1. Press connector with attached cable into sensor.
2. Guide sensor and connection cable into the cylinder.
When using third-party connectors with Temposonics
®
sensor cables,
the following conditions must be met:
• The connector and cable protection must reach IP69.
• The connectors should also enclose the cable jacket, in order to
prevent exposed conductors and to provide strain relief. Otherwise
the conductors are not sufficiently protected against external
effects.
• If a connection cable is used, use only MTS cable with overmolded
jacket end and contact MTS for the correct version.
• Make sure that the polarity is correct.
• For connectors with screw terminals, cable end sleeves should be
used to avoid short circuiting.
Apply grease to O-ring. Make sure that
the grease cannot enter cavity for sensor.

• If connectors are equipped with solder contacts, make sure that the
contacts are soldered correctly.
• Crimp contacts on connectors should be gas-tight and pressed
only using suitable tools. This is required to prevent corrosion.
When mounting connectors, make sure protection against ESD is
provided, i.e. workplaces and personnel must be protected against
electrostatic charging.
• Cable glands should be protected against damage by u-shaped steel
profiles (e.g. U-steel)
