6.0: PIE / Probe Connections
6.1: PIE / Probe Connections
To aid installation, the probe and PIE may be separated.
Two connection styles are used. In order to maintain the
calibration, it is important the PIE and probe head identities
match. Labels are provided on cables to ensure the PIE
can be matched with the corresponding probe head.
Pin to Pin Connection
Pull the in-line connections apart (handling the end of the
connector only) and, at the same time, carefully slide back
the sleeve to aid removal.
To reconnect, push the pin and socket together, feeling for
the pin and socket making contact before finally pushing
them together.
Alternatively, slide the sleeve back to expose the
connector. Push the pin and socket together and
then slide the sleeve back into position
.
Gently pull the ends of the sleeve to stretch it slightly.
This puts a little tension into the sleeve and helps to
pull the connector pins together.
When the probe is installed, ensure that the wires
are not under tension. The connection method does
not provide a positive locking. It is recommended that
wires and cables are clamped or restrained in order
to prevent the connectors being put under tension.
