connected with connectors instead of being
hard wired to the unit.

We are acquiring Digi Devices and should be in production in February.
We have a very qualified Engineer / Technician that will be heading that department.
This is a very reliable unit with audible warning and shows all the readings a one time, so one doesn't need to press buttons,
or glance around. This devise has saved many engines.
