Figure 6: Cable Armor Types and Cutting Points
Type and Dimensions
There are four types of cable armor, which are made for specific SBN models. The models for each type
are listed in Table 2, and the # symbol refers to the point where the cable armor should be cut and
removed (see Figure 6).
As explained in the Wiring section, cut the armor at a point where its inner diameter is at least 1.5mm
smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting cable; this will ensure that the cable armor provides a
steadfast seal.
For example, if preparing cable armor for an SBN-2-W, the type of cable armor the unit should come with
is Type A. The outer diameter of the cable is 11mm, so the cable armor should be cut at a point where
the inner diameter is 9.5mm (11mm – 1.5mm). That would be #3 for Type A cable armor.
CAUTION
Take care to cut the correct cable armor type, and that it is cut at the correct point.
