8.3 Plugging and unplugging the cables/connectors
All Epec control units use heavy duty gold plated, locked and sealed AMPSEAL connectors.
The following figure shows an example of an AMP23 connector:
• Gold plated AMPSEAL connectors pack a current of 15 amperes per contact and
tolerate operating temperature range.
• All module connectors are mechanically keyed to mate only with identical colors (blue,
grey and black).
When connecting, make sure that:
• connectors are pressed down to the bottom and that they are locked
• connectors are clean (avoid moisture or dirt inside the connector)
• unused connectors are covered with empty connectors of the same
color (this helps to keep the control unit connectors dry and protected)
• all cables, connectors and tools are of correct type, and sufficiently high
quality, and suitable for this kind of use (protection for moisture,
mechanical stability, power durability, coupling resistance among other
things)
• there is a sufficient margin (slack) left in the cables to prevent the
torsion of the connectors
•
wires are bound to the control unit cover base knob with cable ties
The following figure describes some general instructions about the connectors.
