4. Cover the insulation sleeve over the connector.
5. Apply hot air on the insulation sleeve to shrink the insulation sleeve.
Connect the Sensor
Connect the sensor by using the following steps. Connection is performed in the
same manner when using an extension cable.
1. Confirm that there are no foreign objects in the sensor (or extension cable)
and in the driver sensor input connector.
2. Connect the sensor (or extension cable) connector and the sensor input
connector, and tighten the collar by hand.
ATTENTION: Never use vinyl tape to insulate.
• During extended periods of use or when the connecter temperature
exceeds 80 °C (176 °F), vinyl electrical tape can harden or the adhesive
can deteriorate, leading to a dirty connector and faulty insulation.
• If there is not a spare insulation sleeve available, protect the connector
with a fluorine resin tape. Recommended insulation tape is:
– Manufacturer: Nitto Denko Corporation
– Product Name: Nitoflon adhesive tape (Model Number: NO. 903UL)
• Temperature spec: -60…180 °C (-76…356 °F) 0.08 mm thickness.
TIP Make sure the color band on the extension cable matches the color band on
the probe driver.
