Operation

Connecting the Vane

and jack are keyed so that the plug can only fit in the jack one way.
2. Turn the plug carefully until it lines up with the jack and then firmly push the plug in
place. Do not apply undue force or try to twist the plug side-to-side.

will indicate OL in place of a Temperature reading.
