Preparing and Mounting Flat Connectors Section 4-3
4-3 Preparing and Mounting Flat Connectors
When you connect a Terminal Resistor to a Round Cable II cable, connect a
Flat Cable I or II cable to the Unit, or when you branch or extend the line, you
must prepare a Flat Connector and mount it on the cable.
Note (1) Flat Connectors are not reworkable. Once they are connected they can-
not be removed and connected again.
(2) Hold the Flat Connector body to plug in or pull out the connector.
(3) After connecting the Flat Connector, pull it lightly to confirm the connec-
tion is secured.
