Electrical installation
system plug SX0A-A0000D:
– 3 cable entries without M12 cable gland (blanking plugs)
– 1 cable entry with M20 cable gland
– 4 blanking plugs for the unused outlets
Depending on the application use suitable cable entries on the top or rear. For the EFI
cables you must choose EMC-proof cable glands (see 13.3.6 “Self assembly connecting
cables” on page 165).

The length of the spare cable should be such that the system plug cannot inadvertently
be plugged into a neighboring S3000!
From experience 20 to 30 cm spare cable at the safety laser scanner have proven to be
adequate. In this way you avoid the inadvertent connection of the system plug to a
neighboring S3000 and operation of an S3000 with an incorrect configuration. The spare
cable enables you to change the S3000 with ease if necessary.
If you want to assemble the system plug yourself, you will find suitable cables in the
ordering information (see section 13.3.6 “Self assembly connecting cables” on page 165).
