Double the wires.
Double Crimp
E) Place a male connector on the red wire and a female connector on the yellow wire. Double crimp these
connectors. A good crimp is very important. Poor crimps will cause jumpy readings and are the biggest
source of problems.
Yellow Precision Connector
A) Strip the over braid back 3 1/2". Be careful not to nick the wires. Shrink a piece of 1" heat shrink over
the cut portion of the over braid.
B) Remove the yellow cap on the Precision Female Connector.
C) Strip the insulation from the wires back 1/2".
D) Connect the yellow lead of the Extension Cable to the terminal marked “+” and the red lead to the other
terminal. The insulation on these wires should almost touch the mounting screws. Replace the yellow cap on
the Female Precision Connector. Be careful not to overtighten any screws or twist the wires when installing
the connector.
Plug each probe into its associated Extension Cable. Be sure the connectors mate properly. When tie
wrapping these cables down, be sure there is no strain or pull on the cable against the probe or connec-
tors. Dress each cable up to the instrument keeping them away from any hot areas such as exhaust stacks,
cylinder heads, etc.
