Chapter 4 Connect the Kinetix 3 Drive
Wiring Guidelines
Use these guidelines as a reference when wiring the connectors on your Kinetix 3
drive.
Follow these steps when wiring the connectors on your Kinetix 3 drive.
1. Prepare the wires for attachment to each connector plug by removing
insulation equal to the recommended strip length.
We recommended using ferrules to reduce risk of electrical shorts between
stranded wires.
2. Route the cable or wires to your Kinetix 3 drive.
3. Follow these steps to attach wires to connectors.
a. Open terminal locking clamp with connector tool.
b. Insert wire.
c. Release tool.
Refer to connector pinout tables in Chapter 3
or the interconnect
diagrams in Appendix A
.
4. Gently pull on each wire to make sure it does not come out of its terminal;
reinsert and tighten any loose wires.
5. Insert the connector plug into the drive connector.
For connector locations of the Kinetix 3 drives, refer to Kinetix 3 Drive
Connectors and Indicators on page 30.
When removing insulation from wires, refer to the table on 61
for strip lengths.
To improve system performance, run wires and cables in the wireways as
established in Establishing Noise Zones
on page 26.
Use caution not to nick, cut, or otherwise damage strands as you
remove the insulation.
