4. Position the IDM unit on the machine in any position.
5. Mount and align the IDM unit by using stainless steel bolts.
list the mounting hole diameters.
6. Form a drip loop in the cables directly before each cable connects to the IDM unit.
A drip loop is a low spot in the cable that lets liquids gather and drip off the cable rather
than flow along the cable to an electrical connection or the IDM unit.
The hybrid cables and network cables are UL Listed with insulation ratings of 1000V
and 105° C (221° F) and can be routed in a common wireway.
Refer to the Kinetix 6000M Integrated Drive-Motor System Cable Diagram diagram on
for a visual reference of cable positioning.
7. Connect the network and hybrid cables after the IDM unit is mounted.
•
Torque a network M12 cable connector plug to 0.8…1.2 N•m (7…12 lb•in) to fully
seat the contacts and secure the connection.
•
Hand-tighten the knurled collar on the M23 hybrid cable approximately 45° to fully
seat and lock the connector.
IMPORTANT
IDM units with a brake (MDF-SBxxxxP-QJ84B-S) can require the use of a manual
brake-release cable to release the brake prior to rotating the shaft so the IDM unit aligns
with the machine mounts. Refer to the Manual Brake Release Cable Installation
Instructions, publ
, for more information.
ATTENTION: To avoid arcing or unexpected motion, always remove power to the IDM unit
before connecting or disconnecting the hybrid or network cables.
ATTENTION: Make sure that installed cables are restrained to prevent uneven tension or
flexing at the cable connectors. Provide support at 3 m (10 ft) intervals throughout the cable
run. Excessive and uneven lateral force at the cable connectors can result in the connector’s
environmental seal opening and closing or wires separating at the cable gland as the cable
flexes.
ATTENTION: Cable connectors must be properly aligned before the connection is secured
with the recommended number of turns or torque value. Improper connector alignment is
indicated by the need for excessive force, such as the use of tools, to fully seat connectors.
IMPORTANT
The internal O-ring is self-conforming and requires a short period between each
connect/disconnect cycle to expand to full size. Allow at least one minute for the
O-ring expansion to occur before reconnecting a hybrid cable.
TIP
The colored rings on the hybrid cable connector and the mating cable must match:
red-to-red or green-to-green.
