IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
Refer to the product catalog pages for additional information.
Safety Precautions
SDo not pull on the connector or the cable. The connector
may be damaged or the cable conductors may be broken.
STo prevent connector damage and broken cable
conductors, install the cable and connector in locations
where they will not be stepped on, entangled in people’s
legs, or otherwise subjected to excessive strain. If
installation in such locations cannot be avoided, install
protective covers to protect the connector and cable.
SDo not mate the connector in the wrong direction. The
connector may be damaged.
SDo not use the connector if the lock lever is broken. The
connector may become disconnected, possibly causing
machine malfunction.
SWhen installing the cable, do not bend it past the
specifications given for the cable.
SDo not apply a current exceeding the rated current.
SDo not use pliers or similar tools to remove the connector.
SHold the connector firmly when working on it, but do not
apply excessive force to it.
SOnce a connector has been assembled do not take it apart
and reuse it. If the assembly is not successful, use a new
connector to redo the operation.
SThis connector is not water-proof. Do not allow it to be
subjected to water or oil during operation.
Precautions for Correct Use
SWiring Work
SDo not perform wiring work or connect/disconnect the
connector while the power supply is ON. Electrical
shock or machine malfunction may result.
SWiring the cable according to the wiring diagram for the
machine being used.
SConfirm that there are no short-circuits caused by wires
sticking out of the connector.
SConnecting the Connector
SAlways hold onto the body of the connector when
connecting/disconnecting the connector.
SBe sure the connector is connected completely to the
back and then pull in the reverse direction to be sure the
connector will not disconnect.
SConfirm that the cable labels and cable colors match
before connecting the cable.
Trunk-Line Connector
Part Names
1485P--K1TG4
Wiring Procedure
1. Cutting the Cable
SCut expansion cables perpendicular to the length of the
cable.
STo prevent short-circuits, cut the cable with a sharp
instrument and be sure there are no whiskers on the
conductors.
2. Assembling the Cable Stopper (for expansion)
SAlign the cover and catch the hooks and then press the
cable stopper until it clicks into place and stays in place.
3. Connecting the Cable
SAlign the cable labels and cable colors and place the cable
in the connector.
SSandwich the cable in the cover and catch the hooks to
secure the cable.
Note: For expansion connectors, close the cover first and
then insert the cable into the cover and position the cable to
the end is in contact with the cable stopper.

4. Mounting the Housing
SReconfirm that the cable length matches the cable colors
and then set the cover in the housing and secure it
temporarily.
5. Pressure-Welding the Connector
SBefore pressure-welding expansion connectors, check that
the cable is inserted all the way to the cable stopper and
be sure that it is securely connected.
SGrip the connector in the center between pliers or a similar
instrument and pressure-weld the connector.
SWhen finished, confirm that the connector has been
properly pressure-welded.
Confirm that the locks on the housing are completely
caught on the hooks of the cover.
Be sure you can see the cable in the confirmation
opening.
Drop-Line Connector
Part Names
1485P--K1DL4
Wiring Procedure
1. Cutting the Cable
SCut expansion cables perpendicular to the length of the
cable.
STo prevent short-circuits, cut the cable with a sharp
instrument and be sure there are no whiskers on the
conductors.
2. Connecting the Cable
SAlign the cable labels and cable colors and insert the
cable.
SThe cover is translucent. Confirm that the cable is inserted
all the way.
3. Pressure-Welding the Connector
SBefore pressure-welding expansion connectors, check that
the cable is inserted all the way and be sure that it is
securely connected.
SGrip the connector in the center between pliers or the
special tool (DWT--A01) and pressure-weld the connector.
SWhen finished, confirm that the connector has been
properly pressure-welded.
Confirm that the locks on the housing are completely
caught on the hooks of the cover.
