Chapter 1 Preparation for Use

System Configuration
  • When connecting two heads, different models of the TM-X5000 series heads can be connected to one controller.
  • By using the head connection extension cable and the repeater for head connection extension, the distance between the controller and the head can be extended up to 30 m.

It will be 30m with the following connection;

“Controller” ‒ “CB-C10R (10m)” ‒ “TM-CX10U (Repeater)” ‒ “CB-C10RX(10m)” ‒ “TM-CX10U (Repeater)” ‒ “CB-C10RX (10m)” ‒ “Receiver head”

  • The connection cable between the transmitter head and the receiver head can be extended up to 3 m using the transmitter-to-receiver cable.

System configuration example 1

When using a USB cable, either the dedicated monitor for TM-X or the PC (TM-X Navigator) will be connected to the controller.
