Section 7 Driver

SETTING THE KICK CURRENT

The Kick Current should be set to the Motor’s Rated Unipolar Current. For example, a 34D309 is rated for 4.5A, so the Kick Current Potentiometer would be set somewhere between the 4A and 5A indication.

GROUNDING

The unit should be properly grounded. Shielded cable should be used to preserve signal integrity.

MOTOR HOOKUP

The DPJ Series Driver Packs can drive 6-lead and 8-lead step motors rated from 1 to 7 amps/phase (unipolar rating). It features a unipolar bilevel (dual voltage) drive technique with short/open circuit protection (with a Fault LED). This Driver Pack contains a 600 Watt fan cooled power supply.

MOTOR CONNECTIONS

All motor connections must be separated from input connections and all other possible sources of interference.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When wiring from the driver(s) to the step motor(s) that extends beyond 25 feet, it is important to consult with the factory.
