*The shield connections of the feedback cable should be connected to the Compax Feedback X12 header's metal housing (if possible). **The encoder feedback cable should be connected to the X12 RESOLVER connector on the Compax. The feedback cable should always be connected to X12. The X13 ENCODER connector is strictly used for encoder options E2, E3, or E4.
***The wire colors may not apply to your cable. This is the standard cable feedback colors, however, items such as Hi-Flex cables may have a different color code. If your feedback wire colors do not match, please contact Parker. These colors should apply to the FL, FO, and "10" options in the part number.
