machine the clearance hole for the instrument connection socket.
Remove the template.
Note: Never drill through the instruments 4 mounting holes as the
gaskets may be damaged and thus cause leakage. The warranty is
not valid for damage caused by drilling through the mounting holes.
Run the Nexus Network cable from the Server to the instrument.
Cut the Nexus Network cable to length. Peel off about 35 mm (1,4") of
the cable insulation. Remove about 6 mm (1/4") from the 3 isolated
wires (the 4th wire is an earth / screen). Attach the 4 cable protectors
to the wires using a pair of flat pliers.

down the cable in the cable leads. Mount the connection back cover
with the screw.
Mount the instrument in the pre-drilled position.
