2. Form a drip loop in the cable (see
).
3. Carefully align the flat surface on the feedback or the power/brake cable plug (shown in
the diagram) with the flat surface on the motor connector.
4. Hand tighten the collar on the plug to fully seat it on the connector:
•
Threaded DIN (M4) cable plugs require five to six revolutions.
•
SpeedTec DIN (M7) cable plugs require approximately one-quarter of a revolution.
Do not apply excessive force when mating the cable plug with the motor connector. If the plug
and connector do not go together with light hand force, realign the flat surfaces and try again.
IMPORTANT
The motor orientation shown is used to clearly show the alignment marker on each cable socket.
The recommended motor orientation when installed positions the connectors at the bottom of the motor.
TIP
A fully-seated threaded plug leaves a small opening, approximately 1…4 mm (0.04…0.16 in.),
between the connector and the plug.
ATTENTION: Align the keyed connectors and hand-tighten the recommended number of turns.
If you cannot tighten the connectors by hand, verify that the keyed connectors are properly aligned. Do not use
tools (for example, pliers and vise-grips) to tighten the connectors.
