Electrical Installation: OEM AC FlexTail

Description

The main difference between the OEM Control Box and the OEM AC FlexTail is the cable extension between the Control Box and the robot arm connector, described in the following subsections.

 

The OEM AC FlexTail uses the same AC electrical installation described in the previous section. However additional items are required to attach the OEM AC FlexTail cable.

Installing or maintaining equipment connected to a power source can lead to electric shock.

  • Disconnect the equipment from the power source before installation or maintenance.
