Setting Phase Current

Before you turn on the power supply the first time, you need to set the drive for 
the proper motor phase current. The rated current is usually printed on the motor 
label. The SureStep drive current is easy to set. If you wish, you can learn a simple 
formula for setting current and never need the manual again. Or you can skip to the 
table on the next page, find the current setting you want, and set the DIP switches 
according to the picture.

Current Setting Formula

Locate the bank of tiny switches near the motor connector. Five of the switches, DIP 
switch positions 5-9, have a value of current printed next to them, such as 0.1, 0.2, 
0.4, 0.8 and 1.6. Each switch controls the amount of current, in amperes (A), that 
its label indicates in addition to the minimum current value of 0.4 Amps. 

There is 

always a base current of 0.4 Amps, even with all five DIP switches set to the “off” 
position (away from their labels).

 To add to that, slide the appropriate switches 

toward their labels on the PC board. You may need a small screwdriver for this.

DIP switch current total settings = 
step motor required phase current – 0.4 Amps always present base current

Example

Suppose you want to set the drive for 2.2 Amps per 
phase based on the step motor showing a phase 
current of 2.2 Amps. You need the base current of 
0.4 Amps plus another 1.6 and 0.2 Amps.

2.2 = 0.4 + 1.6 + 0.2
Slide the 1.6 and 0.2 Amp DIP switches toward the 
labels as shown in the figure to the right.
