After feeding harness A into the control box, note where everything is connected in case you have remove things like the LCD connections to access the new connection points.
Plug in the 3 pin connector to D11 row with the red wire on the V pin. For CR-10S machines, it is the pin closest to the LCD connections.
Unplug the Z end stop wires from the motherboard (not shown)
Plug in the 2 pin connector where the original Z end stop was plugged in. This is Z- for CR-10S machines.

Install the male green phoenix connector onto harness A.
Using a flat head screwdriver, loosen the terminals 3-4 turns then insert the wires into the
Color order does not matter but the other side of the harness HAS to match. When tightening the screw terminals, feel for when the wire end is contacted and do not overtighten. Give each wire a very gentle pull to test that they are all firmly connected.

Reinstall the bottom cover and tigthen the screws.
The vent holes should be positioned over the power supply.

Double check that the colors match from the motherboard side to the probe side and plug the motherboard side into the probe side.
Provided zip ties can be used to attach the new harness to the original in the locations shown.
Be sure to leave a little slack in the probe harness so it is not pulled on when the X axis moves back and forth.

Step 9 Flash Firmware

Please contact us regarding firmware if you have purchased our BL Touch Kit for the CR-10S.

Step 10 Startup Video

When you first power your machine on after this install and firmware has been loaded, the probe will cycle through a self test.
Command the machine to auto home and test the probe out with your finger to make sure it triggers the Z end stop and stops Z travel. If so, you have everything connected correctly and you're ready to go through Leveling Setup!
