With a sufficient opening, the sensor flex tail can be fed through the housing and the
metal shield reattached.
Note:
If a hole is drilled in the metal shield to accommodate the sensor flex tail, be sure
to fold back the edges or install a grommet so that the flex tail does not fray on the sharp
edges. Ensure that no metal filings fall into the electronic circuits.
Note:
When routing the sensor flex tail through the metal shield and rear display cover,
be careful to avoid the inverter and other high noise sources.
Modifying the Display (USB or Serial)
1.
Select a location on the rear of the display’s cover for the sensor connections. Note
that a serial or USB bulkhead connector and harness may also be used. You need to
be able to thread the cable from outside the display in through the opening.
2.
Use a center punch to place a dimple at the selected location.
3.
Drill a hole using a 3/4-inch spade bit as shown below. Be sure to keep metal filings
away from the electronic PCBs.
