Operation
Tether Handling
The tether is one of the most important parts of the system. It feeds power and control signals to the
system and returns data to the controller. If the tether is damaged from: improper use, poor handling or an
accident, the system may become inoperable. This could lead to significant downtime, loss of production,
and avoidable costly repairs. It is encouraged to stress the importance of the tether and its use to anyone
operating or maintaining the equipment. For maximum tether life and reliability, we recommend the following
tether handling tips.
•
Do not crush the tether by stepping on it.
•
Never allow anyone to drive over the tether!
•
Do not bend the tether beyond its minimum bend radius
•
Do not kink the tether
•
Do not snap load the tether
•
Avoid loading the tether whenever possible
•
Always use the Kellems grip strain relief if applicable to your system
•
Regularly inspect the tether for damage
•
Regularly clean the tether
Note:
Protecting the conductors inside the tether is critical to the life and operation of the tether.
Proper tether handling and care will result in extended tether life and system reliability.
