Attach Cabling
Under ideal conditions, maxi-
mum cable lengths can match
the distances shown in table
1-1. However, since cable
lengths and sizes are dictated
by local conditions such as
wire size, wire shape (flat or
round), shielding, grounding,
extraneous signal noise, etc.,
maximum cable distances will
vary.

Front Panel Connectors

(figure 1-2) there are the following two connectors:
a. Trigger (Microscan or other object detector) (6-pin DIN socket)
