How to unplug temperature sensor from Victron Multiplus (new style)

Hello,

I recently bought a new style Victron Multiplus, the 70A / 1600.

In a few days I'll need to take it to a fabricator and get a steel plate or frame made up, so it'll fit in the same place as the old Victron Combi, but I thought I'd take it out the box and test it first. Great! It works!

Initially I didn't connect the temperature sensor because I couldn't see how to unplug it again when needing to remove and resite the Multiplus, but I started to feel guilty about charging the batteries without it in this hot weather.

Alas, my fears were justified - I connected the temperature sensor and now can't disconnect it again! What do I do, please? It seems very firmly seized by some hidden metal pins and firm pulling has no effect.

There seem to be little orange plastic thingies below each retaining hole, which look like they might be releases, but I also had little luck pressing them with a small flatbladed screwdriver.

Can anyone advise, please?

Yes, press the orange parts with a screwdriver firmly. You normally press to open up before inserting the wires as well.
