Other equivalent and approved cables may be used.

Where SSC is indicated it should be a Signal Shielded Cable with the shield properly
connected to earth as shown in the electrical drawings.
For other connections armoured cable may be used provided the armour is connected to
earth as shown in the electrical drawings.

NOTE
• Terminal X13:2 in Master is connected to
term. X13:4 in Slave and X13:4 (Master)
to X13:2 (Slave)
• Straight parallel connection between
Slaves
• When change of Master interconnections
must be changed too
• For Master/Slave coding see operators
service manual

IMPORTANT

Minimum distance 0.3 m between screened

signal cables and power cables parallel to each
other.
