Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system is powered down before connecting or disconnecting any I/O link cables to prevent electrical damage or signal disruption.
• Route cables away from high-voltage power lines and high-EMI sources to maintain signal integrity.
• Observe the minimum bend radius during installation to protect the internal conductors and shielding.
• Ensure that all connections are fully seated and secured to prevent intermittent communication errors.
• Handle with care to avoid damage to the connectors or the cable jacket, especially in high-vibration environments.
