APPENDIX 2
This section makes recommendations for the initial setting of the torque control
potentiometer when installing a cable which has not been installed before, and, whose
characteristics are unknown.
Generally speaking the torque selector switch should be set to low if the cable diameter
is less than 2.5mm or 0.01”. Additionally, softer, black drive wheels are available for
cables with low friction coatings.
The sketch to the left shows the torque and
speed control potentiometers set in the
maximum counter-clockwise position.
In this position both torque and speed will be
minimum. (Zero)
The sketch to the right shows the torque
and speed control potentiometers set in the
maximum clockwise position.
In this position both torque and speed will
be maximum (see specification for details).
The torque control setting will allow the cable to be installed efficiently
and without damage. It is of vital importance that the torque setting is
made with great care, a little time spent understanding the way to arrive at
the optimum settings will save time and frustration during the installation.
There are two stages to arriving at the correct torque setting they are
described below.
Torque control
Speed control
