Getting Started

For all STAC6 Drive models, you must have the following:

• 120VAC or 220VAC single phase power

• A compatible stepper motor

• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).

• A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000

or XP.

• The "Software, Manuals & More" CD that was included with your

STAC6 Stepper drive

• A programming cable (included)

Familiarize yourself with the drive and the software before deploying
the system in your application.

Recommended Procedures:

1. Install the Configurator™ software from the CD.

2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion

Products...Configurator.

3. Connect the drive to your PC using the programming cable supplied.

4. Connect the drive to the AC power source (may be switched).

5. Connect the drive to the motor.

6. Apply power to the drive.

7. Follow the instructions in the Configurator™ help screens.

(On the CD)
