I use the VDM cable to control my 2 Tunze 6105s. Recently the 5 pin VDM plugs keeps popping out from the tunze connector. Seems like the connection of the plug is very loose. If i manually hold the plug tightly into the connector, everything works fine. but if i let it go, the VDM cable just falls out form the Tunze connector and the tunze is no longer controlling the apex.

any ideas on how i make it a tighter connection/sung fit? any other solution?

just seems like the plug isnt the right size for the connection...

On some Tunze pumps, the female DIN5 seems to recessed more than on others. Use a razor blade or exacto knife to trim about 1/16" off the jacket of the plug. This will allow the plug to seat better in those recessed jacks.

Worked like a charm. Used an exacto knife to trim a little bit of the plastic jacket... and the DIN 5 connector holds. Thank you!
