Installing the instrument

Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument.  Drill the 2
holes using a 5 mm (

/

4

") drill for the two pin bolts. Use a 63 mm (2½") hole saw to

machine the clearance hole for the instrument connection socket. Remove the
template.

  Screw the two pinbolts to the instrument

  Put the instrument in place

  Screw the two nuts from the back

Note! The two nuts must just be tighten by hand

  Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to

the instrument.

  If you want to cut the Nexus Network cable to

length, disconnect 4-pole jack plug and cut the
cable. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of the cable
insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3
isolated wires (the 4th wire is an earth / screen).
Attach the 4 cable protectors to the wires using a
pair of flat pliers.

  Connect the 4 cable protectors to the 4-pole jack

plug as shown. Apply silicon paste on all locations
as shown.

Note: Must be done to avoid corrosion.
