This Engine Monitoring Unit product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. Within this period, LXNAV will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use.
2 Technical Data 2.1 Inputs 2.1.1 Analog inputs 1-4 Engine monitoring unit features 4 fully configurable analog inputs for: Voltage sensors: 0-5V Resistive: European, ABYC (US) and Asian standards Current output sensor 4-20mA All of the analog inputs have an internal switchable pullup resistor to 5V, thereby relieving the user of manual resistor installation.

3.3 Connector kit This chapter guides you through crimping the correct wires into the EMU connectors provided. Tools needed: Crimping pliers (recommended Engineer PA-01) Wire stripper Signal connector kit Power connector kit Figure 2: Sensor connection kit Figure 2 shows the contents of the sensor connection kit. It contains: Male and female connector housing 8 crimp contacts for each connector (blade and socket) Watertight grommets...
3.4 Crimping and inserting wires Step 1: Strip wires. Stripped length should be somewhere around 5mm Step 2: Insert the crimp contact into the crimping pliers (die head 0.5mm) and gently grip the contact so that it stays put. Note that the pliers must only “grab” the grip shell on the crimp contact.

The result should look like the picture below Step 5: Now the crimp the insulating shell (see picture above – in the green box). Insert the crimped wire into the INS portion (or >2.5mm die size of a crimping plier) and apply pressure to the crimping tool.

Step 6: Pull the watertight grommet over the crimped contact like shown on the picture below: Step 7: Insert the crimped contact with the watertight grommet into the appropriate connector housing. Page 11 of 14...

Make sure that you hear a click sound and the grommet slides all the way inside (see picture below). Repeat Step 1 through Step 7 until all of the connection are wired. Final step: Insert the end cap into the connector so that it lines up with the outer shell. Page 12 of 14...
