5. Terminal Strips
The AM25T is housed in an anodized aluminum case with a cover that helps
reduce temperature gradients across the terminal strips (FIGURE
).

(Screw Terminal Strips)
The terminal strips that run the length of the AM25T are for sensor
connections. All inputs are protected by spark gaps. All terminals accept
stripped and tinned wires up to AWG wire gauge 16. A strain-relief flange is
located between the input terminals.
Starting with serial number 10147, the AM25T uses spring-loaded terminals
for attaching wires (FIGURE
). To attach a wire, use a small flat-head
screwdriver to push the white spring release next to the terminal the wire is
being attached to. Insert the wire into the terminal, then remove the
screwdriver.
