Before You Begin
Remove all packing material from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the
catalog number against the purchase order, and visually inspect the cable and each connector for
damage. If necessary, immediately notify the carrier of any shipping damage.
Cables are stored and shipped in a coil, and will retain this shape unless you straighten the cable.
To straighten a cable, hang a short cable from its mid-point or lay a long cable on the floor in a
straight line. Any coiling that persists should relax within 24 hours. Doing this results in a cable
that is easier to install.
Observe the following precautions when installing the cables in a servo system. Failure to observe
these safety notices could result in personal injury or damage to the motor and equipment.
SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, be sure to ground any cable providing
power at a minimum of one point. To prevent the build-up of electrical energy, factory-supplied
cables use one of these grounding techniques:
•
Bond the overall shield to the connector housing.
•
Make sure there is a direct connection-to-ground for each cable shield.
•
Connect an exposed cable braid or a ground wire, if present, to the power cable clamp,
housing, or another suitable chassis ground.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Arcing or unexpected motion can occur if cables are connected or disconnected while
power is applied to the IDM system. Before working on an IDM system, disconnect power and wait
the full time interval as indicated in the warning on the IPIM module or verify the DC bus voltage at
the IPIM module measures less than 50V DC.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life, and damage to
the product will occur.
ATTENTION: The hybrid connectors on the IDM unit are designed to be rotated into a fixed position
during motor installation, and remain in that position without further adjustment. Strictly limit
the applied forces and the number of times the hybrid connectors are rotated to make sure the
connectors meet the specified IP ratings.
Apply force only to the connector and cable plug. Do not apply force to the cable extending from
the cable plug. No tools, for example pliers or vise-grips, should be used to assist with the rotation
of the connector.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the IDM unit and its components.
ATTENTION: The maximum length of cabling between the IPIM and the last IDM unit in the
system must not exceed 100 m (328 ft). Also, a maximum of two extension cables may be
connected between an IDM unit and the preceding IPIM module or IDM unit.
