Setting the Ground Jumper in Ungrounded Power Configurations
Setting the ground jumper is necessary only when using an ungrounded or high-impedance
grounded power configuration. Setting the jumper involves removing the IAM power module
from the power rail, opening the IAM module, and moving the jumper.
Setting the ground jumper is best done when the IAM power module is removed from the power
rail and placed face-up on a solid surface equipped as a grounded static-safe workstation.
To remove the IAM power module from the power rail, refer to the Kinetix 6200 and
Kinetix 6500 Modular Servo Drives User Manual, publication 2094-UM002.
When using ungrounded input power in common-bus configurations, use this table to
determine where to set the ground jumper.
Ground Jumper to Set
IMPORTANT If you have grounded power distribution, you do not need to set the ground jumper. Go to
Install the IAM/AM Power Modules on page 7.
ATTENTION: To avoid personal injury and/or damage to equipment, remove the IAM power
module from the power rail before setting the ground jumper.
By setting the ground jumper for ungrounded power configurations, you no longer maintain
line-to-neutral voltage protection.
ATTENTION: This drive contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts and assemblies.
You are required to follow static-control precautions when you install, test, service, or repair
this assembly. If you do not follow ESD control procedures, components can be damaged. If
you are not familiar with static control procedures, refer to Guarding Against Electrostatic
Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2, or any other applicable ESD awareness handbook.
