g)

Use the cable tie to provide strain relief for the cable to the backshell.

h)

Close the LO/sense LO connector assembly and tighten the retention screw to hold it
in place.

13. Attach output connections.

a)

Connect the triaxial cables to the module.

b)

Connect the LO/sense LO connector assembly to the module. Tighten the
thumbscrew on the connector assembly to hold it in place.

14. Ensure that the safety interlock connector is wired to a test fixture that ensures operator

safety, and prepare the safety interlock cable for insertion into the safety interlock
connector.
a)

Measure and mark your strip length on the safety interlock cable.

Note

 

The required wire strip length for the safety interlock cable is

7.5 mm (0.295 in.) minimum and 10 mm (0.394 in.) absolute maximum.
The acceptable AWG range for the safety interlock cable is 16-24.

b)

Use an insulation strip tool to expose cable of the appropriate length.

c)

The safety interlock connector accepts both solid and multi-strand conductor
cabling. If you are using a multi-stranded cable, twist the strands together before
insertion. For additional cabling reliability, strip and tin multi-stranded conductors
before insertion.

d)

Insert the cable.

e)

Inspect for loose strands and tighten any retention screws on the safety interlock
connector assembly to hold it in place.

f)

Connect the safety interlock connector to the device.

15. Power on the chassis.
16. Perform the safety interlock test.
