Connecting the Motor
Never connect or disconnect the motor while the power is on.
Note: it is highly recommended that you use a motor with a shielded cable with the STAC5. Always connect the
cable drain wire to the drive’s terminal (next to the A+ terminal)
The recommended Applied Motion motors for the STAC5 include shielded cables. See the Recommended Motors section for a list of
part numbers. The recommended motors should be connected to 120V drives in parallel, and to 220V drives in series, according to the
diagram below.
Be sure to connect the cable shield for safety and to minimize electrical interference.
Connecting Other Motors
We can’t stress enough the wisdom in using one of the recommended motors. We’re not just trying to make money here, we want your
application to be successful and the odds of that are highest when you have a high quality motor whose torque, rotor inertia and harmon-
ic waveform content are precisely known. Furthermore, our motors include shielded cables to reduce electrical emissions. If you do want
to connect other motors , here is some information that will help
Four lead motors can only be connected one way. Please follow the sketch at the right.
