3.7.12.2 Removing the Signal Cable from the Reeling Drum
1. Remove the cover from the Reeling Drum.
2. Remove the slip-ring on the baseplate of the sensor assembly.
3. Disconnect all wires from the sensor assembly except for the 6 wires leading to the angle and
extension sensor potentiometers.
4. To protect the sensors within the Reeling Drum, use two screws to temporarily reattach the
cover of the Reeling Drum.
5. Turn over the Reeling Drum with cover attached, exposing the back of the device.
6. With the wires still disconnected, pull the Signal Cable out of the main shaft in the center of the
reel. This cable has a strain-relief encircled with an “O”-Ring, creating a tight fit that seals out
water.
NOTE: If it is difficult to remove the cable, use the insertion / extraction tool from the front of the Reeling
Drum to release the cable
.
3.7.12.3 Installing the Signal Cable
1. Unpack the new Signal Cable and ensure the “O”-ring on the strain-relief is greased.
2. With the back of the Reeling Drum exposed, insert the end of the signal cable with the “O”-ring into
the mounting plate and down the shaft in the center of the reel.
3. Seat the strain-relief, with attached “O”-ring using the tool provided in the kit.
4. Bend the cable to the side. Position the hollowed-out section of the tool on the strain-relief plug at
the top of the shaft.
5. With a hammer, gently tap the top of the tool forcing the strain-relief into proper position in the shaft.
Continue to tap gently until the strain-relief plug will go no further.
6. Turn over the Reeling Drum and remove the cover.
7. Connect the wires to the terminal block on the baseplate, as indicated below.
8. Tuck the unconnected remaining yellow and orange wires down into the shaft.
9. Connect the brown wire from the slip-ring assembly to TB1-5, connect the black wire to TB1-6. Strip
wires, if not already stripped.
10. Screw the slip-ring assembly to the baseplate of the sensor assembly.
NOTE: Ensure the wires lay flat and toward the terminal connectors. Ensure there will be enough space
to clear the wires when the arm of the slip-ring rotates
.
11. Replace the cover on the Reeling Drum.
12. Install the Reeling Drum.
