Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the operator terminal and the development computer are powered down before connecting or disconnecting the cable to prevent potential electrical damage to the communication ports.
• Verify that the DB9 and DB25 connectors are fully seated and secured using the integrated locking screws to maintain a stable connection during data transfer.
• Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and other sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to prevent data corruption.
• Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable during installation to preserve the integrity of the internal conductors.
