V1.05 UL

Step 4

: Connect the wires to the aerosol generator terminal block. Then pull the cable back until the

edge of the cable jacket is showing in the activator housing (see illustration below)

Step 5

: While holding the cable in place to prevent it from turning, reattach the activator housing to

the generator.

Step 6

: Put silicone inside of the cable gland connector in order to seal it.
