Installation and Wiring
Installation Precautions
x
Do not expose the unit to cold blasts of air that might cause condensation (e.g., from an air
conditioner).
x
Do not expose the unit to cleaning solvents that will penetrate and damage the unit's enclosure.
x
Do not use cable that is split or cracked.
Hang the pushbutton station when installing it. Do not place it on a horizontal surface (for example, on a
stand or on the floor).
Attach the pushbutton station to the strain relief cable so that no tension is exerted on the pushbutton
conductors directly.
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE CONTROL PANEL, JUNCTION BOXES, PENDANT’S
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE COMPONENTS.
Before installing, servicing, or inspecting any electrical or mechanical components of this power
equipment, power must be disconnected at the source and proper lockout/tagout procedures followed.
DO NOT make or break electrical connections (for example, plugs and receptacles) without first
disconnecting power at the source and following proper lockout/tagout procedures.
REFER TO ANSI Z244.1 PERSONNEL PROTECTION – LOCKOUT/TAGOUT OF ENERGY SOURCES.
Only qualified personnel should install components, inspect, and/or service this equipment.
Precautions for Wiring
x
If the pendant top cable gland does not fit the connecting cable properly, water or dust may enter
the pendant case, get into the switches and cause damage to the switches. Damaged switches
may malfunction. Water inside the pendant can conduct electricity and close the switch contacts,
causing unintended run commands.
x
When cutting or stripping wires, ensure that particles do not fall into that enclosure, as they can
jam switch mechanisms or close contacts by conducting across switch gaps.
x
Use a UL-listed or CSA-certified, round, crimped-on terminal when connecting to terminals. Do
not solder the terminal onto the wire or connect the bare wires directly to the switch terminal
screws.
