A FEW NOTES BEFORE GETTING STARTED
The instrument/cable connectors, bulkhead ports, and sensor connector ends are not wet-
mateable and can become damaged if they come into contact with moisture.
Never connect the
cable connector to the handheld unit, or install a sensor if they are wet!
Carefully follow
sensor tightening instructions during installation. If any resistance is felt during any tightening
(sensor, sensor guard, port plug), stop tightening, loosen nut or guard, and start again.
