Danfoss Cables and Followers Installation guide

Cables and Followers

BLN-95-8975-4 Issued: May 1996

DESCRIPTION

The Cables and Followers described in this instruction
literature are designed for use with Danfoss controllers
and sensors such as the R7232A Proportional Indicating
Controller, SB104A Microsyn Rotary Position Sensor
W895A Proportional Grade/Steering Controller,
MCW100A,B Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller,
MCW100C,E Time Proportional Rotary Position Controller
and MCW102B Proportional Rotary Position Controller.
Followers are used to run along a stringline for grade or
steering applications or along a hard reference surface to
match the existing grade. Cables are provided to make
electrical connections between components of the control
system and come in a variety of lengths and connector types.

ORDERING INFORMATION

SPECIFY

1. KG07002 16" Steering Follower with nylon grid adapter

FEATURES

• Number of followers meets almost any grade application

• Right-angle followers give way when they strike a fixed
object, preventing follower damage. See Figure 3.

• Environmentally sealed cables and connectors resist
moisture.

• No tools required to fasten—only turning one thumb­screw is necessary

• Cables simplify installation of control components, mak­ing wiring easy

INSTALLATION

STEERING FOLLOWERS

The Steering Wand is pictured in the Ordering Information
KG07002 photograph. The device attaches to either the left
or right hub of a steering controller, such as the SB104A or
W895A. When the system is steering on course, the shaft of
the Wand will be vertical.

RIGHT ANGLE GRADE FOLLOWERS

The grade followers shown in the Ordering Information
KG04003 and KG04004 photographs are used to follow a
grade stringline. The two followers are identical, except that
one has a longer contact tube. They may be used on either
side of the controller in any of four orientations: 45 degrees
downtrailing, 45 degrees down preceding, level trailing or
level preceding.

SKATE AND SKI ASSEMBLIES

The Skate assembly, shown in Ordering Information
KG06001 photograph, attaches to the Grid Arm by slipping
the Skate’s pin through the retaining hole in the Grid Arm (in
place of the tube) and fastening it with the retaining pin.

The Skate assembly always trails the controller at 45
degrees, following over a hard, pre-formed surface.

The Ski runner, shown in Ordering Information KG02001
photograph, snaps into the Skate assembly to follow a rigid
surface. As with the Ski assembly alone, it always trails the
controller at 45 degrees down.

CABLES

Cables and connectors are sealed against moisture when
mated with Danfoss devices: the connector insert
faces are rubber, so that a face-to-face moisture seal is
made. The cable termination into the connector is likewise
moisture sealed.

INSTALLATION - CABLES

(continued)

Many different cables are available, depending on the spe­cific application. Leads are wired to terminals in sequence
starting with A. Those most frequently used are:

1. KW01007, KW01009 and KW01011 Sensor Cables
(One-foot, two-foot and four-foot cables that extend to
five, ten and twenty feet, respectively. Mate with a Bendix­type six-pin MS3102A-14S-6P (K04183) connector on
both ends.)

2. KW01013, KW01014 Power Valve Cables (Two-foot
coiled cables that extend to ten feet. Have ten-pin straight
connector on one end and straight connector (KW01014)
or right-angle connectors (KW01013) on the other. Mate
with a Bendix Part Number MS3102A-18-1P (K03989)
connector.

3. KW01001 Cable (Two-foot coiled cable that extends to
five feet. Has five-pin straight connector on one end and
spade lugs on the other marked A, B, C, and D. Mates with
an MS3102A-16S-8P (K03992) connector on one end
and a terminal strip.)

4. KW01018, KW01019 Extension Cables (Eight-foot and
twenty-foot straight cables, respectively. Have six-pin
connectors on either end. Mate with Bendix Part Number
MS3102A-14S-6P (K04183) connectors at the two ends.)

Cables with screw-type connectors are keyed so that the
connectors join in only one way.

When installing panel-mounted amplifiers such as the
R7232A, allow room for cable connectors within the panel.
Four inches is the minimum space needed, as shown in
Figure 1. If cables must be removed or connected after the
amplifier is installed, allow a minimum of five inches.

INSTALLATION - LOCATION

Attach the appropriate follower to the hub. Note the guide
hole location and direction of travel. Guide holes in the
mounting bracket for the steering follower, Part number
KG07002, are located as shown (see Figure 2). The follower
may be attached to either hub. The right angle follower, Part
number KG04003, is used for grade applications.

INSTALLATION - LOCATION

(continued)

The right angle follower KG04003 is shown attached to the
MCW100C,E hub horizontally (See Figure 4.) The flat on the
hub should be parallel to the grade reference.

The follower may be attached at a 45° angle downward.

(See Figure 5.)

The follower may be attached at a 45° angle upward. (See

Figure 6.) and the follower should be positioned toward the
operator panel.

A skate assembly (Part number KG06001) and ski assembly
(Part number KG02001) may be used with the right angle
follower (Part number KG04003) when a firm reference
surface is used, as shown attached to the W895A. (See
Figures 8, 9 and 10.)
