Prohibited Handling of Cables
When designing an application system using IAI 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.
Ten Rules for Handling Cables (Must be Observed!)
1.
Do not let the cable flex at a single point.
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.
6.
Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut
the cable.
5.
When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack
and do not tension it too tight.
