The ArmorBlock MaXum™ Ι/Ο Cable Bases mate with 4 or 8 point
modules depending on your installation requirements. No
modification is required. Modules are interchangeable whether flat or
round media cable bases are used. This interchangeability provides
plug and play block upgrade capability and easy field replacement.
The completely assembled ArmorBlock module and base requires no
enclosure.
These instructions describe the installation of each cable base. The
catalog numbers for the cable bases are:
• 1792D-CB12 for 12mm drop cable installation, see page 3
• 1792D-CBFM for flat media installation using KwikLink™
cabling, see page 7
(Please note: ArmorBlock MaXum modules and flat or round media
cables are ordered and shipped separately.)

Attach the Cables
1. Attach your network cable and power cable (if used) to the
connectors.
Note: The network and power cables drop straight down
away from the module.
2. Cover the power connector with a micro cap if it is not used.
3. Attach your point connector cables.
Note: Point connector cables drop at a 45 degree angle
because of the pin settings, if you use a right angle connector.
4. Cover any unused point connectors with micro caps.

Some network installations may subject the cables to a great deal of
flexing. In this case, we recommend clamping the flat media cable at
a specific distance from the base. Refer to the DN-6.7.2 publication
for more information.
Prepare the Flat Media Cables
The 1792D-CBFM cable base using a KwikLink flat media system
accommodates the following cable routings while maintaining full
IP67 sealing integrity. Determine if your network system will pass
through or end at this cable base. These options are available:
• DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power cables both pass through the
base
• DeviceNet cable only passes through the base
• DeviceNet passes through and Auxiliary Power ends at this
base
• Both DeviceNet and Auxiliary Power end at this base

IMPORTANT
You must apply end caps to cables that end at the
base prior to installation. The caps seal the cables.
The cable, with the end cap applied, must end
between the two lines on the cable base as shown
below. When Auxiliary Power is not used, seal
both openings to the power slot. See specific
instructions on page 10.
The cable, with the end cap applied, must end between the two lines
on the cable base, as shown below.

If a power cable is not
used, seal the cable

end caps in the slots
to seal them.

Attach the Flat Media Cables
The KwikLink DeviceNet flat media cable is a four-conductor cable. It
has a key design feature that allows it to “seat” in the cable base in
only one direction. Labels indicate which slot to use for the Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet connection.
To attach the flat media cable use the steps listed in the following
graphic.
1. Remove the end cap
covers from the storage
area. These are used to
cover the cables when they
end.
3. Align the keying features of
the cable and base. The cable
and cable slots are angled. The
cables can only be placed in one
direction.

2. Apply an end cap to cables
that end at this point in your
network. End caps cannot be
applied after the cables are
attached to the base.

4. Modules with outputs require
an Auxiliary Power cable. If the
module you use has outputs,
snap the black power cable into
the slot labeled POWER.
5. Snap the gray DeviceNet
cable into the slot labeled
NETWORK.
POWER and NETWORK labels indicate Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet cable placement.

ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Cable Bases Series B
Attach the Seal Block
The seal block has piercing contacts. Contact occurs when you attach
the seal block to the cable base. The seal block is designed to attach
to the base in only one direction.
ATTENTION
!
• The seal block has extremely sharp piercing
contacts. Do not press against them with
your fingers. You may be injured.
• You must properly align the seal block when
you attach it to the base. This will maintain
the integrity of the sealed base. You can only
pierce the cable once. Once pierced, the seal
block must not be removed. This will ensure
the inner conductors are not exposed by
pulling out the piercing contacts.
Avoid injury. Piercing
contacts are
extremely sharp.
Only one attempt to pierce the cable is allowed.
41534
To install the seal block:
1. Position the seal block over the cable base.
a. Match the arrows on the bottom of the base and seal block.
b. Align the four captive screws in the seal block with the
accepting receptacles in the base.
2. Tighten the screws with a torque of 8 to10 inch-pounds to
secure the module to the base. To assure even piercing,
tighten each screw a little at a time.

There are 3 seating lines on the sides of the seal
