MOUNTING THE CONTROL BOX (BOOM OR SEPARATED BENCH MODELS)

The back plate of the Control Box has four keyhole slots for mounting. See Figure A.2 for the size and location of these slots. #10 screws are recommended for mounting.

installed in the Control Box. An Input/Output Receptacle Kit, K1548-1, is available for this purpose. Instructions for installing the receptacles in a Control Box are included with the kit.

Alternately, a bench feeder can be converted to a non-typical boom system by installing an output receptacle in a Wire Drive (use K1549-1) and an input receptacle in a Control Box (use K1550-1). This sys- tem would meet the rule stated above: This means that the first component in the system (the Power Wave 455) has an output receptacle. The last compo- nent in the system (the Control Box) has an input receptacle. The component in between (the Wire Drive) has both an input and output receptacle.

A Control Box can be mounted to the front of a Power Wave 455. When mounting a Control Box removed from a bench feeder, no receptacles are required; all connections are internal. When mounting a Control Box configured as part of a boom system (both input and output receptacles are already installed in the Control Box) the receptacles do not get used. The wiring harness from either J1 or J2 (the signals are identical) must be disconnected from the harness on the back of one of the receptacles (internally). This open connector is then used during mounting to the Power Wave 455.

FIGURE A.2

DETERMINING RECEPTACLE CONFIGURATION

The components in a Power Wave / Power Feed sys- tem are connected in a ʻdaisy chainedʼ fashion. This means that the first component in the system (always the Power Wave 455) must have an output recepta- cle. The last component in the system (typically the Wire Drive) must have an input receptacle. Every component in between must have both an input and output receptacle. (Output receptacles are character- ized by having insulated ʻsocketʼ connections, while input receptacles have uninsulated ʻpinʼ connections.)

In a factory supplied bench system, the Power Wave 455 has an output receptacle, and the Wire Drive has an input receptacle. The connection between the Control Box and the Wire Drive is internal; no external cables or receptacles are required.

In a factory supplied boom system, the Power Wave 455 has an output receptacle, the Control Box has both input and output receptacles, and the Wire Drive has an input receptacle.

If a bench feeder is to be converted to a typical boom feeder, both input and output receptacles must be

CONTROL CABLE

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS

•All system control cables are the same.

•All control cables can be connected end to end to extend their length.

•All system equipment must be connected to a con- trol cable.

The Power Wave / Power Feed Wire Feeders offer flexibility in the connection of system components. This system uses the same type of control cable between all of the system components. Connections can be “daisy chained” from one system component to another. Components can be connected in any order, as long as the proper input and output receptacles are present. See MOUNTING CONTROL BOX AND RECEPTACLE CONFIGURATION for details.

NOTE: The maximum cable length between any two pieces of equipment is 250 Ft.(76.2m).
