•
Check for proper DC bus power polarity. Reversing DC
power polarity will permanently damage the unit.
•
Make sure the power supply is turned off before connecting to
a ClearPath-SC. Connecting and disconnecting the motor
from a "hot" power supply will cause electrical arcing that will
damage the connectors over time.
•
Never connect a ClearPath-SC motor directly to an AC outlet.
This will damage the ClearPath-SC motor and void the
warranty.
•
It is acceptable to daisy chain power to several ClearPath-SC
motors provided that the combined current draw of the
motors does not exceed 10A during operation. If total
combined current draw is expected to exceed 10A, it is
appropriate to use star wiring.
•
When a ClearPath-SC motor is powered up, the vector
initialization algorithm will cause the shaft to rotate slightly
(1-4 degrees typical).
