The Orbit Network has been designed to meet EMC requirements EN50081-1 for emissions and
EN50082-1 for immunity when properly installed. The T-CON case should be connected to a good elec -
trical ground. The mounting option using the captive nuts is the preferred method. Ensure screws make
good contact with the mounting surface. If the mounting option using plastic feet is used paint should be
removed from the T-CON base pads to ensure good electrical contact with mounting surfaces.
Cable
The Gage Head cable is custom made to achieve the optimum balance between flexibility, flex life,
chemical resistance, abrasion resistance electrical and electrical screening.
To minimise transducer failure due to cable damage cable runs should be positioned well clear of moving
components and vulnerable working areas. If the cable is in a flex situation then a minimum bend radius
of 150 mm should be maintained, the vacuum and pneumatic options should not be flexed from the
transducer cable entry, but should be anchored separately at a position of 50 - 70 mm from the end cap.
If the cable of a Digital probe is damaged it is not possible to repair it without affecting probe calibration. It
must be replaced.
Connections
The PIE is designed to be used with the T-CON connector and allows for fast network configuration. All
connections are via the 9-way sub D-type connector.
