IELD
Once the system and communication have been configured in the office or
warehouse, installation in the field will be straightforward. See ICM0062 for detailed
instructions.
2.2.1
Cleaning Connectors
Keep caps on connectors (Figure 2-3) until mated to the next sensor to prevent
contamination. Store the caps in a clean, dry location for future use.
Any dirt within the connectors may cause water ingress and cause an entire
string of IPIs to fail.
