Electrical Installation
Grounding
In order to avoid any problems with electrical noise that could negatively affect
system function, make sure that:
1. The AC power cable coming into the PWR box is always provided with a
Ground and connected to the proper connector (Protective Earth - PE).
2. The structure where the readers, controllers, encoders/tachometers, and
photoelectric sensors are mounted is grounded to the conveyor or to the PE
terminal inside the PWR.
3. The Shield wires from the Encoder/Tachometer and photoelectric sensor
cables are connected to the proper
4. Normally, steps 1 through 3 will guarantee proper function. In case of
problems such as transmission of strange or wrong characters, devices stop
working without any reason, or other unexpected behavior, try connecting
the CBX or Controller Earth terminal to the PE terminal inside the PWR box.
Check Scanner Installation
After completing the installation of your barcode scanner, confirm that the bar-
code scanners, CBX connection box and/or SC5000 Controller have been prop-
erly installed mechanically and electrically. Use the Installation Sequence at the
beginning of this chapter and your application specifications to check your
installation.
