3.4.2 Handling the Cables
Be sure to note the following content when xing the cables.
1
Wire the detector cable and signal cable while paying attention to the twisting or bends of the cables.
Note that the detector cable, signal cable, and feed back cable may malfunction if bundled with other cables
that may cause electrical noise, or if they are located near a switching relay dealing with a large current.
2
Fix the plug between the detector cable and signal cable (self-waterproof connector part), and the sig-
nal cable itself with the supplied cable clamps.
The bend radius of the signal cable must be greater than the following value. If the bend radius exceeds the
allowable range, it could result in breakage of the wires or other problems. Also, note with caution that the scale
is no longer guaranteed in such a case.
• Fixing the signal cable (the Detector is xed): Bend radius = 50 mm or more
Scale main unit moves
R = 50 or more
Detector is xed
When even signal cable is xed
• Repeatedly bending the signal cable (the Detector moves): Bend radius = 100 mm or more
Scale main unit is xed
R = 100 or more
Detector moves
When signal cable is repeatedly bent
3
Wire the feedback cable (prepared by the user) with some allowances and x it with cable clamps.
