Splitting Lead Wires to Prevent CALPlex Water Damage
June 21, 2022
When testing with a wired data collection system in a water retort, there can sometimes be an issue where the pressure inside the retort forces water through the lead wire insulation, and can even reach the CALPlex (which may affect performance). To eliminate this, we recommend that you cut away the exterior insulation and "split" or separate the red and blue wires from each other. This allows the water to drip out and exit before it reaches the CALPlex.
