STR2 Quick Setup Guide

To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:

▪▪ A compatible stepper motor.
▪▪ A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
▪▪ A suitable DC power supply. AMP recommends the PS50A24, PS150A24 or PS320A48 available from Applied Motion.

Wiring the Drive

Step 1 - Wiring the DC supply
a. Wire the drive to the DC power source.
(do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)

Note, the STR2 accepts DC voltages from 12-48V.

b. Ensure a proper earth ground connection by using the screw

on the left side of the chassis.

*See the STR2 Hardware Manual for more information about power supply
and fuse selection.

Step 2 - Wiring the motor

Connect the drive to the motor. Four lead motors can be connected in only one way, as shown in Figure 1.
Eight lead motors can be connected in Series or Parallel, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
If using a non-Applied Motion Products motor, please refer to your motor specs for wiring information.

Setting up the Drive
NOTE: DIP switch setting changes will only take effect at power up. If changes to the DIP switches
are made while power is applied, cycle power off then on for the new settings to take effect.

Step 3 - Selecting the motor Step 4 - Selecting current

Motor selection is done with the DIP switch block on the
