Power Input Wiring
All power wires must be brought into the box through the .860"
(21.8mm) hole on the left side, using a suitable ½" (13mm)
electrical fitting. Wire size must conform to local electrical
code requirements for 1 ampere (normally #14 AWG will meet
these requirements).
Set the 115/230 volt selector switch to the proper position.
Connect three-wire 115 or 230 VAC, single phase power to
terminals 1, 2 and 3. Terminal 1 must be well grounded to a
common electrical ground. The AC line power must be sup-
plied from a disconnect box that is either fused or equipped
with circuit breakers.
Output Wiring
The RC4000 requires a separate external motor control to drive
the reel motor. The control voltage is taken from the Isolated
DC Output Terminals. Select the +5 or +10 volt range, as
required by your controller.
In general, all wire should be heavy enough to accept crimped,
push-on style terminals and to withstand the rigors of your
production environment. We recommend shielded twisted pair,
with the shield grounded at the control unit end only. These
wires should not be run through conduit with high voltage
lines.
Auto Interlock
This feature allows external on-off control of the reel motor in
AUTO mode only. To use this function, connect the AUTO and
COM terminals to a relay contact that closes when reel motor
stop is required. The Auto LED blinks to indicate the interlock
is asserted, and since the unit is temporarily in SETUP mode,
the JOG feature can be used. When the AUTO interlock is
released, the control returns to AUTO mode without
operator intervention.
Shut-off Interlock
This feature allows external shut-off control of the reel motor
in both Auto and Manual modes. To use this feature, connect
the SHUT OFF and COM terminals to a relay contact that
closes when reel motor stop is required. The AUTO and
SETUP LEDs both blink as long as the contacts are closed.
When the contacts open, the unit stays in SETUP mode until
the AUTO key is pushed by the operator.
Relay Outputs
The Operation section describes the procedure for enabling
the High and Low Limit Relays. Connections must be made to
output terminals 8, 9, and 10, to utilize this feature. Connect to
the COM and either the NO or the NC terminal, depending on
the control function to be performed.
