Step 6 – Fitting the top cap lid

1. Carefully slide the probe into the access tube, ensuring that the top of the probe seats correctly into

the grooves in the top cap. Connect the cable to the green phoenix connector on the top of the
probe. Refer to the EasyAG Hardware Manual for wiring instructions for the specific probe interface.

2. Pull the excess cable back through the cable gland. The outer sheath of the cable should be

trimmed back as far as the point where the cable enters the inside of the top cap. Apply silicone
around the wires of the cable at the end of the outer sheath, to prevent moisture from traveling along
the cable into the inside of the top cap.

3. Ensure that the sealing gasket on the top cap is clean, in good condition and positioned correctly,

and replace the lid of the top cap. Tighten the screws evenly completely to ensure an effective seal.
