Rajant ES1 M8 adapter cables use a connector similar to this molded straight shielded 5-pin male con-

nector from Finecables Enterprise Co. Ltd., for example MA08MSBF05STXXYB25, where XX is cable length

and Y is “C” for PVC or “R” for PUR cable jacket.

2.5.2 Connecting ES1 M8 Adapter Cable

Use the following steps to connect an ES1 M8 adapter cable:

• Turn off power to the BreadCrumb ES1’s power supply.

• It is difficult to visually line up the M8 keys, so instead do it by feel. Gently press the cable’s M8 male

connector against the enclosure’s M8 female connector and rotate the male connector until you feel

it move slightly into the female connector.

• While pressing the M8 male connector toward the female connector, turn the M8 male connector’s

threaded metal collar clockwise to catch the first thread. Once the threads have been engaged, the

connection should be more stable.

• Repeat these two steps until fully connected:

◦ Turn the M8 male connector’s threaded metal collar clockwise to thread it further into the en-

closure’s female connector.

◦ Press the M8 male connector further into the female connector.

• When the adapter cable is fully connected, power may be reapplied to the ES1 power supply.

Tip

The optional USB and Reset adapter cable has thicker molded plastic and a threaded collar that is

harder to turn. You may need to remove an antenna or antenna cable to get a good grip on the collar

and install this cable.

Important

The male M8 connector of the adapter cables is a sealed connector when properly installed. Taping is

still recommended for outdoor installations. The USB 2.0 connector of the adapter cable is not sealed

and therefore any USB connection must be taped against water ingress. The reset button of the availa-

ble USB/reset adapter cable is not sealed. When the M8 port is not being used, replace the M8 protec-

tive cap by screwing it in clockwise.
