Connector Handling
Connectors are an essential part of system reliability. They should be properly maintained and cared for
to ensure long life and reliability. It is recommended to follow these steps to help prevent damage and
increase the life of connectors.
•
Always put the cap back on the tether bulkhead when the tether is disconnected
•
Always inspect the end of the connector prior to engaging
•
Never plug in a dirty or damaged connector
•
Visually align key-ways or locating pins prior to engaging the connector
•
Always fully engage or tighten the connector
•
Secure locking collars finger tight
•
Install dummy plugs on unused connectors
•
Disconnect by pulling straight, not on an angle
•
Do not pull on the cable to disengage the connector
IMPORTANT:
Never “Hot Plug” any connector, this will result in internal damage to the
electronics. Power down the system prior to connecting the inspection system tether.
Note:
Never use WD-40 or similar solvent-based fluids on connectors or crawlers. These will cause
the rubber parts of the connector or crawler to soften and swell rendering them inoperable.
