Connecting the Motor
The motor cable connects the APEX615n’s power output, located on the bottom of the drive,
to the motor's power input. APEX and SM motor cables have an MS style connector on the
end that attaches to the motor. You must wire the other end of the cable to the APEX615n’s
motor connector, which is a 8-pin removable connector located on the bottom of the cabinet.
The connector can accept wire diameters as large as 10 AWG (6 mm
2
).

WARNING
DO NOT OMIT the Motor Ground connection. Internal failure of motor insulation can
place the motor frame at deadly potential if it is not properly grounded. Do not rely solely on
mounting bolts for motor grounding.
At this time, make no attachments to the remaining three positions on the motor connector:
V Bus+, V Bus–, Regen Resistor.
After wiring the connector to the cable, connect the motor cable to the motor and to the
APEX615n.
WARNING
The motor connector and cable produce lethal voltages. Never insert or remove the motor
cable with AC power turned on to the APEX615n.
