• Do not use the blank terminals.
INTERCONNECTION OF TRANSDUCER
Connection of signal transmission cable
• For interconnection between the driver and the monitor, or between the driver and
safety barrier, and safety barrier and monitor, make sure to use 3-core shielded
cables or pair shielded standard 3-wire instrument cables, since the signal
transmitted is weak.
(Do not use unshielded cables or non-pair shielded multicore cables as the
measured values could be affected by external noise.)

Use conduit pipe (cable rack) for
wiring.
INSTRUMENT CABLE
(Pair shielded standard 3-wire)
Good
Although vibration and displacement
signals can be transmitted in one
instrument cable, use separate
cables, because a high vibration
signal exerts injurious influence over
other displacement and vibration
signals.
Recommended:
Outside shield of aluminum or
copper tape.
• Provide separate cabling for pulse signals (phase marker, revolution) and for
displacement and vibration signals.
• Avoid running signal transmission cables together with control and power cables.
• Install all cables in conduit pipes or on cable racks.
