RE: [FlyRotary] Re: Joining thermocouple extension leads

If this is for your EM2 (and I should have guessed this last time) then here is how I did it;

    I ordered all items from Omega;

    • 16 terminal barrier strip  part #BS16
    • Barrier strip jackets  #BSJ-K
    • Barrier strip jackets  #BSJ-J
    • Multi pair extension cable  #4KX24SPP
    • Multi pair extension cable  #4JX24SPP

    I used the J & K type multi pair extension cable to run from the EM2 to a terminal panel mounted on my engine mount, where I located the barrier strip with the J & K type barrier strip jackets. This is the junction point for the TC's. From here my TC wires run to various points. The K TC's are permanently run to  measure 4 EGT points, but the J TC's are used to measure various other points, so this barrier strip arrangement allows me to easily change these TC connections without having to mess with the EM2 connectors.

            The multi-pair extension cable is expensive and the website says that there is a minimum order amount of 25' which would make it's use prohibitively expensive, however the order page allowed me to input 5' of each type and they delivered and charged me for only that amount. It worked out very well making a neat & convenient installation.
