Connecting/disconnecting the extension cable

(1) Precautions on handling the extension cable
• Do not step on the extension cable.
• Be sure to attach the base cover to the base unit before connecting the extension
cable to the base unit.
(After setting the stage number of the extension base unit, attach the base cover
and fasten it with screws again.)
• When installing the extension cable, provide 55mm or more as the minimum
allowable bend radius for the cable.
If the bend radius is less than 55mm, malfunctions may occur due to the cable
deterioration or breakage.
• Do not hold the ferrite cores at both ends of the cable when connecting/
disconnecting the extension cable.
Instead, hold the connectors of the extension cable to connect/disconnect the
cable.
Holding the ferrite cores in cable connection/disconnection may cause cable
breakage inside the connector.
Also, be careful not to change the positions of the ferrite cores when handling the
cable since changing the positions of the ferrite cores may change the cable
characteristics.
