1. Step depends on Frame Size:
• Frame Sizes R1…R4: Remove and discard the 
cable seals where conduit will be installed. (The 
cable seals are cone-shaped, rubber seals on 
the bottom of the drive.)
• Frame Sizes R4 and R5: Use punch to create 
holes for conduit connections as needed.
2. For each conduit run (input power, motor and 
control wiring must be separate), install liquid tight 
conduit connectors (not supplied).
3. Route the power wiring through conduit.
4. Route the motor wiring through conduit (not the 
same conduit as input power wiring run).
5. Strip the wires.
6. Connect the power, motor, and ground wires to 
the drive terminals.
Note: For R5 frame size, the minimum power cable size is 25 mm
2
 (4 AWG). For R6 
frame size, refer to Power terminal considerations – R6 Frame size on page 16. 
7. Route the control cables through the conduit (not 
the same conduit as either input power or motor 
wiring runs).
8. Use available secure points and tie strap landings to 
permanently secure control wiring at a minimum 
distance of 6 mm (1/4") from power wiring.
9. Strip the control cable sheathing and twist the 
copper screen into a pig-tail. 
10. Connect the ground screen pig-tail for digital and 
analog I/O cables at X1-1. (Ground only at drive 
end.)
11. Connect the ground screen pig-tail for RS485 cables 
at X1-28 or X1-32. (Ground only at drive end.)
12. Strip and connect the individual control wires to the drive 
terminals.
13. Install the conduit box cover (1 screw).
