FAQ

Q: Can the EVC002 follow a moving machine part all day?

A: Yes. The cable is drag-chain suitable. It survives over 5 million bending cycles. Keep the bend radius at 10 times the cable diameter or more.

Q: Does the EVC002 fit sensors from other brands?

A: Often yes. The socket is a standard M12 A-coded, 4-pin design. Check the pin layout and the thread of your device before you order.

Q: What happens if the cable gets wet or washed down?

A: Nothing. The mated connector reaches IP 69K. The FKM seal and the molded TPU body keep water out. Make sure the nut is tight.

Q: How tight should I turn the locking nut?

A: Use 0.6 to 1.5 Nm. Hand force is often too low. A small torque wrench gives a safe, repeatable seal without damage.

Q: Can I run 4 A through all pins at once?

A: The cable handles 4 A total. Above 60 °C, reduce the load to 80 %. Plan the current per pin to avoid heat build-up in a cabinet.
