Preparing and Wiring the Cables

To prepare and connect cable leads and drain wires, follow these steps:

1.

At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose individual wires.

2.

Trim signal wires to 5–inch lengths beyond the cable casing. Strip about 3/16 inch 
(4.76 mm) of insulation to expose the ends of the wires.

3.

At the module–end of the cables: 

 

- extract the drain wire and signal wires

 

- remove the foil shield

 

- bundle the input cables with a cable strap

4.

Connect drain wires together and solder them to a 3/8” wire braid, 12” long. Keep 
drain wires as short as possible.

5.

Connect the 3/8” wire braid to the nearest chassis mounting bolt.

6.

Connect the signal wires of each channel to the terminal block. 

Signal Wires

Extract the drain wire but 
remove the foil shield, at 
the module-end of the 
cable.

Drain Wire

Signal Wires

Remove the foil shield 
and drain wire from 
sensor-end of the cable
