d. Use a pencil to mark locations of spring clip
on ceramic rod, Figure A-22.
e. Pry or squeeze tabs on spring clips, and pull
contact and thermocouple assembly out of
probe assembly. Retain spring clips and
spring; replace if damaged.
Be very careful when handling contact
and thermocouple assembly. The ce-
ramic rod in this assembly is fragile.
f. While very carefully handling new contact
and thermocouple assembly, lay old as-
sembly next to new one. Transfer pencil
marks to new rod.

g. Note wire lengths of old assembly as an aid
for trimming new lengths in step (j). Trim-
ming of wires will not always be necessary.
Throw away old contact and thermocouple
assembly.
h. Carefully guide new contact and thermo-
couple assembly through V-strut assembly
leaf spring (4, Figure A-23), spring (9),
spring clip (10) (held open by squeezing
tabs), and tube supports (11, 13) until
spring clip reaches pencil mark.
i. Reinstall insulating gasket on backplate, re-
place two screws, O-rings, lockwashers and
flat washers connecting probe junction box
to inner probe assembly.
Do not trim new wiring shorter than
existing (old) wiring. Excessive wire
trim will prevent connections from
being properly made and will require a
new replacement kit.
j. Trim wires, if necessary, as noted in
step (g).
k. Connect color coded wires to proper termi-
nals as shown in Figure A-18. Rosemount
recommends connecting the thermocouple
wires directly to the terminal strip. This is
because the junction of different metals at
the wires and lugs and at the lugs and the
