Connecting Communications Cables

1,2,3...
Communications cables are connected to General-purpose Slaves using nor-
mal square connectors.
Use the following procedure to prepare the communications cables and con-
nect them to the connectors.
The same methods are used to connect the cables to connectors with and
without set screws.
1. Remove about 30 to 80 mm of the cable covering, being careful not to
damage the mesh shield underneath. Do not remove more than neces-
sary. Removing excessive cable covering may cause a short-circuit.
About 30 to 80 mm
(Remove as little as possible.)
2. Peel back the mesh shield carefully to expose the signal lines, power lines,
and the shielding wire. The shielding wire will be loose on the outside of
the other lines, but it is harder than the mesh shield and should be easily
identified.
3. Remove the exposed mesh shield, remove the aluminum tape from the
signal and power lines, and strip the covering from the signal and power
lines to the proper length for the crimp terminal connectors. Twist together
the wires of each of the signal and power lines.
4. Attach the crimp terminals to the lines and then cover any exposed areas
of the cable and lines with electrician's tape or heat-shrinking tubes.
5. Orient the connector properly, loosen the line set screws, and then insert
the lines in order: Red, white, shield, blue, and then black.
6. Connectors without set screws do not require lines to be secured with
screws as with previous connectors. Push up the orange tab and then in-
sert each line into the back of each hole.
Release the orange lever after inserting the lines, and gently pull each line
