Important: To improve the bond between the motor cable shield
and the axis module PE ground, a cable shield clamp
is included with the Series C axis modules.

2. Prepare one end of the motor cable for attachment to the cable
shield clamp by removing the outer insulation and braided shield
from the motor cable. Ensure approximately 51 mm (2.0 in.) of
the insulated cable wires are exposed (refer to Figure 3.14).
3. Remove another 22 mm (.875 in.) of insulation to expose the
braided shield underneath for clamp attachment.
Important: When cutting into the insulation use care not to cut
into the braided shield underneath.
4. Position the cable shield clamp over the exposed braided shield
(ensure clamp screw is behind clamp and not braided shield).
5. Tighten the clamp screw.
Important: Do not overtighten the clamp screw or damage to
the braided shield may result.
6. Thread the bracket screw into the bottom of the axis module and
tighten.
7. Connect an axis module connector kit (catalog number 1394-199)
to each motor cable that you will use. Refer to instructions that
come with the kit for the specific connections.
