Change Connector Orientation
You may rotate the connector housing up to 180 degrees. This lets you adjust the
connector to a position that best protects the connection from possible
environmental contaminates while providing cable access.
The circular DIN connector housing can be rotated up to 180° in either direction.
Follow these steps to rotate a DIN connector.
1.
Mount and fully seat a mating cable on either the feedback or power/brake
connector.
2.
Grasp the mated connector and cable plug and slowly rotate them to the
outside of the motor.
3.
Repeat these steps for the other connector.
ATTENTION
Connectors are designed to be rotated into a fixed position during motor installation, and
remain in that position without further adjustment. Strictly limit the applied forces and the
number of times the connector is rotated to make sure that connectors meet the
requirements of IP66 and IP67.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and its
components.
IMPORTANT
Do not use tools, such as pliers or vise-grips, to assist you in rotating the connector.
Only apply force to the connector. Do not apply force to or pull on the cable.
ATTENTION
Apply force only to the motor connector and cable plug. Do not apply force to
the cable extending from the cable plug. No tools, for example pliers or
vise-grips, should be used to assist with the rotation of the connector.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and
its components.
