Terminal Box for Remote Sensor

RPK-A098-03

Users guide

Read this guide before installation and operation.
Handle the Terminal Box properly.

■ Dimension

Attentionfor Safty[ Planning the system ]The Terminal Box for the Remote Sensor is an
enclosure which connects the Detectors with theTransmitter of the Remote Sensor and transmits thedetected signals. The Terminal Box should only be
used for this purpose.
Plan the system to work safely if the Terminal Box
should be damaged.

[ Handling the Terminal Box ]Make the correct wiring and connect as referred to thewiring diagram of this manual.
Wiring errors may cause system failure.
Make sure that the power is turned oﬀ, when start theinstallation process.
Never take the device apart or modify.
Dispose of the device as an industrial waste.

[ Installation for Terminal Box ]① Attach the Terminal Box fasten with 2 Allen screws.
Size ; M5 Length ; longer than 20mm
② It is recommended to apply adhesive for tightening screws to avoid
loosening of screws.
[ Connection of the Transmitter and the Detector ]● Measure of Stripping Insulations/ Fastening Position of Cable <Fig. 1-a / 1-b>
① Strip outer sheathes of cables and insulations of cores.
② Make sure that outer sheath of cable is positioned inside of the TerminalBox properly in tightening cable.
● Mounting of Cable <ﬁg. 2>
Put a cap and sealing ring on cable, then insert the cable to the body.
● Tightening of the Cable Gland <ﬁg. 3,4>
Put a cap on the Cable Gland and tighten it with a spanner.
Spanner caliber
Transmitter : 17mm <Fig. 3>
Detectors : 11mm <Fig. 4><Caution>
When the cable clamp is not ﬁt into slot on the Cable Gland,or tightening of the Cable Gland is done improperly, it may haveinﬂuence on its water tight quality.
● Measure of unused Cable Gland <Fig. 5>
Insert the blank plugs (φ5mm) supplied with the Terminal Box into any
unused cable entrances of the Cable Gland and stop it.
① Insert the blank plug.
② Tighten the Cable Gland.
(Refer to Tightening of the Cable Gland for Detectors . Fig. 4)● Connecting to terminal block
In accordance with the wiring diagram on page 4 , connect cores to eachappropriate terminal.
<Caution>
Insert the cores to reach the terminals suﬃciently.
In the case of a core was inserted insuﬃciently, the following
problems are may caused ;[A core is not reach to a terminal] The core come out or cause
short circuit with adjoining cables.
[A core is inserted exceedingly] The core cannot be connected
suﬃciently because of terminal catching insulations.
Coolant or cutting chips should not be splashed on inside of theTerminal Box in wiring operation.
[ Tightening of the lid on the Terminal Box ] <Fig. 6>① Make sure that the O-ring is equipped with the lid properly.
( Check the O-ring whether it has any ﬂaw )② Check the wiring condition to avoid the lid catching of the lead wire, and clean
the Terminal Box with air blow and dry it with heat gun in tightening of the lid.
③ Fit the lid on the Terminal Box to wrench close the lid smoothly or not todamaged thread of the lid, and insert it properly.
④ Tighten the lid reach the Terminal Box with your hand, then insert appropriate
tools into holes ( φ 5.2) on the side of the lid and fasten it tightly.

● Measure of Unused Cable GlandFig. 5● Fastening Lid on the Terminal Box[ Bending cables ] <Fig. 7>
Using sensors with its cable bending, bend cables at a point that apart morethan 10mm from the cable entries of the Cable Glands.
Refer to speciﬁcation of each sensors regarding bending radius for cables.
[ Attention for watertight quality ]The value that indicated in this guide is the recommended value to fulﬁll
the protection class IP 67.
Protection with a cover is required if the Terminal Box will be exposed tocoolant since elasticity of cables vary with the material.
