WARNING

 All components must be positively mounted to withstand high g-load, 

shock, and vibration. In the event of high g-load, improperly mounted components 
may become detached causing serious injury or death. All components must be 
checked for safe and secure mounting before each use. 
 

CAUTION 

All connections must be hand tightened. Over tightening of connections 

may damage the internal water seal of the connector.  
 

CAUTION 

Sharp edges of zip ties or cable wraps may sever or create a short in the 

cabling. Zip ties and cable wraps must not be over tightened. 

 

All Datatoys cabling features a 4-PIN, waterproof, positive locking, male or 

female connection. Patch cables may be used to extend any Datatoys 4-PIN

interference. When cabling must cross an EMI/RF emitting line their intersection 
should perpendicular to one another. 

 
Once cabling and all other components are installed, connect the system per the
