ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
-
RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE
The RIFT® 200 has 2 power sources, external power connected via the 10 position terminal strip, and
internal power provided by the 4 cell lithium ion battery pack. We recommend that the external
connection be made first, ensuring compliance with local electrical codes and correct tightness of the
cable gland around the cable to prevent ingress of water or moisture via the cable gland, followed by
plugging in the internal battery.
The RIFT® 200 has 2 states: sleep, or awake. When shipped from the UK factory, the internal battery
is fully charged and may not be connected. The actuator does not function if the battery is not
connected, and plugging in the battery
‘
wakes
’
the actuator from its
‘
sleep
’
(or storage) mode. It is
easier therefore to make the external connection first.
•
Fit the correct cable glands/ conduit to the threaded cable glands (see later section on
recommended connectors). Note that either M20 or
1/2”
NPT are available; ensure you specify
the correct threads for your requirement at order stage.
•
20mm SWA
-
BS 4567 Cable glands for appropriate SWA Cable size may be directly connected to
the M20 connectors inlets.
•
For on
-
off or failsafe, we recommend either a single multicore cable (on 10 pin connector
supplied) is used via the left entry and the right entry connected with 5 core cable (onto the 5 pin
connection block) fitted for the command signals.
•
If the end of travel confirmation relays are not being used, then a single 5 core cable (on 10 pin
connector supplied) on the left entry and a plugged right entry is the preferred method.
Note that there are no cable grips, so ensure that the cable glands or connectors are tight around the
cable to not only ensure water tightness, but to prevent the cables being pulled out of the terminal
strip.
Make the external electrical connections in accordance with the wiring diagram on the following page,
paying attention to the warnings at the top of this page.
