2.2 Connecting a Sensor 

To  retrofit  a  non-amplified  single  channel  sensor,  you 
will need feed the cable into the External Amplifier and 

connect the cable to the terminal block. 

Firstly, feed the sensor cable through the cable gland 
and  when  in  place,  finger  tighten  securely.  Be  sure 

there  is  enough  cable  inside  the  box  to  reach  the 
corresponding terminals. The blue wire from the sensor 

must  be  connected  to  terminal  1  and  the  green  wire 
from the sensor must be connected to terminal 2. Next 

you will need to connect the grey wire from the sensor 
to  the  white  wire  found  loose  inside  the  External 
Amplifier.  Now  feed  these  two  connected  white  and 
grey  wires  into  terminal  7  of  the  terminal  block  and 
ensure all are tightened securely. The red sensor wire 

is not connected, the end can be taped over and then 
tucked under the metal plate. Finally, once the wires are 
successfully  connected  to  the  terminal  block,  remove 

the silica packet from the plastic bag and place inside 
the box before screwing the lid securely in place.
