Step-by-Step Installation Procedure (
continued from page 2 of 3
):
9. See FIGURE 7: Insert a crimped, color-coded pair of AVT sensor leads into TAP WIRE terminals.
10. See FIGURE 7: Verify fully-inserted AVT sensor leads by verifying "location mark" is flush with connector ports.
11. See FIGURE 7: Use torque-driver (T10 Torx) to tighten terminal screws to specified Torque, as listed on Connector
packaging and provided in Connector Rating Information (see below).
Connector Rating Information:
12. See FIGURE 8: Properly position Connector onto phase conductor (RUN WIRE) and keep RUN WIRE centered
with the circular recess during next step.
13. See FIGURE 8: Use torque-driver (SAE Hex) to tighten hex bolt, while keeping RUN WIRE centered with the
circular recess of opening, until the specified Torque is achieved and maintained for 5 seconds.
Specified Torque is provided on Connector packaging and in Connector Ratings Information below.
