18 | Wiring the radar system
4.1 Wiring guidelines
Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables.
When wiring the radar:
• DON'T make sharp bends in the cables
• DON'T run cables in a way that allows water to flow down on to the connectors
• DON'T allow the scanner cable to place pressure on the radar processor connector
But:
• DO make drip and service loops
• DO use cable ties to keep the cables tidy and secure
• DO seal and protect all wiring connections if cables are shortened, lengthened, or re-
terminated
• DO leave room to easily access, install and remove cables
DO make sure cables connecting to the radar processor are not under stress from bending or
twisting that could place pressure on the processors connectors
4.2 Radar scanner 6 kW: Connect the interconnection cable
(AA010092) to the scanner
• Unscrew and then lift up the hinged cover of the scanner.
• Identify the connector ends B, C, D, E, and F on the 6 kW interconnection cable
(AA010092). Connector end F is an Earthing strap.
• Refer to the figure below. Push the cable gland (D), a washer (B), the gasket (C) and
another washer (B) over the connectors of the interconnection cable in the order shown.
• Tear away the tape (A) as shown, then loosen about the shield mesh and bend this
around the washer as shown.
