Installation & Assembly
For extending CT leads:
- Ensure black/white wires are connected consistently. When CT leads are extended be sure to verify correct CT readings against a handheld meter to identify any bad splices.
- A maximum extension length of 100' is recommended.
Step 1: Remove the existing 2 pin CT plug from the CT lead.
Step 2: Splice in the required length of twisted pair wire. Soldering the splices is recommended. The CT extension pack or butt splice connectors are a secondary options. Wire nuts are not recommended.
Step 3: Reattach the 2 pin CT plug. Ensure the polarity on the plug is correct and connect to an eGauge sensor port as usual.
