The Glow-Wires need a connection on one end with the inverter that supplies the special
EL-voltage. The other end stays electrically open but should be sealed against moisture
with a drop of "Super-Glue" (Don't use normal Paper Adhesive!)
On the connection side remove the outer cover of the EL-wire by 1 to 1.5 cm. Use a stripper,
a blade or melt the cover with the hot soldering iron. Be careful not to hurt the underlying
two wires - these are the outer electrodes! Wrap these two wires together and bend them
to the side.
The solid central wire is covered with the porous luminescence material. This thin layer need
to be scratched off by 2 to 3mm from the metal to allow a soldered contact.
Strip the twin-cable from the inverter in two steps so that the blank copper ends can not
touch each other. Solder the longer end of the twin-cable to the two wires of the outer
electrode and the shorter to the inner core of the EL-Wire.
No need to check the polarity! EL-Wires run on alternating voltage (AC).
Now the Glow-Wire should already light up when the inverter is switched on.
To fix the fragile connection seal it with at least 30mm heat-shrink tube. Let the covered
connection cool down a little before switching on the inverter. Ready!
Between Inverter and EL-Wire any kind of twin-cable can be used. The lenght of that
connection cable is not restricted.
Multiple sections of EL-Wire can be connected to one inverter.
Only the EL-inverter should be strong enough to drive the total length of all sections.
