each air cap’s lower groove (20). Insert the caps (20) into the air connector (13),
do not p sh them in all of the way. P sh the caps in j st so far that the bottoms
of the top grooves are fl sh with the s rro nding s rface. Slide the plate (17) into
place between the grooves in the caps and tighten the screw (25) that
connects the plate to the air connector by twisting it clockwise. Make s re the
screw (19) and its holder (18) are sec red to the plate before proceeding.
Heater Strut and Air Connector Installation
It is easiest to place replace the contact spring (9) at this step by sing tweezers
or a pick to place it in the inner-most groove at the top of the heater. Slide the
heater str t (23) into the probe t bing (24), g iding the calibration t be thro gh
the hole in the tip of the heater and holes on the str t. Be caref l not to twist or
force the heater str t into the probe or damage to the calibration t bing may
occ r. Once the heater is f lly inserted, flip the heater over, add high-
temperat re anti-seize grease to the contactor n t (8) and install it in the tip of
the probe by twisting special service tool M1234HD-A clockwise sing a
screwdriver in its end to tighten it (technically, this sho ld be torq ed to 106 inch-
po nds, b t this is not too critical, j st make s re it is sn g). Now, flip the probe
back over and feed the wires of the probe thro gh the large air connector (13)
opening. The side with the two small holes sho ld be going down on the probe
where the calibration t bes will seat themselves into the air connector. Tighten
the plate screw (19) f lly by t rning it clockwise into the hole at the end of the
heater str t ntil the air connector (13) cannot move. Replace the o-ring (14) on
the top of the air connector’s s rface. Make s re to replace the sleeve (12) if it
was removed with its notched side facing the air connector. The j nction box
(16) may now be fitted to the top of the air connector (13), caref lly feeding the
probe wires thro gh the j nction box. Reattach the fo r sets of bolts (10) and
washers (11) thro gh the small probe flange to connect the j nction box (16)
and air connector (13) to the probe. Slide the bolt cover (12) back p the probe
with the c to t portion on the air connector’s port holes and sec re it by t rning
the two screws (15) clockwise into the air connector. Replace the heater wires
on the lower terminal block (27) sing screws (31) at terminals seven and eight
(no need to pay attention to polarity). The pper terminal block (26) may now
be re-installed sing screws (28) with spacers (29) in the pper-left and lower-
right corners. Ens re that the (-) CELL wire at terminal two is bridged to the
pper-left screw, also ens re that the RJC (30) body is gro nded at the lower-
right screw. Using screws (31), attach the (+) CELL wire on the terminal one on
the pper terminal block (26), attach the sheathed (+) TC wire at terminal three,
