4.12 Connecting the KCM
It is necessary to make the following connections:
• Power line
• DC drive motor, stepper motor, KV1-KV3 vibratory drive or AC
interface application
• Tachometer or speed pick-up for DC drives, the feedback coil for
KV1-3 vibratory drives and the quadrature encoder output for the
stepper drive
• Necessary input/output connections for the alarm relay, for enabling
signals and/or for any other I-O functions
• Safety switch connections as required
• Data lines to operating unit and/or SCADA.
4.12.1 General wiring instructions
• Do not run AC mains or DC motor wiring in the same conduits with
signal wiring.
• All wiring must be accessible for service.
• Use of solid conductor wire is not permitted.
• Wire insulation must be suitable for the applicable service.
• Cables are not included in the items supplied.
• The cables for the speed pick-up or tachometer and data
connections have to be shielded.
• For some applications, it is beneficial to shield the drive power lines
as well.
• Follow wire length limitations as specified.
• Use only the provided wiring diagram for connection. The
schematics supplied in the appendix are for review only.
• Electrical connection diagram examples are found in the Appendix.
• If the KCM SS used in conjunction with the Hygiene mounting must
be read the instructions in section 4.5.
▲ The KCM is auto-switching for AC power. No selection is required
for 115 Vac or 230 Vac power lines.
▲ Do not put material into a feeder before running the motor. Motor
direction must be determined before bulk material is added, or
feeder damage may result.
