Dual-axis Inverter Shield Clamp Installation
Follow these steps to apply the dual-axis inverter cable shield clamp.
1.
Loosen the clamp knob and determine if you need the clamp spacers.
The power/brake cable shield attaches to the dual-axis inverter cable
clamp. Clamp spacers are included with the dual-axis inverters for cable
diameters that are too small for a tight fit within the drive clamp alone.
The spacers are held captive by nylon rivets. Remove the rivets and
spacers when your cable shield is of sufficient diameter for the clamp to
hold the cable secure.
2.
Position the exposed portion of each cable braid directly in line with the
clamp.
3.
Hand tighten the clamp knob.
Make sure the cable clamp tightens around the cable shield and provides
a good bond between the cable shield and the drive chassis.
Only finger-tight torque on the clamp knob is required. The cable
should not move within the clamp under its own weight or when slight
pressure is applied by hand.
for examples.
IMPORTANT
Most all 2090-CP
x
M7DF power/brake cables require the spacers.
Only 10 AWG cables with brake conductors have a diameter
large enough to fit in the clamp without the spacers.
IMPORTANT
If the power/brake cable shield on the dual-axis inverter has a
loose fit inside the shield clamp, use a clamp spacer to reduce
the clamp diameter. When the clamp knob is tightened, the
result must be a high-frequency bond between the cable shield
and the drive chassis.
Make sure the clamp is aligned with the shield braid and not
heat shrink.
