1.4 The EM1500 and its Tool Kit
The EM1500 is packaged in a small, heavy duty metal enclosure. Included with the EM1500 unit is a
small plastic bag labeled 151-0124 that contains:
• One 9 pin positive latch crimp housing
• One 3 pin positive latch crimp housing
• 20 pieces of crimp terminals
The EM1500 ships without cables, power or documentation. All cables, etc., for use with the unit are pack-
aged in the EM1500 Tool Kit, which may be purchased separately. The cables in the Tool Kit may also be
puchased separately using the part numbers shown in the table below. Initially you will probably want to
purchase a Tool Kit. With subsequent purchases of EM1500s you may or may not want the additional
cables and manuals, so you have the option of just getting the EM1500 with the crimp housings and termi-
nals.
Here are the cables that will be in the EM1500 Tool Kit:
