Fitting

Caution!
Only ever connect or disconnect electrical components when they are voltage- free.
Included in the supply package is the drive control unit and depending on the order a DC power supply, a handset, and up to one to five slave drives. The components are prewired and ready to plug in.

a) Installation
The CU155 drive control unit can be screwed to the application at the 4 fixing points using suitable screws (e.g. M4x50 screws). The surface onto which the controls are mounted must be level and flat. It is important in the application that no mechanical forces (e.g. torsional forces etc.) are brought to bear on the drive controls or casing parts. Such forces can bring about damage (e.g. cracks) to the casing parts.

b) Electrical connection
In the Operating Instructions to be issued by you, point out to the operator that if leads, in particular the mains connection lead, are driven over they could sustain damage. Mechanical loads should also be avoided.

When routing the cables make sure that they

  • cannot get entangled or trapped,
  • are not subjected to mechanical loads (i.e. do not pull, apply pressure, or bend),
  • cannot get damaged in any other way.

Make sure that the cables, in particular the connection lead of the voltage supply, are fastened to the application with adequate strain relief and kink protection and that suitable constructional measures prevent the connection lead from trailing on the floor when the application is being moved.

First connect the slave drives and controls, as shown (see page 11). Make sure that any sockets not being used are sealed off with blind plugs, – otherwise the protection category is not guaranteed. Do not insert the mains plug of the DewertOkin DC power supply until all the components have been connected to the CU155 control unit. Afterward, fit the plug pull-out safeguard (see page 7).

c) Fitting the reverter-plug
To fit the reverter plug (5), a fin (6) must be broken off the plug pull-out safeguard (1) at the relevant socket. This is easy to do by hand. The motor cable plug (7) is then inserted into the reverter plug (5) which in turn is inserted into the corresponding socket of the control system. The plug then sits at the front of the plug pull-out protection (1).

d) Fitting the plug pull-out protection
Fit the plug pull-out protection (1) to the drive control unit (2) by allowing it to engage into the guides (3). Additionally, it can be firmly connected to the drive control system using suitable screws (4) (ST 2.9 x 6.5; ISO7049).

Caution! For your safety!
There is a risk of sustaining injury by getting trapped if the mechanical connections between the fitting and the drive system are loosened.

e) Dismantling
Operate the application to travel to the starting position and disconnect the drive system from the mains voltage, and then the drive control unit from the DewertOkin DC power supply. Pull off the plug pull-out protection (1), take this off first, and then the cables from the respective sockets. Loosen the retaining screws – the drive control system can now be removed from the application.
