position the enlarged positioning section of the
sensor against the the side of the mounting clamp.
NOTE
The P5 Pre-Trip test must be run to inactivate
the alarm (refer to section 3.2.1).

6.23.4 C hecking Sensor (AMBS or DTS)
a. Turn unit OFF and disconnect power supply.
b. Refer to section 6.27 for removal of the Controller
module.
AMBS or DTS:
Using the plug connector marked “EC” that is
connected to the Controller module. Locate the wires
marked AMBS or DTS, depending on which sensor
needs to be replaced. Follow that wire to the connector
and using the pins of the plug, measure the ohms
resistance. Readings are shown in Table 6-1.
6.23.5 Replacing Sensor (AMBS or DTS)
a. Turn unitpower OFF and disconnect powersupply.
b. Cut wires to 25.4 cm (10 inches) from the back of
the mounting stud of the defective sensor and
discard.
c. Cut one of the two wires from step b 25. 4 mm (1.0
inch) shorter than the other wire.
d. Cut onereplacement sensor wire back25.4 mm (1.0
inch). (S ee Figure 6-25.)
e. Strip back insulation on all wiring 6.35mm (1/4
inch).

f. Slide two small pieces of heat shrink tubing over
each wire before adding crimp fittings as shown in
Figure 6-26.
g. Slip crimp fittings over dressed wires. Make sure
wires are pushed into crimp fittings as far as
possible and crimp with crimping tool.
h. Solder spliced wires with a 60% tin and 40% lead
Rosincore solder.
i. Slide heat shrink tubing over splice so that both
ends oftubing coverboth ends ofcrimp as shownin
Figure 6-26.

j. Heat tubing,preferably withaflamelessheat gun.If
not available, a propane torch will work (caution
shouldbe takennot toburnt he heat shrinktubingor
wire insulation). Make sure all seams are sealed
tightly against the wiring to prevent m oisture
seepage.
CAUTION
Do not allow moisture to enter wire splice
area as this may affect the sensor resistance.
k. Secure sensor to unit and check sensor resistanceas
detailed i n section 6.23.4.
NOTE
The DTS sensor must have “Presstite”
insulating material placed completely over the
sensor to insure proper function of the sensor.
