Connecting the Head Cables to the Control
NOTICE
Terminate the shields of the head cables as instructed in the previous section.
1. Find the two interchangeable quick connect cables, and plug them into the bottom of the
transmitter and receiver. The connection is keyed. Twist the locknut so the connection is
tight.
2. Run the cables through separate
1/2
" flexible, liquid-tight conduits from the Shadow VI
transmitter and receiver to the knockouts at the bottom of the control (receiver should go
into right front knockout and transmitter into the center). Because the control enclosure
is rated NEMA 2/IP52, you must use conduit of the same rating and make proper
connections to ensure suitable protection with the enclosure.
NOTICE
If you have a second set of Shadow heads, wire them through the remaining knockouts.
3. Next you need to properly terminate the conduits at the transmitter and receiver. You can
use either of these approaches or one of your own. In either case, you must supply your
own parts.
a. Use cord grips to secure the cables in the liquid-tight conduits and
1/2
" hose clamps
to support the conduits in place close to the transmitter and receiver.
b. Use 2 junction boxes located near the transmitter and receiver to secure the cables
and the liquid-tight conduits.
4. Open the control by loosening the locking screw. Terminate the cable shield for each
cable as described in the next section.
5. Locate terminal blocks TB2 and TB3. Refer to the location of components pictured in
Figure 2-14 earlier in this chapter. Notice that there are actually two connectors at TB2
and two at TB3. If you have only one set of Shadow heads, the receiver will be wired
into the upper level TB2 connector, and the transmitter into the upper level TB3
connector. If you have a second set, they are wired into the lower levels of TB2 (receiver
2) and TB3 (transmitter 2).
NOTICE
LABEL CABLES CAREFULLY
Carefully label the transmitter and receiver cables inside the control. This will help
troubleshoot the light curtains after installation, if necessary.
If you connect two sets of heads, be sure to separately label the cables for set #1 and set
#2.
5. Measure the wires to fit and cut the wires as necessary.
6. Start by wiring the receiver. Remove the L-shaped connector from TB2 (upper level).
Attach the wires to this connector as shown in Table 2-3 at the end of this section. You
can also refer to Figure 1 at the end of this manual.
