It is acceptable to daisy chain power to several ClearPath
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, star power
wiring should be used.
•
When a ClearPath motor is powered on, a startup routine
energizes the motor for a few milliseconds. During this
startup routine it is not uncommon for a small amount of
motion to occur (1˚ typical).

OWER UPPLY ONTROL
The power supply for a ClearPath should not be switched on and off from
the DC output side. Switching the DC output side, especially with
inexpensive relays, will ultimately result in poor performance (drop outs)
due to pitting, corrosion and contact welding. If a power switch is
required, install it such that the supply is disconnected from the AC input
side (see figure below).

OWER UPPLY USING
If you require an external fuse on your power supply's DC output (to meet
compliance standards for example) it should be installed in line with the
positive leg of the DC output wiring as shown below. Use a maximum 10A
time delay fuse. Note: Teknic IPC power supplies are not internally fused
on the DC output side.
