The centre core of the RF cable (refer to section 5.4 for the cable recommendation) is to be soldered to the centre
pin of the connector and the shield of the cable is to be crimped to connector body with the ferrule. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to assemble the connector properly.
Caution: Once the RF cable is terminated and the RF connector is assembled, the connector body MUST be
insulated to avoid shorting the metal body to the mounting pole.

5.3 Circuit Breakers
It is vitally important to protect the power cabling against over current conditions. Circuit breakers are an ideal way
of protecting the wiring over conventional fuses. Circuit breakers must be selected to trip before the cable current
limit is reached.
For a 24V system, the recommended circuit breaker rating is 2A for the power in and 1A for remote on/off high.
5.4 Cable Recommendations
VIX recommends using the following cables for the Adept Validator end. Cables between the interconnections
and the end terminal/devices should be chosen appropriately, depending on the distances and current ratings.
Local and statutory regulations should be followed for fire proofness and cable material content (i.e. RoHS), which
may override these recommendations.
Note: Cables must be suitably strain relieved at all times and in appropriate locations.
