ply. To do this:

1. Align the pins in the Minox i electrical signal connector with the M12 mating connector on 

the cable. 

The cable connector can then be gently pushed into place.

2. Rotate the fastener clockwise until finger tight. Your Minox i oxygen transmitter is now 

connected. A pulsing red LED will indicate it is operating correctly.

 

A suitable galvanic isolation barrier is required if the Minox

i is located in an Ex area.

Consult the EC-type examination certificate Baseefa19atex0200

for Parameter Matching.
