4. Phone Jacks (RJ11/RJ45 Connectors):
RJ connectors, as shown in Figure 11, are similar to the
telephone connectors found in homes. In order to remove
this plug from the jack, depress the small clip on the
underside of the plug.
Before replacing an RJ connector, spray it with DeoxIT
™
contact cleaner to remove any foreign matter that may
cause signal problems. In addition, apply a generous
amount of CaiLube
™
protector paste to the plug before
inserting it into the jack. This paste will protect both the
plug and the jack from corrosion.

Connectors:
The white Mate-n-Lok connectors found in the displays
come in a variety of sizes. Figure 12 illustrates a five-pin
Mate-n-Lok connector. To remove the plug from the jack,
squeeze the plastic locking clasps on the side of the plug
and pull it from the jack.
6. Quick Connect Jack:
The display uses quick connect jacks for the connection of
the signal termination enclosure and the temperature
sensor. There is one quick connect input board with
three input jacks. The board is located on the back of
the display, and when the jacks are not used, the
attached dust cover should be kept closed.
