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.

Much better quality with the bezel and buttons and knobs [vs. competition]. Also much easier to navigate and add fuel.
Well documented installation process and Support was helpful.
Outstanding customer attitudes; prior experience said you’re the right company to do business with.
Easy to install and everything you need inside package. Good price, nice instrument and simple to use.
Really impressed thus far . . . . a rock solid replacement for old mechanical gauges.
Easy install and great gauges. Previous experience showed that EI’s units were… great prices and even better instruments. Being able to install the gauge as a primary instrument was a major plus.
Works Great! Love it!
Simple and Easy.
I won a FP-[5]L and had it installed in my c150. I was/am impressed with the accuracy and ease of operation of the FP. I wanted a new tach and I trust (and verified) that the EI R-1… would be my best choice. I am not a rich man. These instruments are affordable and incredibly accurate. Already planning my next buy from EI.
EI representatives… have been very helpful, truthful, and knowledgeable… We had no idea, that a few weeks later [after our purchase], we would need to have a Top Overhaul. What great timing! Having your engine monitor installed in our plane will hopefully help us keep it out of the shop for further engine repairs.
Very complete and thorough packaging. Well-prepped wiring harnesses. Quick and efficient turnaround time. Great communication throughout the process.
