Wiring Requirements
This section contains basic wiring information for the Ultra1500. 
ATTENTION
!
Plan the installation of your system so that you can 
perform all cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the 
drive removed from the enclosure. Because the drive is of 
the open type construction, be careful to keep any metal 
debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign 
matter can become lodged in the circuitry, which can result 
in damage to components.
IMPORTANT
This section contains common servo system wiring 
configurations, size, and practices that can be used in a 
majority of applications. National Electrical Code, local 
electrical codes, special operating temperatures, duty cycles, 
or system configurations take precedence over the values 
and methods provided.
