standards.

Model 2181 Electrical Installation

The Model 2181 Turntable is configured to operate using 200-230 VAC, single

phase, 50/60 Hz service. It is recommended to operate at this voltage level to

reduce the surge currents necessary to power an electric motor.

1. The branch circuit supplying power to the motor base should be

protected from excess current according to local electrical codes. An

integral circuit breaker is mounted inside the main bearing on one of the

bearing support blocks. The circuit breaker is specifically designed for

the inductive load presented by the electric motor.

2. Make sure the conductor size is adequate for the motor load and the

distance from the mains source. Improperly sized conductors will lead to

a high voltage drop in the power conductors and cause reduced starting

torque and premature motor failure.

3. The motor base assembly is provided with a non-terminated flexible

conduit with input power leads exposed. The flexible conduit is to be

terminated into a junction box fitted on or near the motor base. Terminate

the power leads of the motor base assembly according to local electrical

code requirements. Following is the conductor color code:

Brown: AC high

Blue: AC neutral

Green/Yellow: Protective earth/safety ground

Connect the fiber optic control cable and install the power connection according

to local electrical code. See the Model 2090 Series Multi-Device Controller

Manual for information on connecting the fiber optic cable. After the fiber optic

cable is installed, secure it with a wire tie to one of the leveling screws.
