Master/Slave Connecting Cables Section 3-4
Assembling the Cable
Connectors
Use the following procedure to install the sensor’s cable into the cable con-
nector that plugs into the Sensor Terminal. The following diagram shows the
two parts of the cable connector: the connector plug and cover.
Cable Connector Model Numbers
There are two models of cable connectors available for different sized cable
wires, as shown in the following table.
Make sure that the sensor cable’s wire size is compatible the cable connector
being used. The cable connector’s marking is found on the connector plug, as
shown in the following diagram.
Sensor Cable Preparation
Sensor cables are usually stripped to semi-strip or strip specifications, but
OMRON cable connectors cannot be attached when the cable is stripped in
these ways.
To prepare the cable for an OMRON cable connector, cut the tip and strip the
cable insulation but not the wire insulation, as shown in the following diagram.
Inserting Wires into the Cover
When connecting the Sensor, match the terminal numbers marked on the
connector cover with the colors of the sensor wires as shown in the following
table.
