5.  Take the two wire ties. One goes around the wires as a strain relief. The other goes near the 
thermister (about 3/8” away from the head) to hold the thermister against the tube. CAUTION: 1) 
Do not place the tie wrap over the thermister tip as this may crack the thermister, and 2) 
Do not over-tighten the wire ties. 
6.  Check the resistance across the thermister leads. Under room temperature conditions the value 
should be between 700 - 1100 ohms. A further check may be to compare the resistance 
measurement to the other two thermisters. If all thermisters have been exposed to the same 
temperature they should be within 50 ohms. 
7.  Wire tie the thermister harnesses together and connect into the thermister harness that goes 
back to the control board. 
8.  Perform a test of the unit. Refer to SM500-16 ‘Testing the RV500’.
