Description
of a new relay cable:
The standard Flowcon
relay cable has a cord-grip installed at one end, allowing a secure cable installation
through a standard ½ inch electrical box knockout.
To install:
Remove the strain
relief from the cable connector.
 | Use a pointed tool, like a
pocket knife, to carefully lift each end of the strain relief , until it’s free.
Don’t break it. |
| Unwrap the fold in the relay
cable and straighten it out. |
| Twist the connector 90
degrees and carefully fold the cable around the connector to form a tube shape. |
Carefully unscrew the
cord-grip retaining nut over the cable wires and remove.
| Insert the cable through the
knockout. |
| Reinstall retaining nut and
tighten. |
| Fold cable back around the
connector and snap the strain relief back into place. |
| Do not leave off the strain
relief – it protects the cable at the connector and prevents wire fatigue and
failure. |
| Adjust the amount of cable
coming through the cord grip to allow connection to the relay board. |
| Tighten the cord grip so
that the cable doesn’t slip. Avoid excess cable slack.
