OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 
 
HEATSINKING:
 The G203V needs heatsinking for current settings greater than 3 amps. The case temperature (measured on the 
bottom plate) should not exceed 70 degrees C, and for best life should be kept at 50C degrees or less. Use heatsink compound 
between the G203V and your heatsink.  
 
CAUTION! Current settings above 3A without a heatsink may result in the G203V entering thermal shutdown. 
 
AUTO CURRENT REDUCTION: The G203V reduces motor phase current to 71% of the set current value 1 second after the last 
step pulse is sent. The G203V also changes to a special recirculating current mode to nearly eliminate motor heating. 
 
ADJUST:
  This  trimpot  adjusts  the  motor  for  the  smoothest  possible  low-speed  operation.  Set  the  motor  speed  to  about  1/2 
revolution per second and then turn the trimpot until a distinct null is noted in the motor’s vibration. This will result in the most 
even microstep placement for a given motor and power supply voltage. The default setting for this trimpot is at ½ -turn and the 
setting for your motor will be /- ¼-turn of the default setting. 
 
MAIN CONNECTOR: 
The G203V uses a 2-piece modular main connector. The connector is split in two pieces; terminals 1 thru 6 
(power  supply  and  motor  leads)  and  terminals  7  thru  12  (control  interface).  Each  can  be  removed  separately  by  pulling  the 
connector body up and away from the top surface of the G203V. Remove the connectors to access the G203V front mounting 
screw locations in order to mount it to a heatsink or chassis. 
 
G203V INDICATORS

 
POWER LED: The GREEN POWER indicator is lit whenever the G203V has power supply voltage applied.  
 
FULL POWER LED: The YELLOW FULL POWER indicator is lit when the motor is turning fast enough to generate maximum possible 
mechanical power. Power is torque times RPM and power output reaches its maximum value when this indicator is lit. Use this 
indicator to verify your motor is optimally geared to the load. 
 
ERROR LED: The RED ERROR indicator is lit when: 

1)

 

During power-on reset for 1 second when power is first applied to the G203V. 

2)

 

While the DISABLE input is active. 

3)

 

When there is a short-circuit on any motor output. Momentarily activate the DISABLE input to reset. 

4)

 

During over-temperature shutdown. The LED automatically resets when the drive temperature drops. 

 
INTERNAL  FUSE:  The  G203V  uses  a  socketed,  user-replaceable  internally  mounted  fuse  (Littlefuse  Inc.  part  #  0251005.MXL). 
Reversing the power supply polarity or a power supply voltage over 114VDC will cause the internal fuse to blow. 
 
CAUTION! Do not use any other type of fuse, do not bridge a blown fuse with wire and do not solder the fuse in place. Doing so 
will void the drive’s warranty. 
 
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE COVER: 
 
REMOVING THE COVER: 
 

1)

 

Remove the two 2-56 Phillips-head screws on the bottom of the drive. 

2)

 

Slide the cover backwards until it clears the drive. 

 
REPLACING THE COVER: 
 

1)

 

Slide the cover forward over the drive while lifting the back of the cover. 

2)

 

Replace the screws on the bottom of the drive. 

 
It is recommended to use small needle-nose pliers or tweezers to move the jumpers on the internal headers.
