Safety Instructions
Only qualied personnel are permitted to transport, assemble, commission, and maintain
this equipment. Properly qualied personnel are persons who are familiar with the transport,
assembly, installation, commissioning and operation of motors, and who have the
appropriate qualications for their jobs. The qualied personnel must know and observe the
following standards and regulations:
IEC 364 resp. CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100
IEC report 664 or DIN VDE 0110
National regulations for safety and accident prevention or VBG 4
To minimize the risk of potential safety problems, you should follow all applicable local and
national codes that regulate the installation and operation of your equipment.These codes vary
from area to area and it is your responsibility to determine which codes should be followed,
and to verify that the equipment, installation, and operation are in compliance with the latest
revision of these codes.
Equipment damage or serious injury to personnel can result from the failure to follow all
applicable codes and standards. We do not guarantee the products described in this
publication are suitable for your particular application, nor do we assume any responsibility for
your product design, installation, or operation.
• Read all available documentation before assembly and commissioning. Incorrect handling of
products in this manual can result in injury and damage to persons and machinery. Strictly
adhere to the technical information on the installation requirements.
• It is vital to ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is impossible without a low-resistance earth connection.
• In operation, depending on the degree of enclosure protection, the product can have bare
components that are live or have hot surfaces. Control and power cables can carry a high
voltage even when the motor is not rotating.
• Never pull out or plug in the product while the system is live. There is a danger of electric
arcing and danger to persons and contacts.
• After powering down the product, wait at least ten minutes before touching live sections
of the equipment or undoing connections (e.g., contacts, screwed connections). Capacitors
can store dangerous voltages for long periods of time after power has been switched o.
To be safe, measure the contact points with a meter before touching.

Be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow the recommended precautions and safe
operating practices. Safety notices in this manual provide important information. Read and
be familiar with these instructions before attempting installation, operation, or maintenance.
The purpose of this section is to alert users to possible safety hazards associated with this
equipment and the precautions that need to be taken to reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage to the equipment.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious bodily injury, damage to the
equipment ,or operational diculty.

Over-Current Protection
The STAC6 has hardware over-current detection circuits that protect the drive against“phase
to ground”and“phase to phase” motor shorts. These circuits directly disable the amplier in
a rapid fashion to prevent damage to the driver circuitry.
Typically, the over-current circuitry will react to an over-current condition in 3 to 5 micro-
seconds. For a short occurring in a motor, the motor leads provide enough resistance and
inductance to keep the peak current from exceeding the peak rating of the power transistors
during this time period. The recommended motors for the STAC6 all include 10 foot cables.
In essence the motor/cable system is a part of the over-current circuitry. If the drive is directly
shorted with a very short wire, this condition may cause current conditions that exceed the
peak current rating of our power transistors and therefore could weaken or cause failure in
the drive power devices.
Repetitive short circuits also risk damage to the drive. If a short circuit fault occurs, please
power o the drive and investigate carefully before restoring power.

Getting Started
This manual describes the use of STAC6 series of step motor drives. What you need to know
and what you must have depends on the drive model. For all models, you’ll need the following:
• 120VAC single phase power.
• A compatible Hazadous Location Certied step motor. Consult Factory.
• A small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
• A personal computer running Microsoft Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 or XP, 32 or 64 bit.
If you’ve never used a STAC6 drive before you’ll need to get familiar with the drive and the set
up software before you try to deploy the system in your application. We strongly recommend
the following software applications available at www.applied-motion.com:
1. Install the ST Congurator™ and Q Programmer™ software applications.
2. Launch the software by clicking Start...Programs...Applied Motion...
3. Connect the drive to your PC with the programming cable.
4. Connect the drive to the motor.
5. Connect the drive to the AC power.
6. Apply power to the drive.
