Maybe I wasnt clear. THe manual says to connect terminal one on motor to
terminal one on control head. same for 2,3 and 4. The manual also assumes a
standard flat 4 wire rotor cable so that wire one can be connected to
terminal one etcetera. THe problem is that instead of using standard rotor
cable, colored cable was used and there is no way of knowing what color is
connected to which terminal on the motor end. Therefore I don't know what
color corresponds to which terminal at the contol end. my only option is to
go thru all 24 permutations of 4 wires at the control head and hope that I
don't blow something up in the process. I was hoping that someone could
determine a way to ID at least one wire so that 24 permutations drop down to
6 and decrease my chances of burning something up



Ah. What RLM said. Follow the notes on fig. 7 to the extent that they
correspond with your actual wire colors.
