Sterling 882.00255.00 CV3-655 specifications Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates

To install KwikLink cables:

1.Cut both black and grey cables to the proper length.

2.Use cable ties to attach KwikLink cables, black cable above grey cable, on the vacuum tubing. Attach cable to the tubing with cable ties at about three-foot (3 ft./

1 m) intervals. Make sure that cable ties are snug, but not tightened enough to bend the flat cable.

Caution! Install KwikLink cable on vacuum tubing only. DO NOT install KwikLink cable on material conveying tubing, as static electricity formed at material lines could disrupt system operation.

Note: When approaching a node location, stop the attachment process. Run the cables over the node area (such as a T-valve) and make sure you create a slight amount of slack when continuing the attachment with cable ties. Doing so lets you install KwikLink connectors or ArmorBlocks with greater ease, with less stress on the cable.

Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates

Setting Up Mounting Plates

It’s a good idea to get all your mounting plates set up with KwikLink connector bases or ArmorBlock cable bases before installation, as your system layout determines.

Note: ArmorBlock cable bases are installed on mounting plates perpendicular in orientation to the flat cable runs.

Vacuum hoppers/receiver stations and vacuum pumps require 8-connector ArmorBlocks; central alarm stations require 4-connector ArmorBlocks.

Make sure that each mounting plate has properly attached tube clamps as required. Each mounting plate requires two (2) tube clamps. Always use locking washers, especially in high-vibration environments.
