10 CEM3 Sensor+ Portable Pack Retrofit Manual
Attach New Power Harness
The upgrade kit contains a power wire harness adapter that
will connect to the old backplane power connector.
Step 1: Connect the power wire harness adapter to the
old power connector. The connectors are keyed
and will only fit together one way. Make sure the
connector seats firmly and the retaining clip snaps
in place on the adapter.
Step 2: Leave the green ground wire running out of the
pack; you will connect it to the CEM3 backplane
in a later step.
Install CEM3 Backplane
Step 1: Bend one arm of the backplane metal in towards
the opposite arm (about 30 deg). Bend the metal
as little as possible to get it inside the pack.
Step 2: Insert the backplane metal at an angle. Then
straighten it once it is past the face of the pack.
Step 3: Once in place, insert the clips on the arms into their
respective locations in the pack metal and then
slide the backplane forward so that the clips stay in
place. The backplane is far enough forward when
the screw holes in the upper corners are visible.Do
not insert the screws yet as you may need to partially remove the backplane in a
later step
Grounding the power harness
On the rear of the backplane, you will find an open screw hole near the bottom of the metal,
between the CAT5 connector and the blue DMX connector.This is the intended location for
landing the green ground wire from the power wire harness adapter.
a: Cut the power wire harness adapter’s ground wire to an appropriate length
(approx. 8”) to connect to the open screw hole. Strip 1/2” of the 18 gauge wire
jacketing to expose bare wire for the next step.
b: Connect the provided ring crimp connector (ETC Part# J434) to the bare end
of the ground wire using a T&B ERG2001 or WT112M hand tool.
