5.1.4 Probe/extension cable connection to driver
Connect the probe or extension cable to the driver, as follows.
• Confirm that there are no foreign objects in the probe (or extension cable) connector, or in
the driver sensor input connector. Dirt or debris trapped in the connector will cause a poor
connection and produce unwanted measurement characteristics.
• Connect the probe (or extension cable) to the driver, and tighten the collar by hand.

C AUTION
• Normally, only tighten the connector by hand. If it is tightened using a tool, there is a
risk that the connector may be damaged.
• Cutting either the probe or the extension cable to a shorter length will result in a
measurement that no longer conforms with the specification.
NOTE
• When making the connections, try to ensure that the cable is not twisted. If there is
twisting/torsional stress on the cable, it may slowly loosen the connection. If a twisting
force is inevitable, disconnect, slightly pre-twist the cable so that when reconnected it
tends to ‘tighten’ the connection.
• If it is unavoidable to store excess cable inside the driver housing, do not force exces-
sive amounts of cabling into it.
