Installation Instructions

1. Preparation:
   Ensure that all components (probes, sensors, monitors) are clean and free from contamination before installation. Power should be turned off during the process.

2. Cable Routing:
   Route the extension cable away from high-voltage lines and electromagnetic noise sources. Use cable trays or conduits where appropriate.

3. Connector Engagement:
   Carefully align the MIL-style connectors and engage them fully by hand to avoid pin misalignment. Do not force or overtighten.

4. Strain Relief:
   Secure the cable with proper strain relief clamps to prevent mechanical stress on connectors and maintain signal integrity.

5. Environmental Sealing:
   If used in outdoor or high-humidity environments, apply environmental sealing at connection points to avoid moisture ingress.

6. Testing:
   Once installed, perform signal continuity and integrity tests using a Bently Nevada test system to ensure correct function.
