Apply the Motor Power/brake Shield Clamp
The power/brake cable shield attaches to the drive cable clamp. A clamp spacer
is included with the 2198-H2DCK feedback converter kit for cable diameters
that are too small for a tight fit within the drive clamp alone.
Follow these steps to apply the motor power/brake shield clamp.
1. To provide stress relief to the motor power and brake conductors, route
the conductors with service loops.
2. Make sure that the cable clamp tightens around the cable shield and
provides a good bond between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
3. Tighten each screw, a few turns at a time, until the maximum torque
value of 2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in) is achieved.
See Figure 56
on page 92 for a cable-clamp attachment illustration.
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid a hazard of electrical shock, make sure that
shielded power cables are grounded according to recommendations.
IMPORTANT Loosen the retention screw, if needed, until you can start
threading both clamp screws with the cable shield under the
clamp.
IMPORTANT If the power/brake cable shield has a loose fit inside the shield
clamp, insert the clamp spacer between the shield clamp and the
drive to reduce the clamp diameter. When the clamp screws are tight,
2.0 N•m (17.7 lb•in), the result must be a high-frequency bond
between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
