CONFIGURATION
The MAXsa™ 22 & 29 WIRE DRIVES can be recon-
figured to fit in any hard automation application.
As shipped, the MAXsa™ 22 & 29 WIRE DRIVES
Drive Rolls rotate clockwise to feed the wire down.
Reconfiguring the Wire Drive per Figure A.3 may
require reversing the direction of the motor. This is
accomplished by reversing the motor polarity so that
the wire will feed correctly. Follow these instructions to
reverse the motor polarity. See the
Wiring Diagram
