I can’t find instructions for wiring the vortex to the ALTMILL. Connections look different. Anyone do it yet?

Was wondering the same as I am setting mine up today.
The power/control cables seem long enough to possible route somehow but not the inductive sensor (closed loop).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Wondering if I need to add some quick disconnects though if I route the wires.
My issue was I was given the non closed loop version since I was an early buyer of the altmill. Where are you putting your vortex? The motor side should be pretty darn close to the controller box.
I’ll likely mount to the far left and about 10-12" in (away from front). I didn’t measure but looks like I have 8 to 12 feet of cables for the motor and about 6 feet for the inductor/sensor.
I was considering running the wires into the Y (left side) cable chain from the top of the gantry but am left at that fact that I would still need to disconnect them to get full use of the workspace.
Maybe I should clarify - I do not want it permanently installed - I had assumed that it was meant to be removed when not in use.

Yeah mine just goes up there when I need it. If your controller box where all the wires go (can’t rember correct terminology) is mounted on the left like in the manual then I would suggest just setting it up so the vortex motor is pretty much directly above it on the spoil board
