Wiring Instructions

Proper Wire Connections

Please read this section of the manual before attempting to wire
the FloTech FT203P Monitor. This section recommends some
„guidelines‟ for installing the system wiring that, when done
properly, will insure a long, trouble free service life for your
equipment.
CABLE STRIPPING
FloTech recommends using FT401 seven conductor cable to
wire the Onboard Monitor System. When stripping the rubber
jacket from the cable, FloTech recommends using the FT9023
or equivalent Cable Stripper. This stripper has an adjustable
cutting blade depth setting. The depth should be set to only cut
through one-half to two-thirds of the outer jacket thickness.
This will insure that the insulation on the inner conductors is
not nicked. Any nicks or cuts in the wire insulation can, over
time, degrade the quality of the wire and lead to intermittent or
total failure.
BUTT SPLICE CONNECTIONS
FloTech recommends using the FT9022 or equivalent Crimp
Tool for securing the Butt Splice connections. Follow this
process to secure each connection:
1. Follow the Cable Stripping instructions in the previous
paragraph to expose the individual conductors of the
wire.
2. Strip the insulation back on each conductor
approximately ½ inch. Take care not to cut off any
strands of wire. If too many strands were accidentally
cut off, cut the wires flush with the insulation and strip
again.
3. Hold the two wires to be connected together by the
insulation. Tightly twist the bare wires together. This
insures a good electrical connection.
