Page 35: Life Of The Wire
Life of the wire It is Wahlberg Motion Design policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, wires are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in special attention to the state of the wire. - Page 36 powerCON TRUE1 Regularly check the condition of the powerCON TRUE1 connector system (cable connector and chassis) for clear signs of wear and tear. Through improper use and the excessive use of force, the encoding lugs and guide slots in the connector system can become so severely worn or damaged that it is possible to insert the cable connector the wrong way.
