Approved ESD precautions must be followed at all times during readhead electrical connection.
The FPC cable must be connected before fitting the readhead lid. The lid is secured by the readhead mounting screws.
Inserting the FPC cable
1 Ensure the locking lever is up (open) before fully
inserting the FPC cable into the connector.
NOTE: Check correct orientation of cable before
inserting into the connector. Readhead will be
shipped with connector in the open position.
Removing the FPC cable
1
Placing your finger on the whole of the
locking lever, slowly lift it up and away to
disengage the locking mechanism.
Do not use tools such as screwdrivers
or tweezers to open the locking lever
as this may cause damage to the
connector or PCB.
