Connect main DC power to the ClearPath power connector, a four positio
Molex Minifit Jr. connector. For applications with multiple ClearPath
motors, power can be daisy-chained from motor to motor as shown below.

over time.
• Never connect a ClearPath motor directly to an AC outlet.
This will damage the ClearPath motor and void the warranty.
• 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).

• Check for proper DC power polarity before connecting po
to a ClearPath. Reversing DC power polarity may damage the
unit and void the warranty.
• Verify that the power supply is turned off and discharged
before connecting to a ClearPath. Connecting and
