Section3–13MN1229Electronic Handwheel (Optional)The electronic handwheel (pulse follower) is an optional connection that allowsthe control to follow the pulses from an encoder input. This is a factory installedoption and must be ordered with the control. This wiring must be separatedfrom power wiring. Separate encoder cable by at least 3″ from parallel runs ofpower wires. Cross power wires at right angles only.Cable PreparationEncoder wiring must be shielded twisted pairs, #22 AWG (0.34mm2) minimumsize, 200′ (61m) maximum, with an insulated overall shield.DBSC Control End (See Figure 3-10.)1. Strip the outside jacket approximately 0.375″ (9.5mm) from the end.2. Solder a #22 AWG (0.34mm2) wire to the braided shield. Carol cable hasa clear Mylar sleeve between the braided shield and the wire bundle.Belden cable does not have a Mylar sleeve.3. Connect all shields to X9-13. To do this, solder a “Drain Wire” from eachshield to the wire soldered to the braided shield in step 2.4. Insulate or tape off ungrounded end of shields to prevent contact with otherconductors or ground.Encoder End1. Strip the outside jacket approximately 0.375″ (9.5mm) from the end.2. Identify each of the four twisted pair and label or use the color codesshown in Figure 3-10.3. Insulate or tape off ungrounded end of shields and unused conductors toprevent contact with other conductors or ground.CAUTION: Do not connect any shields to the encoder case or motorframe. Do not connect any shields to ground or anotherpower supply or damage to the control may result.
