Before You Begin
Remove all packing material from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the catalog number against the purchase order, and visually inspect each connector
for damage. If necessary, notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately.

ATTENTION: Arcing or unexpected motion can occur if the power, brake, or feedback cables are connected or disconnected while power is applied.
Always remove power to the servo drive before connecting or disconnecting cables at the drive or at the motor.
ATTENTION: To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, make sure that shielded power cables are grounded at a minimum of one point. To help prevent
the build-up of electrical energy, factory-supplied power cables use one of these grounding techniques:
• The overall shield is bonded to the connector housing.
• A section of the overall shield is exposed for connection to ground.
• The overall shield is connected to a ground wire.
If the exposed cable braid or a ground wire is present, connect it to the power cable clamp, housing, or another suitable chassis ground on the drive.
ATTENTION: Do not tightly gather or coil the excess length of a power cable. Heat is generated within a cable whenever power is applied. Always
position a power cable so it can freely dissipate any heat. A power cable must not be coiled, except for temporary use when building or testing a
machine. If you temporarily coil a power cable, you must also derate the cable to meet local code or follow an authoritative directive, such as
Engineering Section 310.15(C) of the NEC Handbook.
IMPORTANT The following factors must be considered when selecting bulk cable.
• Power cables must be rated to voltage higher than the system voltages at all operating conditions.
• Cable conductor current carrying capacity (after all applicable deratings) must be ≥ the connected motor continuous rated current.
• Cables must meet all local and global regulatory requirements.
• Cable must have overall shield to meet the applicable electromagnetic radiation/emission requirements.
