Understanding Basic 
Wiring Requirements
This section contains basic wiring information for the Ultra3000.    
ATTENTION
!
Plan the installation of your system so that you can 
perform all cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding 
with the system removed from the enclosure. 
Because the system is of the open type construction, 
be careful to keep any metal debris from falling into 
it. Metal debris or other foreign matter can become 
lodged in the circuitry, which can result in damage 
to components.
IMPORTANT
This section contains common PWM servo system 
wiring configurations, size, and practices that can be 
used in a majority of applications. National Electrical 
Code, local electrical codes, special operating 
temperatures, duty cycles, or system configurations 
take precedence over the values and methods 
provided.
