Connecting the gradient cables to the Gen2 gradient filter - scan room

Connection steps for gradient cable to Gen2 gradient filter, scan room side.

Procedure

  1. Position the gradient cables on the corresponding clamps on the gradient filter. The black insulation should be under the top clamp, braid under the bottom clamp. Loosely secure the cables with the clamps.
    Note: The lower clamps are reversible. The smaller side of the clamps (1 AWG) should face inward, toward the cables.

  2. Attach the three ground cables to the ground pegs and secure with a nut.
    Note: Attach two of the ground cables to the same grounding peg if there are only two pegs.
  3. Attach and secure the lugs to the corresponding posts with a screw. Torque each bolt to 45 N m.
    Note: Red wires are positive (+). Black wires are negative (-).
  4. Tighten the upper and lower clamps until each gradient cable is secured. Do not pinch or compress the gradient cable.
    Note: The lower clamps are reversible. The smaller side of the clamps (1 AWG) should face inward, toward the cables.
  5. Install the scan room gradient filter cover.
