5. Attach the single motor cable that transmits the power, feedback, and brake signals as
described below.
a. Carefully align the cable connector with the motor connector.
The flat surface on the top of the motor connector and the flat surfaces on the cable
connector must align for the cable connector to mate with the motor connector.
b. Hand-tighten the knurled collar one-quarter turn to fully seat the cable connector.
c. Form a drip loop in the cable to carry liquids away from the connectors.
ATTENTION: Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened.
Do not use tools, or apply excessive force, when mating the cable to the motor connector. If the connectors do not
go together with light hand force, realign and try again.
ATTENTION: The overall shield on the single motor cable must be grounded to obtain an effective encoder signal.
The encoder data signal is transmitted through an impedance-matched twisted-wire pair that requires effective
shielding for optimum performance.
Be sure there is an effective connection between the single motor cable shield and the drive system ground.
