Extending Cables
A. Exposure Switch:
The only way to extend the exposure switch length is to splice the cord. You would need to purchase an extra exposure cord for this process. We do not
recommend this setup. Warranty is voided for the spliced cable (Exposure siwtch).
Exposure switch cables can be exteded as with industry standard - using nominal low voltage wire, wired/spliced inline conforming all local codes, or the following OEM part which can be wired inline. Vatech America advises to order a secondary Exposure switch to use if/when splicing:
