connection can be unplugged. If applying dielectric grease, ensure that it is kept out of contact with
the electrical prongs and receptacles to avoid a poor electrical connection.
One of the male prongs on the DTS-12 end cap has a larger diameter than the other two. This larger
diameter prong must be aligned with the two reference nipples on the cable connector (as shown in
the connection photos) to ensure that the prongs are inserted into the correct receptacles. Forcing
insertion into the wrong position will permanently damage the connection. Aggressive twisting can
also result in bending and breaking prongs.

Use clean dielectric grease to lubricate the
DTS-12 End Cap

Keep the End Cap Prongs and Cable
Connection Receptacles dry
DO NOT:
