15.6 FORTiS cable connection
To assist with cable management the FORTiS-N
system has a cable entry port, allowing
the cable to be inserted into the side of the
readhead.
The default cable port output direction is as
per the installation drawing in
section 12
on
page 20. If an alternative cable output port
direction is needed please contact your local
Renishaw representative.
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. Cable connection thread should be
secured with Loctite 222.

Using the knurled nut "A", screw the connector into the threaded
socket.
When fully engaged, the cable connector grip ring should be 1 mm
away from the readhead body, as illustrated above.

Insert the cable into the readhead. Take care to ensure correct
connector orientation: the connector key edge should face towards
the base of the readhead.
