As shown in Figure 8, route the blue cables along the sides of the manipulators. Use the cable clamps to
firmly secure the cables to the manipulators. Make sure the clamps are tight enough to keep the cables from
moving.
•
Connect a black jumper from one cable assembly to the other. This jumper (shown in Figure 8) connects the
commons of the two cable assemblies together. The jumper plugs into the ends of the assembly blocks. It is
good practice to install the second jumper. It not only improves the connection, but it is a good place to store
the extra jumper. Figure 9 shows another view of the jumper.

•
Connect the cable wires of the cable assemblies to the APT probe tips, as shown in Figure 9.
•
Figure 9 shows an example of good routing for the jumper and cable wires. When routing the wires,
consider the possible movements of the manipulators.
•
Connect the triax to triax cables to the triax connectors on the prober bulkhead (see Figure 7). Connect the
other ends of the triax cables to the prober cable assemblies using the supplied triax female to triax female
adapters.
