Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the cable from its packaging, taking care not to damage the spiral structure or the drawn ends.
- Plan Routing: Determine the optimal path for the cable, considering the required reach and any potential snag points. Ensure the environment is within the specified temperature range for flexing (5-50 °C).
- Terminate Ends: The straight-cut drawn ends (200 mm and 600 mm) are ready for connection. Follow standard electrical termination procedures for the 1 mm² core size and the specific connectors required for your application.
- Connect: Securely connect the cable ends to the appropriate machinery or control units.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for use as control and power cables in machines, mechanical engineering, and automatic control systems. Its 300/500 V voltage rating makes it suitable for low to medium voltage applications. The 18-core configuration supports a wide range of control signals and power distribution needs. Ensure the cross-sectional area (1 mm²) meets the current carrying capacity requirements for your specific setup.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the cable with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polyurethane sheath.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks, especially at points of maximum flex.
- Avoid Overstretching: Do not pull the cable beyond its 3:1 expansion limit to prevent damage to the spiral structure and conductors.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the cable to temperatures outside its specified flexing range (5-50 °C) for prolonged periods, as this can affect its flexibility and lifespan.
