Prohibited Handling of Cables
Caution
When designing an application system using actuators and controllers, incorrect wiring or connection of
each cable may cause unexpected problems such as a disconnected cable or poor contact, or even a
runaway system. This section explains prohibited handling of cables. Read the information carefully to
connect the cables properly.

2. Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist.
3. Do not pull the cable with a strong force.
4. Do not let the cable receive a turning force at a
single point.
5. When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack
and do not tension it too tight.
6. Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the
cable.
