CHANGING WIRE DRIVE CONFIGURATION

The POWER FEED-10S Wire Drives can be reconfig- ured to fit in any hard automation application.

The POWER FEED-10S Wire Drives can be reconfig- ured in such a way that the wire feed direction is reversed. If this is the case, the motor leads must be reversed so the wire will feed correctly. Follow these instructions to reverse the motor polarity. (See Figure A.3)

1.Remove all power from the POWER FEED-10S Wire Drive.

2.Disconnect the Control Cable from the POWER FEED-10S Wire Drive Connection Box.

3.Loosen the fastener from the Band Strap to the Connection Box, which secures the assembly to the Motor housing, and expose the leads inside of the Connection Box.

4.Locate the Motor leads. These leads will go from the Motor to the Control Cable connector on the inside of the Connection Box.

5.Carefully disconnect the Motor leads from the har- ness by pulling the quick-connect terminals apart.

6.Reverse the motor leads and reconnect the quick- connect terminals (see Wiring Diagram).

7.Carefully replace the wire harness back into the Connection Box and place back onto the Motor housing locating over the Motor lead grommet. Ensure that the tachometer leads are completely covered by the Channel that snaps into the Connection Box. The Connection Box assembly should be pushed all the way up to the Motor-to- Gearbox Adapter Plate.

8.Before securing the Connection Box to the Motor housing with the Band Strap, ensure that none of the harness leads are being pinched underneath the edges of the Connection Box and Channel.

9.Place the Band Strap into the "T" slot on the side of the Connection Box and wrap it around the Motor housing.

10.Replace the fastener between the Band Strap and the Connection Box. Tighten so that the Connection Box cannot move on the Motor housing.
