2.6.1 Connecting a Standard Probe
The probe must be connected to the MTS6 with a continuous run of GE
two-wire shielded cable . When connecting the probe, protect the cable from
excessive strain (bending, pulling, etc.) and avoid subjecting the cable to
temperatures above 65°C (149°F) or below –50°C (–58°F).
Note:
Standard factory-assembled cables are available from GE in lengths
up to 600 meters (2000 feet).

To connect the probe cable, refer to Figure 25 on page 19 and Figure 29 and
Figure 30 on page 22, and complete the following steps:
1.
Insert the end of probe cable with the bayonet-type connector onto the
probe and twist the shell clockwise until it snaps into a locked position
(approximately 1/8 turn).
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the power is off before proceeding.
2.
Connect the end of the probe cable with the three leads to the lower
terminal block (pins 16, 17 and 18) on the back of the
MTS6
