Two posts and the N-C wire path, with the end section of lever arm.
STEP 5:
Using the torque wrench set to the 4 inch-pound torque, tighten the screws in the posts securing
nickel-chromium wire in place. While tightening the screws, make sure to hold the posts in
alignment. Prevent the posts from turning out of the alignment, by using the 3/6” crescent wrench
applied at the flat part of the posts. If posts do move only slightly out of the alignment, it is not a
concern because each post sealed within the body of ARC unit by a rubber O-ring. Excessive
turning or twisting the posts may cause a disconnect from the internal electronic components of ARC
unit and should be avoided!
STEP 6:
Cut the excess of nickel-chromium wire, leaving about 1/8” on the side of the each post and bent
towards the unit. This will help to remove the leftovers of the nickel-chromium wire when the ARC
station has resurfaced so that it can be re-deployed.
