1. Measure and mark all cables at 250 to 300 mm from the cable ends. This amount of
slack is needed to install the seal assembly after the connections are made to the iCS-
ECAT.
2. Install the cable seal housing on the top of the iCS-ECAT using four M4 x 50 screws,
four M4 lock washers, and four M4 flat washers. Note that the centered M6-threaded
hole must be toward the center of the robot base (refer to the figure below). Ensure that
the gasket is seated between the iCS-ECAT surface and the cable seal housing.

3. Roxtec modules to fit the cables that will be used by peeling out half-circle strips from
the modules. There should be a 0.1 to 1.0 mm gap between the halves of the
modules for a proper seal as shown in the following figure.
