Attaching the Terminal Block Connector Cable
The cable to the terminal block connector must be firmly attached to the top of the transducer, in
order to comply with CE Mark requirements. Figure 8 shows the preferred method to connect
the cable; using a metal cable clamp to affix the cable to the transducer. Figure 9 shows an
alternate method; wrapping the braided shield under the screw. Both examples show the cable
securely clamped to the transducer.
