8 Wiring Guidelines
Avoiding cable wiring shortcuts
Most installation problems are caused by shortcuts taken with system cables. When wiring
the 8000i, follow the guidelines below.
DO NOT DO THIS! DO THIS!
Do not make sharp bends in the cables Do make drip and service loops
Do not run cables in a way that allows
water to flow down into the connectors Do tie-wrap all cables to keep them secure
Don’t route the data cables in areas
adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large-
current-carrying cables If cables are shortened, lengthened, or re-
terminated, do seal and protect all wiring
connections
Don’t attempt to cut or splice the DVI,
RGB or control cables. If longer versions
are necessary, use the optional longer
cables. Do leave room at the back to install and remove
cables
Waterproof Connections
Locate the cable in to the
socket. Do not use force as this
may damage the pins of the
connector Push cable in to connector.
Use care when locating pins Turn lock nut in a clockwise
direction until tight
