Use the screwless terminal connector (8 poles) provided. One block contains four
channels of terminals. Connect the SENSING terminal directly to the separator in
order from cell 1.

If you want to measure the performance at the electrode terminal, connect to it.
Use AWG24 wires. The recommended amount of covering to be stripped is
approximately 10 mm. Using the strip gauge shown in Fig.2-9 will ensure proper
work.
• Check the rated temperature of the wires that you are using. Pay close attention
for fuel cells that operate at high temperatures. Even for fuel cells that run at
relatively low temperatures such as a PEFC, the collecting electrode where the
wire is connected may be hot.
