[. . . ] NEW XS5 Round Water-resistant Connectors XW3D Connector Terminal Boxes Simple, Twist-and-Click Connection. Meet the Next-generation M12 Connector! New Assembly Connectors Added to the Lineup. Many Sensors for Easier Application. XS5M XS5P XW3D NEW XS5G NEW XS5C XS5R XS5 The simple, XS5 Connector is completely compatible with conventional Patent Pending screw-type M12 connectors. A simple twist is all it takes to connect the Smartclick XS5, making it an ideal next-generation M12 connector. It's also easy to introduce to existing facilities because it takes only 1/4 the time of ordinary wiring processes, and it's compatible with conventional, screw-type connectors. The Problem connector solves the problems of previous screw-type connectors. It's troublesome to screw the connectors together. Problem 1 3 It's difficult to keep track of locking torque values. Solution It's a twist-and-click connection. An innovative new lock structure makes connection extremely simple. [. . . ] · If the cover is used for an Angled model, the relationship between the position of the polarity key on the engaged side and cable connection direction will be determined by the direction in which the positioning key is inserted into the cover, which can be rotated by 90°. · Fully insert the positioning key until the positioning key is hidden by the casing. 18 XS5 Connecting the XS5 Pin Block (Screw-mounting Connectors) Triangle mark 1. Connecting the XS5 Plug and Socket Cover · Align the projection on the plug cover with the polarity key on the socket, then insert the plug all the way in. Polarity key Protrusion on cover aligns with polarity key. Cover lock Pin block · Align the triangular marks on the pin block and cover and insert the pin block into the cover. · Press them together firmly (0. 39 to 0. 49 N·m) until the pin block does not come out of the cover. · Hold the knurled socket grip, then insert the projection on the plug into the groove of the socket. (5) Mounting Cap · After mounting the cover to the pin block and the cover snaps into place, tighten the cap securely by hand within a torque of 0. 39 and 0. 49 N·m. Note: If the cap is not tighten securely enough, the degree of protection (IP67) may not be maintained or vibration may cause the cap to become loose. Do not tighten the cap with pliers or similar tools; they may damage the cap. · Turn the knurled grips of the socket clockwise approximately 45 degrees in respect to the plug. A click will indicate that the Connectors are locked. The locking condition can also be confirmed by the alignment marks on the plug and socket. A Cap Alignment marks · After fully tightening the cap, length A should be approximately one of the following according to the cable external diameter and the Connector model. cable Cable external diameter (mm) 6 mm 1 ----5 mm 0 2 --4 mm --1 2 3 mm ----1 2. Connecting the XS5 and XS2 · Align the projection on the plug cover with the polarity key on the socket, then insert the plug all the way in. · In the same way as when connecting two XS2 Connectors, screw the knurled grip in the clockwise direction. · Use your fingers to tighten the Connectors sufficiently. (6) After Assembly · Confirm the insulation between cores after completing assembly. Recommended Cables When connecting a commercially available cable to a connector assembly, use a cable with an outside diameter of 3 to 6 mm and core sizes of 0. 18 to 0. 75 mm2 for crimping connectors and 0. 5 mm2 maximum for soldering connectors. Connector Arrangement For safety, when constructing a connection system between a Sensor and panel with a connector, make sure that the connector plug is on the Sensor side and the connector socket is on the panel side (i. e. , the female pins are located on the power-supply side). Sensor Side Connecting Cable Panel Side (Power-supply Side) (Plug) (Socket) (Plug) (Socket) 19 XS5 Safety Precautions Precautions for Correct Use Do not use the Connectors in an atmosphere or environment that exceeds the specifications. General Precautions · Do not pull excessively on the Connectors or cables. Do not install the Connectors or cables in any way that would place a load directly on the mating section or cable connections. Doing so can damage the Connectors or break the wires inside the cables. · Install the Connectors and cables where they will not be stepped on to prevent the wires inside the cables from being broken and to prevent the Connectors from being damaged. If the Connectors or cables must be installed where they might be stepped on, protect them with covers. · Refer to the specifications for your cables before bending the cables and do not bend them past their minimum bending radius. · If sensors or switches are not attached during installation, protect the mating surface of the Connector with a XS2Z-22 Waterproof Cover of XS2Z-14/15 Dust Cover. Connector Connection and Disconnection · When connecting or disconnecting Connectors, be sure to hold the Connectors by hand. · Do not hold the cable when disconnecting Connectors. · When mating Connectors, be sure to insert the plug all the way to the back of the socket before attempting to lock the Connectors. · Do not use tools of any sort to mate the Connectors.
