Threading the power cable through the digital safe

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The MortiSafe Pro comes with a power cable, which is a USB cable but, since the holes in the back of your safe typically won't be large enough to fit a USB connector through, this cable has a cut and some clips so you can unclip the wires, thread them through the safe and reclip them.

The parts along this cable are as follows:

  1. Large rectangular USB connector ('A' connector) which fits into your USB power unit
  2. A long piece of cable
  3. A knot (this goes just inside the safe and stops the cable being pulled out)
  4. A cut in the cable and clips holding the wires together
  5. A short piece of cable
  6. Small USB connector ('micro usb') which fits into the MortiSafe Pro core unit, as seen in the picture above

The clips hold the wires together but if you lift the orange lever the wire will come free.

So the process of fitting this into the safe is:

  1. Identify the wires going into the clips which are on the longer knotted USB cable
  2. Lift the appropriate orange levers to let those wires go free
  3. Un-knot the knot
  4. Thread this longer piece of cable through the safe from the outside, so once done the USB connector that fits into your USB power unit is behind the safe and the end with the bare wires are coming out the front
  5. Re-knot the not, and ensure that if the cable is pulled from outside, the knot will stop the cable being pulled right out
  6. Re-clip the wires back into the clips, ensuring that both black wires are connected to the same clip and that both red wires are connected to the same clip
