2.5 Wiring and Mounting
2.5.1 Wiring
Proper wiring, grounding and shielding techniques are important in obtaining good servo
operation and performance. Incorrect wiring, grounding or shielding can cause erratic
servo performance or even complete failure.
1) Keep motor wires as far as possible from the signal level wiring (feedback
signals, control signals, etc.).
2) If additional inductors (chokes) are required, keep the wires between the amplifier
and the chokes as short as possible.
3) Minimize lead lengths as much as it is practical. Although the amplifier is
protected against long (inductive) supply wires, it is recommended to keep the
leads as short as possible. For cable length of over 10m (35 feet) consult factory
for more technical instructions.
4) It is recommended to use twisted and shielded wires whenever it is possible to do
so in the wiring diagrams. Avoid running these leads in close proximity to power
leads or other sources of EMI noise.
5) All grounded components should be tied together at a single point (star
connection). This point should then be tied with a single conductor to an earth
ground point.
6) After wiring is completed, carefully inspect all conditions to ensure tightness,
good solder joints, etc.
2.5.2 Mounting
For optimum heat dissipation the amplifier has to be mounted in vertical position. A
clearance of at least 10cm (4”) should be left at both top and bottom of the unit.
