Gage Handling and Cable Support

After removing the gage and its protective window from the pouch in the plastic box, hold the gage/cable assembly by the cable bundle. Release a comfortable working length of cable and place the gage on a chemically clean surface. Temporarily secure the remainder of the bundle before removing the gage from its protective window with a pair of M-LINE BTW-1 Blunt-nosed Tweezers .

Apply a strip of M-LINE PCT-2A Cellophane Tape to the gage face. This transfer tape should be applied in the direction transverse to the leadwires.



When ready to bond the gage, carefully lift the tape from the surface at a shallow angle. Unsecure the cable bundle and hold the gage/tape assembly by the bundle when moving it to the installation site.
