We now offer a comprehensive kit that includes crimpers and ferrules (20 ga and 24 ga) along with our popular OLC-2 connectors, designed by our engineers with naval brass barrels, a nylon sleeve, and two set screws. This new connection method rivals the strength of gas-tight cold welds, ensuring the most reliable and long-lasting wire connections Electronics International has ever offered for your aircraft engine monitors.

Prepare the Wires: Strip the ends of the wires to the appropriate length.

Crimp the Ferrules: Place the stripped wire ends into the ferrules and use the crimper to secure them.

Insert into OLC-2: Insert the crimped ferrule ends into the OLC-2 connector and tighten the set screws.

Crimp the ferrule.

Snip off any excess wire that may be protruding through the end of the ferrule terminal.

Pull on the crimped ferrule (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that it is firmly attached to the wire.

Insert the crimped ferrule into OLC-2 and tighten with a hex wrench until the hex wrench flexes (3 inches lbs). Repeat on the opposite end to complete your connection.

Pull on wires (3 to 4lbs) to ensure that your connections on both sides of the OLC-2 are firm and secure.

Just about to begin flying with the EI MVP-50P, so no in-flight feedback yet. But I did study the user manual, then sat in my plane going through the screens, menus, etc. It was very easy and intuitive to locate everything, so I’m confident that it will become second nature to do this in flight… Very happy with all interactions with EI.
My interactions with EI were all very positive. When I ordered the Dual CGR 30 instruments I was told there would be about a 6 week delivery time. It took a little less than 4 weeks. I am extremely happy with the service and product.
While the installation is not quite done yet, I have seen the unit in my aircraft with the engine running and the monitor producing numbers. It looks very good and I cannot wait to go flying with it!
Works Great!
Outstanding Customer Service!!
Nice product and good product support!
Great product. [I chose EI because] you have no competition.
Easy installation, lightweight solution. It looks good and is easy to use. [I chose E.I. because] I needed to replace my old Hobbs meter. This provided more functionality, allowing me to remove my old digital timer, and EI programmed it to my current airframe time.
Outstanding support. From the friendly demeanor of whoever answers the phone to all the way to [their sales representative]. Your CGR-30 series is superb.
Always a pleasure to do business with EI. Products ship rapidly. I have been using your products for 20+ years.
Incredible customer service.
