2.
Hand-tighten the knurled collar one-quarter turn to seat the cable connector fully.
3.
If applicable, form a drip loop in the cables to carry liquids away from the connector.
ATTENTION:
Make sure that the cable is installed and restrained to prevent uneven
tension or flexion at the cable connectors. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable
connector can cause the environmental seal of the connector to open and close as the
cable flexes. Failure to observe these safety precautions can result in damage to the
electric-cylinder motor and its components.
ATTENTION:
The overall shield on the single motor cable must be grounded to obtain an
effective encoder signal. The encoder data signal is transmitted through an impedance-
matched twisted-wire pair that requires effective shielding for optimum performance.
Be sure that there is an effective connection between the single motor cable shield and
the drive system ground.
