INSTALLATION
Page 19
This Harness will be plugged on the Processor end of the cable only.
The Harness is supplied with two or three cables extending from the
plug:
• Power (refer to Section 5.2.1)
• Start Interlock (refer to Section 5.2.2)
• (optional) Clutch Pressure only or Clutch Pressure and Alarm
Circuit (Alarm Circuit refer to Section 9.1 and Clutch Pres-
sure refer to Section 9.2)
A)Insert the Wire Harness plug into the POWER connector on the
Processor.
B)Continue with the following Sections that apply to this applica-
tion.
5.2.1 Power Cable
It is critical to design and wire the Control System in a manner where the
chance of losing power to the Control System is kept to a minimum.
ZF Mathers recommends that two power sources are utilized along with
the APS (Automatic Power Selector refer to Appendix A.1 S-214) as
shown in Figure 17:
The following wire sizes must be used for the cable labeled with flag note
1 in Figure 17:
• 0- 15 feet 12 AWG
(#3 Metric Equivalent)
• 15- 30 feet 10 AWG
(#5 Metric Equivalent)
• 30- 60 feet 8 AWG
(#8 Metric Equivalent)
WARNING: When connecting the Power Harness to the Processor be sure the power is OFF.
Flag 1:
Wire Size (Ref ABYC E9.15.9 10%)
0-15’ 12 AWG (#3 Metric Equivalent)
15’-30’ 10 AWG (#5 Metric Equivalent)
30’-60’ 8 AWG (#8 Metric Equivalent)
Flag 2:
Wire Size (Recommended Twisted Pair)
0-20’ 14 AWG (#2 Metric Equivalent)
20’-40’ 12 AWG (#3 Metric Equivalent)
Note:
1. APS output is strictly for ZF Mathers Controls
2. Power Sources may be 12 or 24 volts DC
