Special cable
The PW-cable is a weld spatter-resistant PUR-cable that has good
resistance to weld splatter. A special connection cable is used for
sensors that need to be used at higher ambient temperatures.
Tightening torques
The permitted tightening torque is indicated in the data sheets for
the modules.
