6.1 Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA):
The MVP-50T Instructions for Continued Airworthiness are listed in EI document 06201101 Rev A (or latter FAA
approved revision). If you need additional copies of the ICA contact Electronics International at (541) 318-6060 or

6.2 Airworthiness Limitations:
The Airworthiness Limitations are listed in the MVP-50T ICA Doc. 06201101 Rev A (or latter FAA approved
revision). If you need additional copies of the ICA contact Electronics International at (541) 318-6060 or

6.3 Working With Connectors:
The single biggest problem seen with installations is poor crimps. Even installers with many years of experience can
produce poor crimps and do not know how to evaluate a crimp. The more sophisticated the connector, the bigger the
burden is on the installer to find a good crimper and produce a reliable crimp.
If the instructions listed below are followed, a reliable crimp can be achieved with almost any terminal crimper. DO
NOT use pliers, cutters or any other tool that was not designed to crimp terminal connectors. It will NOT produce a
long-term reliable crimp and eventually you will have problems.
The real key to achieving a long-term reliable crimp is to PREPARE the wire correctly, produce a TIGHT crimp and
TEST the crimp. Another factor, which we have covered for you, is to use a quality connector made of material with
long-term spring tension. This is most important when crimping connectors onto thermocouple (TC) wire. TC wire is
strong and does not form like tin copper wire.
It is very easy to produce a good crimp. Unfortunately, it is just as easy to produce a bad one. Read the instructions
below. A proper crimp will produce a reliable connection for a lifetime.
6.3.1 Installing the Over-Lap Connector onto Copper or TC Wire:
The OLC-1 connector bonds the two mating wires together in a gas-tight, cold-weld style junction. This is
done by overlapping the wires and tightening a setscrew. Since the wires are overlapped and no dissimilar
metals are introduced, the OLC-1 can be used as a precision connector. Use the OLC-1 on 20 gauge wire
(or smaller) and where extreme reliability is required. Follow the instructions that come with the OLC-1
connectors.
