Extra Turn
I installed a Stealth Plate onto my VP44 over the weekend. I found the instructions straight forward, but did do a couple things differently.
So first and foremost, remove the APPS assembly, and there is your VP44
Remove the 5 screws with the supplied bit.
Install the Stealth plate, and as they say, tighten the 5 screws "snugly"
This is where I did things a little different. The "destructions" say to use a test light to check for power at the Stealth Plate's probe. I never, EVER use a test light on ANY computer circuits. I believe they are for tail lights and such. I used my multi meter to see when power is tapped into, then added my extra half turn.
Snipped the supplied probe from the Edge off, and soldered on eye-lit and heat shrink over the eye-lit and wire protector.
In my opinion, I believe every tapped VP44 should have one of these. No pre-twisting wires to install onto the outside wires of the VP44, and no doubt of a proper connection.
