Some older versions of the drop box do not have the “SHLD” terminal. In this case, tie the shields of all
the cables together with a wire nut.
Whenever possible, the drop boxes should be mounted on the press in easy reach for troubleshooting
purposes. In addition, the length of the line from the drop box to the Link equipment should be kept as
short as reasonably possible. The drop boxes have knockouts sized for ½” conduit or cord grips.
