and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
Maximum cable length between between the SubDrive 4 and the ArcSource
Submersible II depends on the operating mode:
Minimum mode: 100 m
Medium mode: 50 m
Maximum mode: 25 m
1. Unscrew four fastening screws (2) on the top cover (1) of the SubDrive 4 to get access to the PCB RB 3091
(14) with a display and connection blocks.
2. Fasten the SubDrive 4 on a non-ammable at surface via four mounting holes (12) of a diameter of 6 mm
in the housing.
3. Remove end caps (2) from cable glands before passing cables into the SubDrive 4.
Five cable glands M20x1.5 serve for cables of diameter of 7-13mm and two cable glands M12x1.5 serve for
cables of diameter of 3-7mm.
We recommend to apply an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 5331 on the plastic holder of each cable
gland before inserting it into the body of the gland.
Note: enclosed reducing seal (P/N 13051388) serves for cable of diameter of 4-8mm. Original seal has to be
removed from the cable gland before installing the reducing seal.
This device falls under protection class I. Therefore the SubDrive 4
has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
4. Connect the power cable to the terminal block (13) and rest of cables to the terminal blocks on the PCB
(14) according to the tables below, check their connection.
5. Fully tighten cable gland nuts and check that cables are properly fastened in the cable glands.
Note: To keep declared IP rating, every cable gland has to be covered with the end cap if this cable gland is
not used for cable passing.
