Page 9: General Description
3.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CBS Breeze machine is designed to install small diameter cable into underground tubes. The machine uses a DC motor and reduction gearing to drive a pair of compliant rollers (both rollers are driven). The rollers are covered with a compliant coating to prevent damage to the cable. A range of different coatings is available depending on the surface texture of the cable being installed. -

16.0 Tube integrity and Lubrication This is entirely the responsibility of the operator. To be sure that the tube into which the cable is to be inserted is installed appropriately, it is recommended that its integrity and lubrication be checked. i.e. - Page 30 However, as a starting point the air leaving the far end of the tube should be (at least) similar to a light breeze. Bear in mind that if the tube run is of considerable distance, it may take a few minutes for the air to reach the far end of the tube.

- Page 33 APPENDIX 2 This section makes recommendations for the initial setting of the torque control potentiometer when installing a cable which has not been installed before, and, whose characteristics are unknown. Generally speaking the torque selector switch should be set to low if the cable diameter is less than 2.5mm or 0.01”.
- Page 34 Establish the stiffness coefficient from the table below: the stiffness coefficient is a figure used to represent the diameter and the stiffness of a cable. This figure is only relevant in the context of setting the torque, it has no other relevance.
- Page 35 Referring to the chart below. The “x” axis (the bottom line) represents the coefficient of friction; 1 is very low: 10 is very high. Look along this line from left to right. Pick a vertical line that is approximately the value of the coefficient of friction.
- Page 36 Note: This method may also be used to set the clamping force of the rollers on the cable. Initially, the clamp arm lever should be set so that the rollers press very lightly onto the cable. Carry out the test outlined above (drive the cable into the closed end of a sample tube). The rollers will slip.
