14.6 FORTiS-S FS cable connection
To assist with cable management the FORTiS-S
FS system has two cable entry ports, allowing
the cable to be inserted into either side of the
readhead.
NOTE – STEP 4
Once the connector is engaged as shown, apply
a further torque by hand on the knurled nut ‘A’ to
ensure there is an adequate ground connection.
The measured resistance of the ground
connection (between the readhead body and the
shield connection at the controller end of the cable
assembly) must be less than 1 ohm.
Connector screw plug.
The cable connector port that is not being used should be fitted with the
supplied screw plug.
2 × cable connector ports (one either side).
Insert the cable into the readhead. Take care to ensure correct connector
orientation: the connector key edge should face towards to the base of the
readhead.
When fully engaged, the cable connector grip ring should be 1 mm away
from the readhead body, as illustrated above.
Using the knurled nut ‘A’, screw the connector into the threaded socket.
Using the included cable connection wrench with the hexagonal nut ‘B’,
secure the encoder cable.
IMPORTANT:
See ‘Note – Step 4’ in the text opposite.
