3.5.2 Bend Radius
The minimum bend radius (r) for both soft-line and hardline cable is determined by the cable diameter as shown
below:

Clamp Cable
To minimize triboelectric (motion-induced) noise from the cable interfering with the sensors high impedance
charge output cable clamps must be used. Clamp the cable as close to the transducer as possible and should
be attached to the same surface that the head is mounted (See Figure 3) taking care not to induce stress into
the cable and possibly leading to intermittent or broken connections. Continue to clamp the
cable at regular
intervals of approximately 1.5 ft (0.5 m)
