Strip two and a half inches of the outer insulation from the cut end of the sensor lead
wire. Use care to prevent cutting or nicking the braided shielding beneath the jacket.
CAUTION: When stripping the shield, avoid nicking or cutting the
insulation of the two conductors within the lead.
7.
Mark the remaining wire shield two inches from the lead wire cut end. Carefully slice
the braided shielding from the two inch mark to the end (Figure 10-37) of the wire.
The wire should resemble Figure 10-38
Figure 10-37.

CAUTION: While stripping the wire shield, avoid nicking or cutting
the insulation of the two conductors within the lead.

Trim the excess braided shielding to the two inch mark with the small shears.

Carefully inspect the insulation of each wire for nicks or cuts. If nicks or cuts are
found, either cut out the nicked portion of wire and splice the wire or trim the lead
wire to remove the damaged section.
10.
After confirming the entire lead wire is intact and continuous, free of nicks or cuts,
smooth the cut edge of the braided wire shielding by carefully rolling it between your
thumb and index finger until the braided wire shielding edge resembles Figure 10-39.
