Terminating Cable Runs
After you’ve run the black and grey network cables, you need to properly terminate the ends of the cables. By doing so, you’ll insure that the network runs properly. You will also have the benefit of being able to measure voltage in the system without disrupting operation.
This section lists procedures for terminating these cables. To properly terminate a cable run:
1.Mount three standard KwikLink connectors to a mounting plate in a triangle configuration. See Figure 4 on Page 19 for an illustration.
Make sure that each connector is installed with the hinge side down.
2.Mount the tubing clamps to the mounting plates. Each mounting plate requires two
(2) tubing clamps.
3.Mount the standard resistor cap from the KwikLink connector kit on the top center KwikLink connector for the black power flat cable. The standard resistor cap has metal prongs in the center.
Repeat for the outside end KwikLink connector on the grey data flat cable.
4.For the inside KwikLink connector (next to the outside end on the grey cable), mount a
Discard the standard resistor cap to eliminate confusion.
5.Mount the mounting plate assembly on the vacuum line at the end of the cable run. See Page 17 for more information.
6.Using the
Place a dust cap over the end of the trimmed cable.
7.Lay the dust cap and cable into the KwikLink connector so the dust cap tabs engage in the connector slots. The dust cap tabs should fit into the connector slots perfectly.

8.Lay the cable in the hinged base, noting the correct keyed profile; flat edge toward the hinge, keyed edge toward the latch. Make sure that the cable and dust cap are properly seated inside.
9.Making sure that the cable is completely straight, carefully close the hinged assembly, and apply firm, even pressure until the first latch locks into place.
Note: Make sure that the flat cable is completely staight before continuing!!
The latch has two catches; the first loosely holds the connector on the cable, the second requires more pressure to close the connector tightly. The cable must be in the correct position for the connector to close properly.
