Product Information
The eGauge CT Extension Kit is a solution that enables the extension of up to
five CTs up to 100 feet from the eGauge device.
It eliminates the need to manually extend CT leads, reducing the chances of
wiring issues.
Installation Instructions
- Slide the splicing connectors into the mounting carriers by inserting them behind the arrow and gently sliding forward until they click into place.
- Remove the 2-pin connector from the CT lead and prep the lead to a strip length of 11mm (0.43 inches).
- Insert one of the stripped wire ends into one end of an inline splicing connector.
- Lift the lever to insert the CT lead and lower the lever to secure the connection.
- Use one inline connector per lead wire, using two inline connectors and one carrier to extend a single CT lead.
- Strip the ends of the extension wiring to the appropriate length and connect to the other side of the inline splicing connectors in the same way.
- Attach the green 2-pin CT connector to the other end of the CT extension wiring and plug into the eGauge, ensuring consistency in black and white wiring throughout.
- Ensure all connections are securely seated under the closed levers by giving the wires a light pull after assembly.
FAQ
Q: Can I connect multiple carriers together?
