1
Remove the connector cover on the main unit.
Do not remove the cover unless connecting
the unit in series.
2
Connect the series connection cable for
transmitter (cable insulation is grey) to the
portion of connector. (Connector cover has
already been removed in step 1.)
Recommended tightening torque : 0.3 N·m
Minimum cable bending radius : 5 mm

The series connection cable must be also
connected to the sub unit 1.

of IP65 can not be fulfilled.
