Replace the Wires and Hoses in the Energy Chain

Before You Begin

Safety: Stop the machine, follow the site lockout/tagout procedure, verify that hazardous energy is controlled, and release or secure stored mechanical and pneumatic energy before opening a panel, removing a guard, or adjusting components. Electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician.

Replacing the wires and pneumatics that run in the energy chain.

Required for installation.

Heat Shrink gun (Hot air gun)

Wire cutters

Screwdriver

Allen wrenches

Possible tools

Drill

• Step 1: POWER OFF THE SAW! Disconnect your air supply.
• Step 2: Find the end of the wires that you will need to disconnect, note where the wires go so that you can place them back in the original locations. (Take a photo if you need). Then disconnect the wires that are inside the saw.
• Step 3: Remove the wires from the Roxtec block
  • In order to remove wires from the Roxtec block there are two wedges held by nuts and carriage bolts. Loosen the nuts but do not remove them or you will have a horrible time getting them back in.
  • The wedge will loosen the Roxtec block and allow you to pull a wire out of the system. Sometimes it’s easier to pull a wire forward into the box then back out in order to remove it.
  • The Roxtec Gel is helpful for loading a new wire into the system. Use it generously on the wire and the Roxtec modules.

• Step 4: Remove the 4/4 wire from the electrical box

• Step 5: Remove the air hoses that travels across the top of the saw and through the energy chain.
  • At this point everything should be removed from the guard on the saw except for the energy track itself. Remove and replace the Energy track from your saw frame. You may need to drill new holes in the frame due to this is a new style of Energy track and they don’t make the old one anymore.
  • Wire the large wire first 4/4
  • Wire the Estop cable up. The schematics and heat-shrink labels are provided in the box.
  • Wire the Cat 5 cable. It goes to the network switches located in each of the panels. It does not matter which port you plug it into.
  • Wire air hoses. A visual schematic is provided in the box.

Confirm the Result

Reinstall all guards and restore energy through the approved startup procedure. Run a controlled no-load test, watching for binding, tracking changes, unusual noise, vibration, leaks, or unexpected movement before returning the machine to production.

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
