3. If ProCam 1500 and your servo feed controller have been installed inside two
separate enclosures, run the cable through flexible liquid-tight conduit from
your feed to ProCam 1500. ProCam 1500 is rated NEMA 12 (protected against
dust and oil). You must use conduit of the same rating and make proper
connections to ensure NEMA 12 protection.
4. Go to the RS-232 port on your feed. If there is a cable already connected to this port,
remove it. Some feeds will not have any cable attached to this port.
5. Plug the DB25 connector which is attached to the cable from ProCam 1500 into
the feed's RS-232 port. It can only go in one way. Tighten the screws on the
connector to hold it firmly in its socket. Also tighten all conduit connections.
6. Now go to ProCam 1500. The end with the unattached wires goes to it. Cut off any
extra cable if necessary, and carefully remove the outer insulation and inner
shielding on the cable in order to expose the wires. Strip insulation back 1/4" on
each wire.
7. You will be connecting the two wires (with shield) to the 10-pin phœnix
connector which you will attach to terminal TB103 on the ProCam 1500
processor board. The wiring connection will depend upon your feed model. Refer
to Figure 2-3, and the tables at Table 2-1 for your feed's RS-232 configuration.
8. To connect a wire, loosen the screws that correspond to the terminal referenced
in the following figure and tables, so that the corresponding slot to the right will
open. See Figure 2-2. Insert the bare part of the wire 90% of the way into the
the open slot. Retighten the screw, holding the wire firmly in place.

IMPORTANT -- ABOUT WIRING
When making wiring connections, be sure that the tab is tightened onto
the bare part of the wire, not onto the insulation. If on the insulation,
you will have a bad connection.
9. Repeat step 8 when connecting the other two wires. Make sure you add the
jumper between terminals 3 and 6 on ProCam 1500 TB103 as shown in Figure
2-3, and the tables at Table 2-1.
