2.3 Connecting the Sensor to the Controller PCB card and powering up the Device
Having successfully installed the sensor and controller PCB card, the next step is to connect the sensor
to the controller and power up the device.
2.3.1 Connecting the Sensor to the Controller PCB card
The sensor is connected to the controller PCB card via the flexi tail originating from the sensor. The
flexi tail is connected and secured to the controller PCB card using the on board ZIF connector.
To carry out this connection the following steps must be followed:
¾
Ensure the locking bar of the PCB ZIF connector is open (i.e. vertical to the body of the
connector, as shown in Figure 9).
Figure 9:

¾
With the PCB electronic components face you, ensure the sensor flexi tail is inserted into the
on board PCB ZIF connected straight with the gold fingers of the flexi tail also facing you, as
shown in Figure 10. It is important that the connection is made the correct way to prevent
incorrect operation.
