Installation
It may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is produced by devices
other than the drive, ground the shield at the drive end. If noise is generated by a
device on the drive, ground the shield at the end away from the drive. Do not ground
both ends of the shield.
Keep logic wires away from the power carrying lines or sources of electrical noise that
can cause erratic operation.
Heat sinking
Model XP10-115AC requires an additional heat sink when the continuous armature cur-
rent is above 5 ADC. Use Minarik
®
part number 223-0159. All other chassis drives have
sufficient heat sinking in their basic configurations. Use a thermally conductive heat sink
compound (such as Dow Corning
®
340 Heat Sink Compound) between the drive chassis
and heat sink surface for optimum heat transfer.
Line fusing
Protect all Minarik drives with AC line fuses. Use fast acting AC line fuses rated for 250
volts, and approximately 150% – 200% of the maximum armature current. Fuse only the
“hot” side of the AC line (L1) if using 115 VAC line voltage. See the chart below for recom-
mended line fuse sizes.
