8.2.1 Disconnecting the I/O Cable or Dummy Plug

The I/O cable should be disconnected with a straight outward motion only.

Use the following procedure to disconnect the cable.

CAUTION. When disconnecting the Channel Master I/O cable, do not

apply any upward force on the connector as it is being pulled off. Applying

an upward angle as the cable is disconnected puts stress on the end-cap

connector. This may cause several serious problems: a) The housing

connector or connector pins can crack. b) The O-ring on the bottom of the

housing connector can be damaged. c) The molded urethane on the

housing connector may separate from the brass insert. If the housing

connector is damaged in any of these ways, your Channel Master will

flood.

a. Remove the strain relief. Save all hardware.

b. Release the retaining strap by pulling it over the connector.

CAUTION. Failure to release the retaining strap before removing the cable

will break the retainer strap.

c. Grasp the cable close to the housing (see Figure 11, page 17). Your

thumb should rest on top of the connector or against the edge of the

housing. Do not try to fit your hand under the cable as it passes over

the housing. This is what causes the upward force!

d. Pull the cable straight out away from the housing with a gentle side-to-

side rocking motion. Do not apply any upward force on the connector

as it is being disconnected.

e. Install the dummy plug to protect the I/O cable connector pins.

8.2.2 Connecting the I/O Cable or Dummy Plug

The cable should be connected with a straight inward motion only. Use the

following procedure to connect the cable.

a. Apply a light coat of DC-111 lubricant to the rubber portion of the hous-

ing I/O cable connector pins. This will help seat the connector.

b. Gently push the cable or dummy plug straight in toward the housing

connector. Do not apply any upward force on the connector as it is be-

ing connected.

c. Roll the retaining strap over the connector.

d. Install the strain relief.
