Connector plugs have either a tab or a flat surface with a logo to indicate the alignment point.
5. Hand tighten the collar on the plug to fully seat it on the connector:
•
Threaded DIN (M4) cable plugs require five to six revolutions.
•
SpeedTec DIN (M7) cable plugs require approximately one-quarter of a revolution.
TIP
Do not apply excessive force when mating the cable plug with the motor connector. If the plug
and connector do not go together with light hand force, realign the flat surfaces and try again.
ATTENTION: Align the keyed connectors and hand-tighten the recommended number of turns.
If you cannot tighten the connectors by hand, verify that the keyed connectors are properly aligned.
Do not use tools (for example, pliers and vise-grips) to tighten the connectors.
