Connection and disconnection of extension cable

(1) Instructions for handling an extension cable
• Do not stamp an extension cable.
• An extension cable must be connected to the base unit when the
base cover has been installed.
(After you have set the extension number to the extension base
unit, reinstall and screw the base cover.)
• When running an extension cable, the minimum bending radius
of the cable should be 55mm(2.17inches) or more.
If it is less than 55mm(2.17inches), a malfunction may occur due
to characteristic deterioration, open cable or the like.
• When connecting or disconnecting an extension cable, do not
hold the ferrite cores mounted at both ends of the cable.
Hold the connector part of the cable for connection or
disconnection.
Holding the ferrite core may cause the cable to open within the
connector.
Also, if the ferrite core is shifted, the characteristic will change.
When handling the cable, take care not to shift the ferrite core
positions.
