CEM3 Sensor Rack Retrofit Manual

Attach new power harness

1:

Clip the first zip tie, attaching the power harness to the enclosure, behind the existing J1 power 
connector to give the harness more room to move while you work.

2:

Install the power adapter harness to the edge connector (straight thru PCB) and then to the old 
power connector (be sure the wire colors match on both sides of the joined connectors).

3:

Secure the power connectors together with the provided 4" (102 mm) zip ties. Clip the zip tie 
ends for neatness.

4:

Center the provided 4 1/2” (114 mm) x 2” (51 mm) diameter heat shrink 
tubing over the power harness connectors (leaving at least 1 1/4” (32 mm) 
past each connector).

5:

Contract the heat shrink using a heat gun.

 

6:

While the heat shrink is still soft, secure both ends using one of the provided 
zip ties on each end.

7:

Tuck the power harness connection bundle between the bus bar and the enclosure wall.

8:

Route the green ground wire behind the bus bar, between the enclosure wall and existing wires, 
and land it at an open terminal on any existing grounding bus in the enclosure using a square 
drive or Phillips screwdriver.

9:

Use a zip tie to secure the ground wire to the wire bundle as it protrudes from the heat shrink.

CAUTION:

A butane torch is not acceptable to shrink the large heat 

shrink. You must use a heat gun.
