FloTech Programmable CheckMate Retain / Overfill Monitor
4. Fill a FloTech Butt Splice with Silicone RTV compound.
Insert the twisted wires into the filled splice. Check to see
that the bare wires are fully inserted into the splice and
RTV. Make certain that NO bare wire is protruding from
the splice.
5. Securely crimp the wires into the butt splice.
6. Give the splice and the wires a „tug‟ to make sure you have
a good mechanical connection.
TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS
Follow this process to secure each connection:
1. Strip approximately 3/8 inch of insulation back from the
end of the wires.
2. Tightly twist the strands of wire together.
3. Rotate the terminal block screws counter-clockwise a few
turns to relieve pressure on the wire retainer.
4. Insert the bare wire end into the terminal block.
5. While holding the wire in place, rotate the terminal screw
clockwise to tighten the wire retainer.
6. Once fully tightened, give the wire a slight „tug‟ to insure
that a proper connection has been made.
