APEX6152: (for reference only: do not install external resistor)
• Resistor Size and Type 50 ohm, 100 watt, 5% non-inductive resistor:
• Manufacturer Name: Memcor-Truohm Inc.
• Manufacturer Part Number: FRV01006-2500-QM-NI
("NI " - Non Inductive)
• Mounting Bracket: Memcor-Truohm Inc.
Part Number 1141-006-001
APEX6154:
• Resistor Size and Type 25 ohm, 100 watt, 5% non-inductive resistor:
• Manufacturer Name: Memcor-Truohm Inc.
• Manufacturer Part Number: FRV01006-2250-QM-NI
("NI " - Non Inductive)
• Mounting Bracket: Memcor-Truohm Inc.
Part Number 1141-006-001
• Compumotor Part Name APEX40 REGEN KIT
Use these, or an equivalently rated resistors, for your external resistor. Be sure to specify a
non-inductive resistor.
To connect the external resistor, wire its two terminals to V BUS+ and Regen Resistor, located
on the motor connector. Do not install more than one external resistor. The regeneration
control circuit will automatically dissipate half of the excess regenerated power in the external
resistor (provided that it is the the value indicated above).
CAUTION
Do not install more than one external regeneration resistor with the APEX6151 or APEX6154.
Do not install an external regeneration resistor with the APEX 6152.
Building Your Own Regeneration Circuit
If you need more continuous power dissipation than the internal and external resistors provide
for the APEX6151 and APEX6154, or the internal resistor provides for the APEX6152, you
can design and build your own network of external regeneration resistors.
The next table shows specifications for maximum continuous and peak dissipation that the
APEX615n can sustain. It also shows the minimum resistance for an external network. Do
not use a resistor network with less resistance than the values in this table.
