P-Clip Installation Details
The function of the P-Clip is to provide a 360 degree metallic contact and thus a convenient
means of ensuring a proper R.F. ground. When dealing with EMI issues, it is important to
remember that continuity, a DC connection, does not at all speak to the integrity of an AC
(high-frequency) connection. High-Frequency bonding typically involves wide, flat cabling to
establish a suitable system ground. When applied properly, the P-Clip has been shown to give
an adequate high-frequency contact.
When installing a P-Clip, Figure 2, install as close to the cable end as possible, provided a
suitable ground, backplane, earth stud or bus bar is accessible, (this may mean removing the
paint from a cabinet or panel). Remove only the outer (vinyl) jacket of the braided screen cable
(this allows the braid to continue to the cable connector), be careful not to damage the braid.
Snap the P-clip over the exposed braid, and adjust for a tight fit. Secure the clip to the
designated ground with a machine screw and lock washer. The use of brass or other inert
conductive metal P-Clip is recommended. Cover any exposed bare metal with petroleum jelly
to resist corrosion.

APEX615n Servo Controller/Drive
Applicable Products: APEX6151, APEX6152, APEX6154
Please read this in conjunction with the general considerations applicable to all products.
To insure proper grounding of the APEX615n Controller/Drive, remove paint from the rear
panel that is located behind the upper right mounting slot on the drive. The upper right slot is
unpainted. You can use a star washer with the mounting screw in this slot to provide a
grounding path from the chassis ground to the unpainted mounting surface. After mounting
the unit use petroleum jelly on the exposed metal to minimize the risk of future corrosion.
Filtering the AC mains supply
A filter must be installed between the incoming AC supply and the input to the drive.
Suitable filters are:
AC Mains AC Mains
Controller/ Filter AC Control Filter Filter
Drive Manufacturer Filter 1-Phase 3-Phase
120/240VAC 120/240VAC 120/240VAC
