Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
Route the 3HAC6157-1 separately from high-voltage power cables to minimize EMI. Use cable ties to secure the cable at 400-mm intervals, maintaining a minimum bending radius of 50 mm to avoid conductor damage. Ensure connectors are locked firmly using the provided screws to prevent vibration-induced disconnection. Verify controller firmware compatibility with the cable’s communication protocol (e.g., DeviceNet, Profibus) before power-up.

Maintenance Recommendations:
- Routine Inspections: Quarterly visual checks for connector corrosion, jacket abrasion, or shielding damage. Clean cable surfaces with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris that may affect thermal performance.
- Electrical Testing: Annually measure impedance (should remain within 100±10 ohms) and conductor continuity. Replace the cable if signal loss exceeds 3 dB or shielding integrity is compromised.
- Environmental Management: Maintain operating temperatures between -20°C and +70°C. Avoid exposure to solvents, oils, or direct sunlight, which may degrade the PVC jacket over time.
- Spare Parts Management: Keep a spare 3HAC6157-1 on hand to leverage ABB’s 3-day delivery service, minimizing production downtime in case of unexpected failure.
