1.7.1 Connecting the Sensor Head and Controller

While holding the ring around the connector of the sensor head, insert the
connector into the sensor head connector of the controller until it snaps.

To disconnect, hold the ring around the connector and pull straight toward
you.
POINT
・Turn the power off before connecting the sensor head to the controller.
Check before turning the power on.
・The circumferential ring of the cable connector is connected to 0V. When
using an extension cable, take measures to isolate the connector so it
does not make contact with any surrounding conductors (metal).
・Check that the setting of the sensor head cable length selection switch
Notice
is consistent with the cable length, before turning the power on. The
controller will not correctly recognize the cable length with a wrong setting.
・When using an extended cable (GP-XCCJ7; cable length 7m) to extend
the sensor head cable length, slide the sensor head cable length selection
switch up. After operating the selection switch, turn the power on again
and perform calibration at three points without fail.
・Do not pull the cable; otherwise the cable will be damaged.
