5.3.3. Accessory Cables and Terminal Block
As accessories for the Endurance-Series devices there are two different communication cables
types and a specific terminal block available. Both sensor cables can be ordered in several
cable lengths and two different ambient temperature ratings.
The sensors housing is NEMA-4 (IEC 529, IP65) rated.
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury make sure
that the sensors housing is grounded before use.
5.3.3.1. M16 12-Conductor shielded cable
The 12-conductor shielded connecting cable is used to wire all the fundamental inputs and
outputs like RS485 interface, trigger input, relay contact, current loop input, current loop output
and 24V power supply wires to the Endurance-Series sensor. The cable is equipped with an
IP67 rated M16 12-socket DIN connector at one end and colored wires with cable end sleeves
at the counter side.
See below the colored wire to signal assignments, which are identical to the specific terminal
block labeling. For more cable details see section 9.1.
