5. Operating Instructions

The TURCK WKB 3T-4 Cable Assembly functions as a passive electrical conduit, transmitting power and/or signals between connected devices. Once properly installed, its operation is dependent on the connected equipment.

  • Ensure the cable is not subjected to stresses beyond its design limits (e.g., excessive pulling force, sharp impacts).
  • Verify that the connected devices are operating within the cable's specified voltage and current ratings (4A, 250V).
  • The right-angle design is particularly useful for applications where space is limited or where the cable needs to run parallel to a surface immediately after the connection point.

6. Mantenimentu

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your cable assembly:

  • Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the cable and connector with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent can be used, ensuring the connector pins are dry before re-connecting.
  • Ispezione: Regularly inspect the cable jacket for cracks, cuts, abrasions, or discoloration. Check the connector for bent pins, corrosion, or loose components.
  • Integrità di cunnessione: Periodically check the tightness of the connector's coupling nut to ensure it remains secure.
  • Conservazione: When not in use, store the cable in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly.
