14.6 FORTiS-S FS cable connection
To assist with cable management the FORTiS-S
FS system has two cable entry ports, allowing
the cable to be inserted into either side of the
readhead.
NOTE – STEP 4
Once the connector is engaged as shown, apply
a further torque by hand on the knurled nut 'A' to
ensure there is an adequate ground connection.
The measured resistance of the ground
connection (between the readhead body and the
shield connection at the controller end of the cable
assembly) must be less than 1 ohm.
