Cables and Connectors

To avoid damage to cables, make sure the cables are not bent at sharp angles.
Caution!
Make sure that mains power is disconnected before connecting or disconnecting cables. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the equipment.
The Polaris Vicra System incorporates a number of different connectors:
• self-locking circular connector
• USB connector
• jack connector
Handle the connectors with care, paying particular attention to the points detailed below:
• Pull connections apart by gripping the connector. Do not pull them apart by tugging on the
cable as this can damage the connecting cable and connector pins.
• Do not leave cable connectors where they will get damaged, particularly on the floor, where
they can easily be stepped on or rolled over by heavy equipment.
• Do not put heavy objects on cables or cable connectors.
• Never force a connection.
• On LEMO connectors, make sure that the red dots on the connectors are lined up with each
other before connection (the double keys of the connector should be aligned).
