    Attach F80-12 ferrules to the stripped ends of the sensor leads using a crimping tool.

  3. Loosen terminal screws

    Using a T10 Torx torque-driver, loosen the terminal screws on the connector to allow for the insertion of the tap wires.

  4. Insert crimped wires into terminals

    Insert the crimped, color-coded AVT sensor leads into the TAP WIRE terminals until the locating mark is flush with the connector body.

  5. Tighten terminal screws

    Use the torque-driver to tighten the terminal screws to the specified torque of 7 in-lb.

  6. Position connector onto run wire

    Align the connector with the phase conductor (RUN WIRE) and ensure it is centered in the circular recess.

  7. Tighten main fastener

    Use an SAE Hex torque-driver to tighten the main fastener to the specified torque of 40 in-lb and maintain for 5 seconds.

  8. Verify installation

    Ensure all connections are secure and that the installation complies with safety standards before energizing the circuit.
