1.2 Taking Precautions During Wiring
•
If the cord grip on the top of the pendant does not fit the cable properly,
water or dust may penetrate through the cable grip and cause damage to
the buttons or cause the cranes and hoists to function improperly.
•
When cutting or stripping wires, ensure that particles do not fall into the
pendant enclosure.
•
Use a UL-listed round crimp-style terminal when connecting the wiring
terminal. Do no solder the terminal or connect the bare wires directly.
1.3 Disassembling Enclosure
1.
Unscrew pendant cable grip nut.
2.
Remove the top cover by loosening its two screws.
3.
Remove the back cover by loosening the enclosure screws.
1.4 Installing Pendant Control Cable
NOTE: Magnetek recommends the use of a suitable outdoor-rated,
oil-resistant pendant cable that is both UL listed and CSA recognized.
When cutting or stripping wires, ensure that particles do not fall into
the enclosure.
1.
Feed the cable through the cable grip nut, compression washer, cable
gland grommet, pendant top gasket, pendant top and enclosure until the
cable extends along the entire enclosure length. Then hand-tighten the
pendant top unit.
2.
To ease cable installation, attach the pendant top to the pendant
enclosure front half, leaving the back off and exposing the switches.
3.
Strip back the cable outer jacket to within one inch of the top of the
enclosure.
4.
Cut, strip and terminate each cable conductor.
NOTE: Use a provided or UL-listed closed-loop or forked-type
terminal lug.
5.
Fasten each cable conductor to its respective terminal screw. (
See
Wiring and Marking Information on page 10.
)
6.
Code the opposite ends of the cable conductors to ensure proper wiring.
