Lemo connector wire separation on PRO I battery base from repeated rotation
20 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Wires can separate from the Lemo connector on the battery base if the battery hanger is rotated excessively on its post, causing loss of power to peripheral equipment
- Rotating the battery hanger repeatedly while trying to route cables or reposition the centerpost can create enough torque to pull wires loose from the Lemo connector
- When rotating the battery hanger is necessary, always rotate in the same direction and then reverse back in the opposite direction to minimize stress on the wiring
- Avoiding rotation of the battery hanger altogether is preferable to minimize the risk of connector wire separation
Depends on
- The failure mode was specific to one user's repeated rotation attempts while reorganizing cable routing
- The issue occurs on the lower junction box of the PRO I system
