Default Adept support needed

Somehow or another I lost the three ring binder that I had all my avionics manuals inside.
Right off I went to the Adept website but they don't show a link to the Alts82 manual any longer.
Can anyone remind me which color wire does what again?

Hey Scott,

From this link: http://www.adeptrocketry.com/ALTS2ds.htm

"CONNECTING THE CABLE AND CHARGES

View the ALTS2 vertically with the five-pin connector at the top and the battery holder toward the bottom. An Adept CAB5-xx or CAB5/6-xx series Interconnect Cable plugs onto the five-pin connector on the upper end.

The deployment charges connect to a CAB5-xx cable as follows. The first charge connects to the ORANGE wire and to the RED wire. This charge will fire when the rocket has reached the maximum altitude (apogee). The second charge connects to the YELLOW wire and also to the RED wire. It will fire when the rocket descends to 1200, 600, or 300 feet above the ground. The RED wire is common to both charges when using a CAB5-xx cable.

On a CAB5/6-xx cable there are two RED wires connected to the center pin of the 5-pin connector. This allows the convenience of connecting a separate RED wire (instead of one common wire) to each charge. A CAB5/6-24 Interconnect Cable is supplied with the ALTS2.

The BLACK wire and BROWN wire connect to an On-Off switch, or some other gimmick for completing a connection between the two wires. A non-elegant but very effective way of making the connection is to simply twist the two wire ends together. Before power up, these wires can simply hang out a hole in the rocket body, such as one of the static ports. After twisting the ends together, fold a piece of masking tape over the exposed ends to electrically insulate them, then push them back inside the rocket body."

Yep, that's what I was looking for.
I need to find that binder.
I'm hoping it's in the club trailer but I have no idea why I'd have put it in there.

I picked up Gelinskey's old Sea Wolf missile at his rummage sale.
Plus I have that Apache I bought from Miles, the guy who used to work at Gary's hobby shop.
They both need a little dust shaken off them.

Dust them off by flying them...
