When the detector head is the moving element, it carries the signal cable with it during operation. Take care, in such a case, that the radius of curvature of the signal cable is not smaller than 100mm and excessive force is not applied to the cable. It is a good idea to protect the cable with a flexible support cover.

The signal cable is durable enough to withstand repeated bending up to approximately 2 million times (when the bending radius is limited to more than 100mm). When repeated bending exceeding 2 million times is expected, the signal cable should be considered as a consumable part. In such a case, carrying a spare cable will allow immediate replacement when necessary and minimize machine downtime.
