LoadRunner connectors have keyways and are gendered and thumb tightened for ease of use. System kits are supplied with fully molded connectors. Rewirable plugs are available for replacements or repairs. The RS-232 connector is industry standard. This manual also shows interchangeable rewirable plugs.

Figure 3-4. Connectors

RLWS cables and connectors are specially designed to provide maximum signal strength and reliability. Substitution of cabling other than RL WS supplied cabling may cause inconsistent and erratic readings. Care should be taken when routing cables to provide protection from sharp edges, drive-line rotation, exha ust pipe, or any o ther potential damage. Secure in place with cable ties to a snug fit. Locate the junction box mid-chassis at a suitable accessible position and fix firmly with screws supplied.
