Use the following connectors when assembling a connector and cable.
NX Units with MIL Connectors
Applicable Cable-side Connectors
Wire Size
We recommend using cable with wire gauges of AWG 24 or AWG 28 (0.2 mm
2
to 0.08 mm
2
). Use
cable with external wire diameters of 1.61 mm max.
Wiring
• Make sure that all Units are connected properly.
• After the cable side connector is connected, close the lock lever on the NX Unit side connector
section to lock it. After you complete the wiring, make sure that the connector is locked.
If the external power supply has polarity, connect it with the correct polarity. If the polarity is
reversed, current may flow in the reverse direction and damage the connected devices regard-
less of the operation of the Controller.
