LOW VOLTAGE CABLE
INSTALLATION AND
REMOVAL
(See Figures 18, 19, 20, and 21)
A low voltage cable is provided to send power to
the high voltage cascade in the atomizer as well
as sending important information during operation
back to the MicroPak controls. One piece of the
cable is a permanent length of approximately
60-inches (1.5 meters) from the robot plate end.
The connecting cable can be ordered in various
lengths depending on the distance required to
reach from the robot arm to the MicroPak controller.
The ends of the cables have a male and female
quick disconnect end. This provides for a quick
and easy removal of the cable at the robot plate
if servicing or replacement is required.
It is important that the quick disconnect fitting be
secured to a good ground source. The A12241-XX
cable is supplied with a ground cable which can be
secured to the bulkhead connector and the other
end to a known ground source. The cable can also
be grounded by attaching the bulkhead connector
to a grounded bulkhead plate. The bulkhead plate
can be no more than 1/8-inch (3.18mm) in thick-
ness. The bracket should be made as in Figure
19 to hold the connector from turning. To mate
the connectors, align the raised key section of the
cable on the applicator end with the key groove
of the cable that goes to the MicroPak. Push the
male end into the mating connector until an audi-
ble click is heard. Tug on cable to ensure that it
is locked in place. To remove or disconnect the
cable, pull back on the male connector shell and
pull cable back at the same time. To remove this
section from the robot plate, remove the applicator.
Locate the set screw holding the flanged plastic
9 pin connector. Loosen with a 3/32" hex key
wrench. Pull the cable out from the robot plate
end. Install new cable in reverse direction, align
the 9 pin connector with the alignment mark on
the robot plate face and tighten set screw. Torque
5-10 lbs•in (0.56-1.13 Nm).
