and

 

have

 

backwards

 

spring

 

pressure

 

holding

 

the

 

bayonet

 

in

 

place.

 

The

 

op calCON

 

connec ons

 

are

 

made

 

by

 

aligning

 

the

 

keys

 

at

 

the

NOTE:

 

Before

 

connec ng

 

the

 

cable

 

to

 

be

 

tested,

 

turn

 

the

 

unit

 

on.

 

The
