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 installation and braided shield from the
motor cable. Ensure approximately 51 mm (2.0 in.) of the insulated
cable wires are exposed (see Figure 5B.13).
3.
Remove another 22 mm (0.875 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 the instructions included
with the kit for the specific connections.
