CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: A 25 ft. (8m) interconnecting cable

with a five-pin Amphenol plug is supplied with this unit

but is not used in this installation. Retain cable for
future use.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch live electrical parts.

Shut down unit, welding powersource, and robot
and disconnect input power employing

“lockout/tagging procedures” before making in-

terconnections.

Lockout/tagging procedures consist of padlocking line

disconnect switch in open position, removing fuses
from fuse box, or shutting off and red-tagging circuit

breaker or other disconnecting device.

There are several terminal strips inside the computer in-
terface for control connections. Remove unit top cover,

loosen screws on strain relief on unit rear panel if
necessary, and locate appropriate terminal strip for con-
nection. Tighten screws on strain relief if necessary,

and reinstall top cover when procedure is finished.

A.

ARC FAILURE Light Connections

The ARC FAILURE light on the computer interface front

panel is turned on and off by a signal from the robot

control unit. The robot control unit must supply 24 volts

dc to the computer interface arc failure circuit when arc

failure occurs. Locate supplied length of 18 gauge/2

conductor cord for this connection, and proceed as

follows:

1. Open robot control unit door, and locate jig ter-

minal strip 2.

2.

Route cord under cross member below door.

3.

Make cord connections to terminal strip com-

mon and the Weld Alarm terminal.

4.

Close robot control unit door, and route cord

through strain relief on rear panel of computer in-
terface.

5.

Connect cord common to 2TL and positive to

2TG.

B.

CV/CC Connections
