BriteSpot™ BSG3 01.4IB.48040C B. S Figure 10 Tyco/Amp Ring Style Lugs ecure rOBe tO The most common Probe Mounting Fixture for use with the BriteSpot™ system is based on industry standard ring-style cable termination lugs. These lugs have proven to be reliable, easy to install, and virtually maintenance free.
01.4IB.48040C 4. Once the lug is mounted, the Probe can be NOTICE installed. This is simply done by inserting the probe tip into the end of the lug. Once the fixture has been put in place, follow Ensure that the head of the Probe-Lock the manufacturer's recommended torque set screw is visible and easily accessible to setting for the original hardware.
