Installation

5.2.2 Cable for Power Supply and Outputs

You need to connect the power supply (12 to 26 VDC) and the signal output wires. Use only cable with outside diameter from 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in), AWG 24.

The cable must include shielded wires. It should not be used as a strain relief!

1.Cut about 40 mm (1.5 in) of the cable sheath (7) from the end of the cable. Caution: Do not cut into the shield!

2.Cut the shield (5) so about 5 mm (0.2 in) remains exposed from under the cable sheath (7). Separate the shield and spread the strands out. Shorten the inside insulation until you can separate the wires (6).

3.Strip 3 mm (0.15 in) of insulation from the wires (6).

4.Open the electronic box by removing the four Phillips head screws and pulling off the lid. Unscrew the cap (1), and remove the plastic compression fitting (2), the rubber washer (3), which is inside the fitting, and the two metal washers (4).
