Installation in wet area (engine compartment, wheel arch)

Apply sealing compound on both sides and press into contacts (1).

Fit heat-shrink tubing and heat up with hot air blower (2) (approx. 250 °C).

NOTE: Ensure that comb connector has sufficient contact surface on attachment point.

Do not heat-shrink tubing on edges of comb connector too strongly, risk of cracking.
