Installing KwikLink Cable

Before you install flat cable, determine how much length you need to install black power cable and grey data cable. Typical installations have equal lengths of each. This is a good time to plan for the future, and run these cables to each possible location in the plant. Use a straight-blade cable cutter to make the cut at each end.

To install KwikLink cables:

1.Cut both black and grey cables to the proper length.

2.Use cable ties to attach KwikLink cables, black cable above grey cable, on the vacuum tubing. Attach cable to the tubing with cable ties at about three-foot (3 ft./ 1 m) invervals. Make sure that cable ties are snug, but not tightened enough to bend the flat cable.

Caution! Install KwikLink cable on vacuum tubing only. DO NOT install KwikLink cable on material conveying tubing, as static electricity formed at material lines could disrupt system operation.

Note: When approaching a node location, stop the attachment process. Run the cables over the node area (such as a T-valve) and make sure you create a slight amount of slack when continuing the attachment with cable ties. Doing so lets you install KwikLink connectors or ArmorBlocks with greater ease, with less stress on the cable.
