HYBRID mIcRosteppIng DRIveRs

WARNING! The IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus components are sensitive to Electrostatic 

Discharge (ESD). All handling should be done at an ESD protected workstation. 

WARNING! Hazardous voltage levels may be present if using an open frame power 

supply to power the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus! 

WARNING! Ensure that the power supply output voltage does not exceed the maxi-

mum input voltage of the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus! 

WARNING! Do not connect or disconnect power leads or motor leads when power is 

applied! Disconnect the AC power side to power down the DC power supply.

WARNING! Do not apply power to the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus without proper heat 

sinking or cooling! The TI-22 Isolating Thermal Pad MUST BE used between the IM483H 

Plus/IM805H Plus and the heat sink! The maximum rear plate temperature of the IM483H 

Plus/IM805H Plus is 85°C.

IM483H Plus & IM805H Plus

Quick Reference/Installation Guide

The primary function of this guide is to acquaint the user with the specifications, 
basic wiring and configuration of the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus Hybrid Micro-
stepping Drivers. The full product manual is available in Acrobat PDF format on the 
IMS Product CD. It also may be downloaded from the IMS web site at http://www.
imshome.com.

Notes And Warnings

Please observe the following when handling, connecting and using your IM483H 
Plus/IM805H Plus driver. Failure to observe these points may result in damage to the 
drive. All warranty and disclaimer information is located in the full product manual 
and should be referenced for more information.

Thermal Specifications

Ambient Temperature ....................................................................0° to +50° C

Storage Temperature ................................................................ -40° to +125° C

Maximum Plate Temperature ..................................................................+85° C

Soldering the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus to a PC 

Board

The IM483H Plus and IM805H Plus hybrids are designed to be soldered directly to 
a PC board. Recommended soldering practices:

Max. Soldering Temp ..............................................................................315°C

Max. Soldering Time ............................................................................. 10 sec.

TI-22 Thermal Pad – It is ESSENTIAL that the TI-22 IsolatingThermal Pad included with 

the IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus be placed between the rear plate of the hybrid and the 

heat sink. Use of this pad will improve thermal flow between the driver and the heat sink 

as well as isolate the electrical signals present on the rear plate. 

For More Information:

See the complete IM483H Plus/IM805H Plus Product Manual 

on the IMS Product CD or at www.imshome.com

NOTE: If upgrading your system from an IM483H Plus to an IM805H Plus, or   

vice-versa, please note that the Phase A and Phase /A output pins (Pins 7 & 9) are 

reversed. This will cause the motor to turn in the opposite direction. To correct this 

condition swap the motor wires on Phase A.
