Lay the YZ car cables into the chain, keeping them as flat and organized as you can.
IMPORTANT: The spindle/router power cord should remain separate from the other cables without
crossing over them. This will help prevent electrical interference issues.
Check that all necessary cables are inside the chain before closing the bars:
□
Spindle/router power cord
□
Spindle fan power cord (if applicable)
□
Y axis motor cable
□
Z axis motor cable
□
Y axis proximity switch cable
□
Z-zero plate assembly cable
When all cables are inside the chain, close the bars by pressing them down until you hear a “click.” Create a small
amount of slack in the cables by pulling them tight against the inside of the chain, then pushing them back 1/2” –
1”. Use a few of the included wire ties to secure the cables to the strain relief tabs at either end of the chain.
Once the bars are closed, you will need to secure the
cables using wire ties and the strain relief tabs on the
top side of the chain.
Start with the spindle/router power cord.
Leave enough
slack for the Z axis to move through its entire length of
travel without the cord pulling tight.
DO NOT overtighten the wire ties.
DO NOT use wire ties inside the E-chain.
After the cables are secured inside the chain, locate the cable carriers included with the E-chain kit. These are
installed by pressing them into the extrusion groove and twisting them one quarter-turn clockwise. Place two
carriers in each groove, evenly spaced between the lower E-chain bracket and the end plate.
