Prepare the Cables
To prepare your existing Bulletin 2090 cables for use with Kinetix 5500 drives, some preparation
is necessary so that the cable shield, conductor lengths, and strip lengths are correct. Make sure
your feedback and power/brake cable preparation follows these guidelines:
•
Trim the shield flush so that no strands can cause a short to adjacent terminals.
•
Measure the conductor lengths so they are long enough to provide a service loop.
•
Remove just enough insulation from each conductor to provide the proper strip length.
The feedback cable attaches to the converter kit and is wired to the 10-pin connector. Remove
lengths of cable jacket and cable shield as shown. Apply the shield clamp to the 12 mm (0.5 in.)
of exposed cable shield to achieve a high-frequency bond between the shield braid and clamp. If
necessary, turn the shield clamp over to achieve a good bond with smaller cables. Attach tie wrap.
Feedback Cable
Power cable preparation on existing 16 and 14 AWG cables is sufficient to reuse on Kinetix 5500
frame 1 and 2 drives, except for the brake conductors. Cut the brake conductors back to 163 mm
(6.4 in.) and trim the shield braid at the base of the jacket. However, for frame 3 drives with 14 or
10 AWG cables, the overall length of the cable preparation area needs to be increased.
Power/brake Cable (14 and 10 AWG)
(1) The overall shield braid covering the brake conductors can be removed.
TIP For example, you can remove an additional length of cable jacket, exposing more cable shield.
After doing so, remove all but 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) of the shield and cover the shield ends with
25.0 mm (1.0 in.) of electrical tape or heat shrink to prevent the cable ends from fraying.
