The flat Allegro Dot M/L Cable must NOT be bent/twisted below 20mm (0.79”) from edge of
Allegro Dot housing (Non-Bendable/Non-Twistable Length).
Twisting the flat cable is NOT recommended. If twisting is necessary for installation, please
adhere to the above Non-Twistable Length and ensure the mounting pitch is greater than or
equal to 75% of the normal Allegro Dot to Allegro Dot pitch. The middle part of the cable must
be secured to the mounting fixture with a cable tie (see “2.3 On-Site Installation” on page
15 and FIG.17 on page 17). Ensure no damage is generated on the cable.
