2. unscrew the terminal compartment using the special wrench provided,
3. use the top cable entry port for the power supply (see “Principal gauge components”),

EMI (electromagnetic interference) effects,
5. use a reinforced cable for the outputs,
6. do not cross or loop wires in the signal converter wiring box,
