Safety PrecautionsMake sure to read all the 'Safety Precautions' thoroughly before using the products indicated in this guide book.If you have any other questions about the products, please contact us prior to use.As the safety precautions indicated here provide very important points regarding safety, be sure to follow them.Symbols used in the texts are as follows.

1. Risk of electric shock or fire.- Do not perform connecting and wiring operation with the power switched ON.- Do not disassemble or alter the products.- Make sure to ground the shielding layer. Note: Single grounding results in induced voltage at the ungrounded end. Grounding both ends may cause a temperature increase to the shielding layer.

2. Risk of burn injury, burnout, or fire.- Do not apply voltage or current exceeding the rated level.- Do not use the cable exceeding the rated temperature in consideration of the operating environment.

1. Prohibited matters at wire/cable processing.- When installing a terminal joint of the high-voltage cable, make sure to remove the outer semiconductive layer

thoroughly without any residue, otherwise it may cause an insulation failure.- Do not install the wire or cable with torsion remained, otherwise it may damage the products.- Do not use the wire or cable for any purpose other than that which is provided for each product, otherwise it

may damage the products.- Be sure that no water, etc. enters the conductor when terminating the wire or cable, otherwise it may damage

the products.

2. Handling Precautions- Make sure that tension or bending radius does not exceed the permissible level, otherwise it may break or damage the conductor and result in shortening the product life.

- When the wire or cable is subjected to tension or vibration, be sure to clamp terminals securely to prevent the cores from being wrongly positioned. Otherwise, it may damage the products.

- Load the drums in a vertical state (on its flange side). Loading them sideways tangles the wire or cable and makes it difficult in unloading them.

- When unloading drums, make sure to use a forklift or crane. Also be aware that coils should be treated carefully. If dropped from the delivery vehicle, the drums or products may be damaged.

- When lifting a drum with a crane, be sure to use a long wire so that the wiring angle is 60 degrees or less. If being lifted with a short wire and the wiring angle becomes 60 degrees or more, the lateral pressure exerts on the drum flange and crushes the flange, resulting in product damage.

WARNINGS : Ignoring warnings and handling the products incorrectly may lead to serious injury or death.

CAUTIONS : Ignoring cautions and handling the products incorrectly may lead to injury or property damage.

Class 3

Class 4

This cable has the most basic structure consisting of flexible conductors, insulation, and sheath. There is no reinforcement under the sheath.

Cradle core (bedding) is arranged between cores and therefore the thickness of sheath is thicker than that of class 3. It results higher resistance to impact or wear than that of class 3.

As this cable has reinforcement in the middle of the sheath and the thickness of both insulation and sheath are thicker than that of class 2, it results high resistance to impact or wear. Reinforcement applied in the middle of the sheath generally consists of sailcloth, however embedded yarn braid is used instead of sailcloth in case of more flexibility.

This is the most general-purpose low- voltage cable and can be used for outdoors.

This cable is suitable for conditions where there is high possibility of damage.

This cable is used to severe applications, such as for coal cutter, etc. used in coal mining.

System)

- High flexibility and bending resistance. (however, not suitable for applications where cables are subjected to lateral pressure, such as carrier drum system)

- High resistance to lateral pressure.- Reduced cable corkscrewing by making rubber

sheath solidal structure.- Robust type of chloroprene is used as sheath.

- High resistance to lateral pressure and wear.- Robust type of chloroprene is used as sheath.

- High torsion resistance.- Improved slipping performance between cores by

individually taping on each core.

- High resistance to lateral pressure, tension, and bending.

- Small-size conductors have steel wires in addition to copper wires to increase the kink resistance and tension resistance.

- Robust type of chloroprene is used as sheath.

- High flexibility and bending resistance. (however, not suitable for reeling system)- More efficient cable installation because of its

smaller bending radius than those of round cable.

Structural Features- Robust type of chloroprene is used as the sheath to which the reinforcement is further applied to increase the lateral pressure resistance.

- Steel wires are twisted together in the conductors to increase the tension resistance.

Precautions for Use- If the cables are twisted at reeling, please apply grease onto the cable surface before operation.

* The sheath thickness of 600V RE(V)-2PNCT-RF corresponds to that of the Class 3 cables.

System Application Precautions

1. Festoon System

2. Cable Chain System

(1) Permissible bending radius (R) of the cable shall be as follows.However, if specified in the individual specification, prioritize the indicated value.

Please attach a bar to each hanger in order to secure the min. bending radius of the cable when gathering the system.

(2) Cable hangers (the first hanger to be connected to the structure) shall be connected with a wire rope or chain as a tension member and do not apply tension to the cables.(The length of the wire rope or chain shall be less than 0.9 time of the cable length.)

(3) Cable hanger must be fixed so that it cannot be rotated.(4) Do not unfold the system while cables remain twisted.(5) For multiple installation, please clamp all conductors securely so that the cable becomes flat-shaped.(6) Fixed cable ends shall be installed by winding them around a drum or hanger with permissible bending

radii or more so that any concentrative stress by bending or tension, etc. is not applied to the fixed ends when the cable is moved.

(7) Hangers shall be in a rotatable state when cables are suspended spirally. In this case, cables shall be twisted when being pulled out. Therefore, the torsional direction of the cable must be in the direction where the twisting of cable cores becomes tight, and the torsional angle must be 70 degrees/m max. (recommended value: 35 degrees/m max).

(1) Permissible bending radius (R) of the cable shall be as follows.However, if specified in the individual specification, prioritize the indicated value.

(2) It is recommended to use the caterpillar system, which can support the cables so that their centers are located at the center of the tracks. In this case, the hole diameter for supports must be large enough to enable cables to move loosely within considerable clearance to prevent the cables from being subjected to unreasonable bending or force when the tracks are bent.

(3) Only one cable must be routed into each support hole and no multiple cables shall be routed into one hole.

(4) When using a box-type guide, make sure that the cables shall not be overlapped inside the box. Please use dividers if necessary to prevent interference between cables.

(5) Make sure to fix the supply and receiving ends of the cable securely to prevent the internal cores from moving. It is recommended to fix them using a split clamp with a width of 100 mm or more (contact length to the cables).Targeted deformation ratio of the cable is approx. 15% for the low-voltage type cables and approx. 5% for the high-voltage type cables.Insufficient clamping may cause corkscrewing or kink to the cables, which may result in short-circuit.

(6) The length of the straight-line portion from the fixed end to the radius curve end of the cable must be secured to the longest possible extent (targeted length: 20 times or more than the cable diameter).

(1) Please remove the torsion of the cable before installation.(2) Make sure that the distance between adjacent suspensions shall be 12 times or more than the cable

diameter (for low-voltage cables).(3) For hanging multiple cables, there shall not be any interference between adjacent cables.(4) When hanging multiple cables at the same position, it is recommended to change the height of each

cable loop so that they are installed on different levels.(5) The length of straight-line portion from the fixed end to radius curve end of the cable must be secured to

the longest possible extent (targeted length: 20 times or more than the cable diameter).(6) Using the cable attached with counter weight causes lateral pressure and corkscrewing, which may

result in short-circuit. Please consult us for cable selection.(7) Please consult us when using the cable under severe conditions, such as stroke length, frequency, or

speed, etc.(8) For a normal elevator, please use the specified lift control cables.

(1) Permissible bending radii shall be 6 times or more than the cable diameter (for low-voltage cables).(2) Cable length must be secured to the longest possible extent and installed so that the torsional angle per

unit length becomes as small as possible.(Make sure that the torsional angle is 70 degrees/m max. Recommended value: ±35 degrees/m max.)

(3) For hanging multiple cables, there should not be any interference between adjacent cables. Do not bundle and fix the cables with the banding tie etc.

(4) To prevent any concentrative torsional stress to the fixed ends of the cable, make sure to secure a longer length for the straight-line portions of the cable or to create sufficient bending radii at the fixed ends when installing the cable.

(5) As the cable length varies when twisted, sufficient slack shall be obtained.(6) Please consult us when using the cable under a severe torsional condition, or for single-core or shielded

type cables.

(1) Torsion may occur when pulling up the cable in a coiled state.After being pulled up, the cable shall be installed in the direction where the twisting of the cable becomes tight (that is, S-lay laid cables shall be collected in a clockwise direction).

(2) Coiling diameter must be secured to the largest possible extent (20 times or more than the cable diameter).

(3) Please contact us for the cable selection since it depends on the basket configuration, lifting height, or lifting speed, etc.

(4) Basket must not contain any object, which may block the coiling operation such as a high corn, etc., otherwise it may result in a reversed coiling direction and cause some trouble to the cable.

(5) Torsion of the cable tend to collect downward, the winding diameter of the lower section of the coil becomes smaller and the upper section becomes larger than those for the initially coiled, the differences caused by which must be considered at the cable installation.

(1) Reel diameter (D) shall be 20d or more (d: cable diameter).(2) Make sure that reels can be rotated smoothly.(3) Weight and load of the moving reel shall be minimized so that the cable is not slacked, in order to

reduce the tension applied to the cable.(4) For terminal clamping at the fixed ends of the cable, they shall be clamped by two points inserting a wire

saddle between the clamps and snaking the cable. In this case, make sure that the initial grip force shall be two times more than the max. tension applied to the cable.

(5) As the cable is applied with tension, bending, and lateral pressure at the same time, be aware that it is not suitable for applications with high frequency.

(1) For the operation button, the specified chain shall be attached and the cable shall be free from tension.(2) On mounting points of the operation button, suitable protection shall be applied to prevent the cable

from partial bending.

(1) Please follow the precautions indicated in 5. Reel System (Traveling).(2) When winding up the cable, it can be twisted due to its own weight or interference between adjacent

cables. In this case, the cable surface shall be lubricated with grease to prevent it from being twisted.(3) When using the cable under severe conditions, such as lifting height, lifting speed, or tension, etc.,

normal cables (RE-2PNCT or RE-3PNCT) may be kinked and shorted. Please consult us when using the cable under such severe conditions.

(1) Permissible bending radius (R) of the cable shall be as follows.However, if specified in the individual specification, please prioritize the indicated value.

(2) Constant and instant tension applied to the cable must be less than the permissible level.(3) Lateral pressure applied to the cable shall be as follows.

However, if specified in the individual specification, please prioritize the indicated value.

(4) Do not wind up the cables when they are in a twisted state.(5) When winding a round cable in a cylindrical reel, it is recommended to apply a traverser mechanism for

array winding operation. Random winding into the reel results in the twisting of cables.(6) For applying a cable guide roller for the reel, the min. permissible bending radius must be secured.(7) Be sure that the cable is extended only in a straight line from the storage reel.

Winding and unwinding the cable in a not straight line may cause twisting to the cable.(8) During operation, make sure that reel system (reel, guide roll, side roll, and pit, etc.) shall remain in a

relative position without deviation. Especially when using a flat cable, no lateral pressure shall be ap-plied to the cable in the direction of its shorter sides.

(9) For terminal clamping at the fixed ends of the cable, they shall be clamped after winding more than one turn of the cable around the anchor drum, or clamped by two points inserting a wire saddle between the clamps and snaking the cable. In this case, make sure that the initial grip force is 2 times or more than the max. tension applied to the cable. Insufficient clamping may cause corkscrewing or kink to the cable.

(1) Permissible bending radius (R) of the cable shall be as follows.However, if specified in the individual specification, please prioritize the indicated value.

(2) When installed, the cable shall not be twisted.(3) Carrier drums shall be transferred with wire ropes. There shall be no tension applied to the cable with

enough slack.(4) Make sure to fix the supply and receiving ends of the cable securely to prevent the internal cores from

moving. It is recommended to fix them using a split clamp with a width of 100 mm or more (contact length to the cables).Targeted deformation ratio of the cables is approx. 15% for the low-voltage type cables and approx. 5% for the high-voltage type cables. Insufficient clamping causes corkscrewing or kink to the cables, which may result in short-circuit.

(1) For safety, be sure to follow the 'Safety Precautions' indicated on the back of the front cover.(2) Be aware that the insulation resistance of sheath (cable armor) being used on flexible cables has been reduced in order to prioritize its mechanical strength.(3) Insulation resistance between shields is not normally considered in case that cores or twisted pairs are electrostatically shielded. If any insulation resistance is needed

between shields, please let us know in advance.(4) Electrostatic shields shall be single-ended. Grounding both ends may result in picking up dark-current noise. It is also recommended that you actually check the respective

end (terminal) and have the more effective side grounded.(5) Cables may become harder at low temperature. Please contact us for any solution in case of using them constantly at low temperature, such as in refrigerated warehouse, etc.(6) Chloroprene rubber used as a sheath material may absorb water and swell when being used underwater for a long period. Make sure that terminals shall be completely free

from water intrusion and also measures shall be taken to prevent an electric leakage, when it is required to use the cable underwater.(7) Cable cores may have been lubricated for smoother movement inside the cable. In order to prevent any surface leakage, please clean the insulation surface with alcohol

before performing the terminal sealing.(8) When winding the cable into the figure, 8, be sure to form as big loops as possible. Please also make sure not to create small loops when unwinding the cable since there is a

risk that it may be twisted and kinked.(9) During the cold season, drum coil winding habit may remain due to cable hardening. In such case, please warm the cable indoor in prior to use.(10)Do not apply creosote treatment (preservative) to wooden cleats since the chloroprene rubber and vinyl can be negatively affected.(11)As the colored EP rubber may be discolored by sunlight or ultraviolet ray, do not expose the insulation coated on cores of PNCT to sunlight.(12)Please handle the optical fiber cord and optical connector carefully (no twisting, stretching, nor excessive bending is permitted).(13)Some cables may contain powder lubricant inside. When handling, make sure to wear protective gloves and mask, etc. as necessary to prevent particles from scattering. After

operation, please wash away any adhered particles thoroughly.(14)When performing a terminal sealing on the high-voltage (3300 V or over) flexible cables, some conductive material may remain on the EP rubber insulator after removing the

tape from the outer semiconductive tape. In such case, please clean any residue completely using sandpaper.

(1) Please remove the torsion of the cable before installation.(2) Make sure that the distance between adjacent suspensions shall be 12 times or more than the cable

diameter (for low-voltage cables).(3) For hanging multiple cables, there shall not be any interference between adjacent cables.(4) When hanging multiple cables at the same position, it is recommended to change the height of each

cable loop so that they are installed on different levels.(5) The length of straight-line portion from the fixed end to radius curve end of the cable must be secured to

the longest possible extent (targeted length: 20 times or more than the cable diameter).(6) Using the cable attached with counter weight causes lateral pressure and corkscrewing, which may

result in short-circuit. Please consult us for cable selection.(7) Please consult us when using the cable under severe conditions, such as stroke length, frequency, or

speed, etc.(8) For a normal elevator, please use the specified lift control cables.

(1) Permissible bending radii shall be 6 times or more than the cable diameter (for low-voltage cables).(2) Cable length must be secured to the longest possible extent and installed so that the torsional angle per

unit length becomes as small as possible.(Make sure that the torsional angle is 70 degrees/m max. Recommended value: ±35 degrees/m max.)

(3) For hanging multiple cables, there should not be any interference between adjacent cables. Do not bundle and fix the cables with the banding tie etc.

(4) To prevent any concentrative torsional stress to the fixed ends of the cable, make sure to secure a longer length for the straight-line portions of the cable or to create sufficient bending radii at the fixed ends when installing the cable.

(5) As the cable length varies when twisted, sufficient slack shall be obtained.(6) Please consult us when using the cable under a severe torsional condition, or for single-core or shielded

type cables.

(1) Torsion may occur when pulling up the cable in a coiled state.After being pulled up, the cable shall be installed in the direction where the twisting of the cable becomes tight (that is, S-lay laid cables shall be collected in a clockwise direction).

(2) Coiling diameter must be secured to the largest possible extent (20 times or more than the cable diameter).

(3) Please contact us for the cable selection since it depends on the basket configuration, lifting height, or lifting speed, etc.

(4) Basket must not contain any object, which may block the coiling operation such as a high corn, etc., otherwise it may result in a reversed coiling direction and cause some trouble to the cable.

(5) Torsion of the cable tend to collect downward, the winding diameter of the lower section of the coil becomes smaller and the upper section becomes larger than those for the initially coiled, the differences caused by which must be considered at the cable installation.
