JOYSTICK MOUNTING

For the past two decades, Cyber-Tech, Inc. has been supplying top quality industrial joysticks. Please refer to Figures 2A and 3A for proper mounting method of the joystick that is used for your application.

STANDARD PANEL CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS

FIG. 2A 
For all top-mount joysticks, Cyber-Tech, Inc. recommends that edges of all openings be deburred and cleaned to ensure proper seal. (Please refer to Figure 4A for cutout dimensions.) Special Sealed Mounting Kit available, Part # 99-020002-01

FIG. 3A 
For all bottom-mounted joysticks, Cyber-Tech, Inc. recommends that edges of all openings be deburred and cleaned to ensure proper seal. (Please refer to Figure 4A for cutout dimensions.)

FIG. 2B/3B 
Cyber-Tech, Inc. recommends that all mounting screws for joysticks be set to a specific torque rate (recommended torque rate = 30 IN-LBS). If you find that 30 IN-LBS is not sufficient we recommend the use of Loctite 272.

A = 30 IN-LBS
B = Front of joystick

(OVER TIGHTENING OF IMPROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATION MAY RESULT IN STRIPPING OR SNAPPING THE SCREW)

FIG. 4A
All of Cyber-Tech, Inc.'s Handy-Grips and Ergo-Grips will fit through the specified cutout hole except the 1801-RB, 8601-RB And EG-950-RB which require a split-mount. Split-mounts consist of removing the handle from the joystick base, mounting the joystick base to the panel and then remounting the handle to the joystick base.

1. Center hole cutout = 3.63in
2. Mounting screw holes = 0.25in
3. Panel install (top mount only) drill and tap for the 10-32 thread

CABLE ROUTING

Cable ties are the most common and readily available form of cable attachment on the market. Although Cyber-Tech, Inc. does not promote the use of cable ties due to the potential problems if not properly installed, we understand that sometimes there is no other readily available option for the user. A cable tie can put a tremendous amount of force on the cable and result in faulty and/or intermittent signal transmission. We recommend that the installer use special care not to over tighten the cable ties and be careful not to damage the cable when installing cable ties.

PINCHING THE CABLES 
Care should be taken when routing cable to prevent any pinching or cutting of the cable when the unit is operated. A cable loop, with sufficient slack, is recommended at any point where thee cable may be put under stress during operation of the unit. Cyber-Tech, Inc. recommends that a rubber grommet be used if the cable must be routed through holes in the sheet metal or steel frames to prevent the cable jacket from excessive wear or being cut when the unit is in operation.

FIG. 1A 
As shown in figure 1A Cyber-Tech, Inc. has proven over the past 20 years that this is the preferred method of cable attachment. By using the coil method around the control stick, in conjunction with a cable clamp located a minimum of 5 inches from the last coil. We have proven that the flex point of the cable is maintained on the back side of the cable clamp.

By using FIG. 1A you can insure proper switch life of a unit, non-flexed point on the cable, and best overall results. This is Cyber-Tech, Inc.'s preferred method of control stick attachment.

FIG. 1B
As shown in figure 1B Cyber-Tech, Inc. understands the importance of ensuring a solid non flex-point on the cable. If FIG. 1A is not obtainable, we recommend FIG. 1B as a secondary option, although it is not as effective as the coil method. Cyber-Tech, Inc. feels by using a cable tie in conjunction with the cable clamp it would reduce the overall flex point on the cable.

FIG. 1C 
Cyber-Tech, Inc. does not endorse FIG. 1C. If the installation leaves no other choice we recommend the use of 2 cable ties.

The installer must leave adequate cable slack. This cable method will result in a dramatic flex-point of the cable resulting in broken or pinched wires.
