11. Immediately, using your thumb, apply firm pressure to the
taped gage by rolling your thumb over the gage area. Hold
the pressure for at least one minute. In low humidity
conditions (below 30%) or if ambient temperature is below
+ 70
F, pressure application time may have to be
extended to several minutes.
12. Leave the mylar tape on an additional five minutes to
allow total drying then slowly peel the tape back directly
over itself, holding it close to the shaft while peeling. This
will prevent damage to the gages. It is not necessary to
remove the tape immediately after installation. It offers
some protection for the gaged surface and may be left
until wiring the gage.
WIRING THE GAGE
13. Tin each solder pad with a solder dot. (It is helpful to
polish the solder tabs, e.g. with a fiberglass scratch brush
or mild abrasive, before soldering.) Trim and tin the ends
of the 4-conductor ribbon wire. Solder the lead wires to the
gage by placing the tinned lead onto the solder dot and
pressing it down with the hot soldering iron. Note: For
single-stamp torque gages, a short jumper is required
between solder pads 2 and 4 as shown in the diagram on
the next page
14. Use the
rosin solvent
to clean excess solder rosin from
the gage after wiring. Brush the gage pads with the
solvent and dab with a clean tissue.
15. Paint the gage area (including the solder pads) with
M-
Coat A polyurethane
and allow to air dry 15 minutes.
This protects the gage from moisture and dirt. To further
protect the gage, cover with a 1.5 inch square patch of
rubber sheet
and a piece of M-Coat FA-2
aluminum foil
tape
(optional) then wrap with electrical tape.
