1. Strip approximately 1.5 inches of the cable jacket from the end of the probe/sensor cable to expose the
four (4) wires inside (power, signal ground and shield).
NOTE: When stripping cables and wires do not cut so deep as to nick the wiring inside the jacket material.
2. There are four (4) wires inside the probe/sensor cable.
o The Blue wire is the Power connection
o The Brown wire is the Signal connection
o The Black wire and Braided Shield are the Ground
3. Strip 0.5 inch of jacket material from the ends of the Blue, Brown and Black wires.
4. Strip approximately 1.5 inches of the cable jacket from the end of the Home-run cable (Belden 88760
or 88761) to expose the three (3) wires inside (Red = Power, Black = Signal, Braided Shield =
Ground).
5. Strip one-half inch of jacket material from the ends of the Red and Black wires.
6. Place a wire tie wrap around both of the stripped cables about 1 inch from the end of the cable jackets.
Pull the tie snug and cut the excess tie material at the clamp.
7. Connect the Power, Signal and Grounds of the probe/sensor cable to the Power, Signal and Ground of
the Home-run cable together using the three (3) supplied wire nuts.
o Twist the ends of the exposed wires together
o Insert the twisted wires into the end of the wire nut
o Turn the nut clockwise several turns until the wires are firmly attached
NOTE: Refer to the wiring diagrams in the manual for specific information on probe/sensor wiring.
8. Fold one of the fastened wire nuts back as shown in the photo. This will allow the entire wire nut
assembly to fit completely into the epoxy bag.
9. Prepare the epoxy resin sealpack.
o Bend the sealpack until the barrier between the two resins weakens
o Thoroughly mix the two (2) resins together for approximately two (2) minutes. The mixed epoxy
will become warm to the touch.
o Push all of the mixed resin to the bottom of the bag
o Cut and tear the top of the bag to open
10. Insert the wire-nut assembly all the way into the bottom of the bag. Fold the bag tightly around the tied
cables. Attach a second tie wrap around the bag just above the tie wrap holding the wires (this will
prevent the wire-nut assembly from slipping out of the bag).
Move the epoxy around to thoroughly cover all of the wires and wire nuts inside the bag. This will provide a
secure, waterproof electrical connection and prevent corrosion of the wiring connections.
