Hi All,
I am about 95% done on building my MendelMax 1.5 and now need to wire up my Heated Bed. This is a flexible 12v silicone mat which has 6 wires coming out of it, two of the wires (black) are the Thermistor and the other four wires are for the heating element(s), the problem is all of these wires are red and there is no indication as to how they relate to each other, from what I can gather, it's not just a case of two wires soldered onto a solder-pad, it actually looks like there are four individual solder-pads (see picture below):

I have searched and searched for any information as to the wiring for this heated bed, but to no avail, could anyone please tell me, if I number the red wires (from left to right) as 1, 2, 3 & 4; do I connect 1&2 to 12v and 3&4 to earth OR 1&3 to 12v and 2&4 to earth OR some other combination?
Thanks in advance,
Glenn
