Connecting the Flat Cables

This section describes how to connect the flat cables for all modules on the TeSys island.

TeSys island modules are connected together with flat cables. The cables are keyed such that they can only be installed one way. If the island is mounted horizontally, the flat cable at the top left corner of a module plugs into a connector located on the top right corner of the left-adjacent module. If the island is mounted vertically, modules connect top to bottom. All modules except the bus coupler include the flat cable connector.

To connect the flat cables, perform the following steps:

1. Remove the protective plug from the top right side of the bus coupler.

2. Securely connect to the bus coupler the flat cable from the module mounted directly to the right of the bus coupler.

3. Remove the protective plug from the top right of the module next to the bus coupler and connect the flat cable from the module directly to the right.

4. Connect all flat cables for each module included on the island. Do not remove the protective plug from the last module on the island.
