The cable length from the linear thruster to the drive should be limited to 10 m (32.8 ft). If
longer cables are necessary, a 1321-3R
x-x series line reactor is required. Refer to the 1321 Power
Conditioning Products Technical Data, publication
, to choose a line reactor for
applications requiring cable longer than 10 m (32.8 ft).
Attach Motor Cables
Use this procedure to attach the power and feedback cables after the linear thruster is mounted.
1.
Carefully align each cable connector with the respective linear thruster connector as
shown in the diagram.
2.
Fully seat the feedback connector and the power/brake connector.
•
Hand tighten the collar of a threaded DIN (M4) connector six turns.
•
Hand tighten the collar of a SpeedTec (M7) connector one-quarter turn.
ATTENTION: Keyed connectors must be properly aligned and hand-tightened the
recommended number of turns.
Improper connector alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force to seat
connectors. For example, the need to use tools to fully seat connectors.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in damage to equipment.
ATTENTION: When installing a threaded DIN cable with a M4 designation, an O-ring
must be installed in the groove immediately adjacent to the body of the linear thruster
connector. This O-ring dampens the effects of vibration at the cable-to-linear thruster
connection.
Cables requiring O-rings include 2090-XXNFMF-Sxx (standard, non-flex) feedback cables.
ATTENTION: When installing cables with a SpeedTec DIN connector with M7
designation, remove the O-ring.
