Default IMS Guardian install

I've bought an IMS Guardian off a guy in the U.S. and I'm in the process of fitting it.I've come to connect to a switch to power the IMS switch and have found there are five terminals,three in a line and two below.The install manual shows number three as being in the two together but number three, on my switch,the PSM switch,is on the row of three terminals.I'm fitting it into a U.K car and wondered if there was any difference in the terminal block numbers,I'm scared of connecting to the wrong terminal and damaging something.Any advice would be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Hi Don,the install is going well it's just that doubt about that connection.Electricity scares me,it's the work of the devil and I have visions of turning on the ignition and filling the cabin with smoke.

There are no differences in the kits we supply to US and UK markets.

Thanks for the reply FSI,I now know I've got the same kit but it looks like I should connect to terminal no.1 to follow the disc instructions.Is that correct?

Some cars will use pin#1 according to the connector, some are labeled backward. Pay attention to the picture and you'll be good.

So my best shot is to copy the video and ignore the numbers on the moulding.Thanks for your help,it's much appreciated.
