ZEROpoint(?) distro block questions . . .

Yo . . . brand new user.

Recently acquired an amp rack out of somebody's trunk . . . got a Ti600.2, 2 1-farad Titanium caps, and a fused distro block that I can only identify as a ZEROpoint (I believe). It looks almost like the one pictured in the next post, but instead of the bottom right screw being the same size as the outputs, it's really tiny. I'm wondering if that's still a ground, or is it a remote wire?

The reason I ask is because the wire coming out of that port was connected to a relay, which was connected to a whole BUNCH of shit, including all the remote wires for the amps.

I'm wondering if I NEED something plugged into this port, what it is, and really any other info you can give me about this block. It's been ridiculous even finding out what it's called.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks a lot for any info.

ahhh. I was trying to be lazy.

can you post pics here or do you have to host them somewhere and post links?

First you need to resize them to 640x480 and then u can use post reply not the quick reply button and u will find everything under the field u can write in!

And while I'm at it, here's the "whole bunch of other shit" I was talking about . . . see if you can help . . .

The relay has blue, yellow, red, and brown wires. Bosch type relay.

Blue: one wire from each light transformer, black wires, half of other black wires (LOL)

Yellow: other half of other black wires, other wire from each light transformer, twisted pairs that lead to all remote wires (3 amps plus cap)

Red: pigtail

Brown: pigtail

the longest black wire from the Blue relay wire was the one hooked into the smallest port on the block . . .

The small block all the way on the left bottom corner is a ground connection

And yes it is a zero point fused distro! It is a ZBB34

You can tell by the switch in it to turn the leds on and off and the low voltage led sticking out of the housing when the cover is on it!

As for the wires u got there!

Maybe the guy had a few neons in his car and those are the leftovers! But i´m not sure.

Ok--so it's ground. Why is is so small? It's for like 16awg at the biggest. Is that just for the circuitry in the block?

The relay definitely has something to do with neons--that's what the light transformers are for. I've got the neon bars. What I'm wondering is, do I need to use this relay again for the block because that tiny ground was connected to it? Or can I just ground it out itself?

The flaw with those zero point distros is that u have to switch the leds on and off by hand all the time otherwise those leds will keep burning all the time even when everything else from your system is turned off.

Maybe he used the relay with the remote from the radio to switch the ground going to the distro?!?

Yup--I think what you just said about the switching off the LEDs just answered my question. He worked that ground into the remotes for the amps so that you didn't have to switch it off.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I was SO confused.
