ground wire to a known-good-ground in the area.
Connecting Mat Worksurface
Prepare an 18 AWG wire. Strip off the wire insulation
approximately 8mm (1/3" in) at each end of the wire.
Twist the stranded wire on each end. In order to attach
the wire to the Iron Man Plus Workstation Monitor,
insert a small blade screwdriver into the orange slot
above the Mat connector. Gently push inward and
insert the stripped wire fully into the hole in the green
connector. Release the screwdriver to allow the wire
to catch. Use the suppliers recommended method to
connect the mat worksurface to the other end of the
wire.
Connecting Cable to Board Under Test
Attach the provided cable with alligator clip to the back
of the Iron Man Plus Workstation Monitor. In order to
attach the wire to the Iron Man , insert a small blade
screwdriver into the orange slot above the Board
connector. Gently push inward and insert the stripped
wire fully into the hole in the green connector. Release
the screwdriver to allow the wire to catch. Attach the
other end of the cable to the targeted PCB using the
alligator clip.
Connecting Power
Plug the power adapter into a power outlet, and plug the
cord into the Iron Man Plus Workstation Monitor.
Mounting
Determine the mounting location of the Iron Man Plus
Workstation Monitor. Mount the unit using one of the
following recommended methods:
