Connecting the Sensor Head Cable
It is important that the head cable be connected properly to the sensor head. Follow
these guidelines:
l
There is a gasket in the head cable connector that should be compressed when
the cable is connected. When tightening the connector, wiggle and push the
connecter while tightening to compress the gasket.
l
Provide a loose bend radius to allow the cable to absorb the energy of the bend-
ing over a greater portion of its length. Use a minimum bend radius of 5 times
the cable diameter. For the head cable, this is a 1.75” (4.5 cm) minimum bend
radius (or 3.5” (9 cm) minimum loop width).
l
When tying cables with cable ties, leave the ties loose enough for the cables to
slide freely under the tie. Never overtighten the tie to the point where the cable
jacket becomes pinched.
