Installation Instructions 

Unpack the stepper motor without damaging it and ensure that the operating manual is always 
within reach of the device and easily accessible. Installation locations where strong vibrations 
or ambient temperatures of below -15 °C (5 °F) or above 65 °C (149 °F) are present are not 
permissible and result in the warranty being voided.  

  

 

Risk of damage! 

The device must not be installed directly on or at the engine, as vibration 
and heat may cause damage to electronic components. 

   

 

Risk of damage! 

Please make sure that the device is not covered and ensure sufficient 
circulation of air. 

   

 

Risk of destruction due to electrostatic discharge! 

The VariStep stepper motor card may only be installed by specialized 
personnel who has been trained in handling ESD sensitive components and 
with due regard to relevant ESD standards. It must be installed into a 
control cabinet, and it is necessary to comply with the ESD standard 
DIN EN 61340-5-1; VDE 0300-5-1:2008-07. 

Damages caused by electrostatic discharge are not covered by the 
guarantee.
