Revision as of 21:44, 21 October 2016

This is the wiring schematic for Cable Spec 21 used in MQ85 benders. This is a 15 foot cable. Use yellow sheath if possible. Use twisted pair Ethernet. Never use solid core cable.

The wire colors can vary from the diagram shown above. It is only important that the wires are connected to the correct points.
The A row in the Amp Mod U block (the black rectangular connector) is always on the KEY side of the connector.
Pin 1 is indicated with an arrow embedded in the plastic of the Amp Mod U block.
The wire in A1 is not required for this bender. Some cables will not include that wire.
The wire going into B3 is the wire that indicates if the bender is ON or OFF. Pin B3 outputs between 5 and 10 volts DC. If the bender control is ON, then the DSR signal at the Benderlink computer's COM port will show ACTIVE.
