Cabling

WARNING: The 3DM-GV7 is NOT IP68 rated without the correct cabling properly attached.

WARNING: Over-tightening the connector screws during cable installation can permanently damage the 3DM-GV7 enclosure.

 

How to Properly Install a 3DM-GV7 Cable

By following the two simple rules below, the 3DM-GV7 will achieve its IP68 rating.

 

Rule One

Use only cables approved for use with the 3DM-GV7. See table below.

Part Numbers	Description
6212-0032	IP68 Micro-D9 to USB with GPIO breakouts
6212-0031	IP68 Micro-D9 to RS232 with GPIO breakouts
6212-1200	IP68 Micro-D9 to flying leads

 

Rule Two

The screws which attach the Micro-D9 connector to the 3DM-GV7 enclosure must be snug, but not overtightened.

Tighten by hand, using only your fingers or a small slotted screw driver. Tighten to approximately 1 in-lbs. Do not exceed 1.5 in-lbs. The metal face plate of the connector should stop against the 3DM-GV7 enclosure. Do not tighten beyond this point. Over-tightening can permanently damage the 3DM-GV7 enclosure.

NOT tightened enough - connector face plate not flush with enclosure.	Tightened enough - face plate flush. Do not tighten beyond this point.
