Steering wheel member: Notes

The optic cables must be handled carefully so as not to distort the signal.

• It is extremely important that the two leads in the connector are not mixed up.
• The cables cannot be spliced.
• The lead must not be bent to form a curve with a radius of less than 25 mm.
• The lead must not be subjected to temperatures greater than 185°F (85°C).
• The lead ends should be kept free from dirt.
• The lead must not be subjected to blows that could cause the transparent plastic to whiten, thereby reducing light intensity. This could cause disruptions in communication.
• The lead should not be stretched across a sharp edge, which would cause increased damping of the signal.
