Requirements
To begin, make sure you have the following equipment:
▪ A compatible stepper motor.
▪ A small at blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors (included).
▪ A personal computer running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 8.
▪ ST Congurator™ software, available at www.applied-motion.com/products/software.

com/support/manuals.
Step 1
a) Download and install the ST Congurator™ and, for -Q models, the Q Pro-
grammer™ software. (Q Programmer™ is included in current installations
of ST Congurator™)
b) Launch the software by clicking:
Start / Programs / Applied Motion Products / ST Congurator
c) Connect the drive to your network or PC using a standard CAT5 cable.
d) Select an appropriate IP address using the rotary switch on the STAC5. For
more information about network congurations and IP addressing, please
consult the STAC5 Hardware Manual.
Step 2
a) Wire the drive to the AC power source.
(do not apply power until all connections to the drive have been made)
Note, the STAC5-120 accepts AC voltages from 94-135 VAC,
while the STAC5-220 accepts AC voltages from 94-265 VAC.
The STAC5-120 contains an internal 8A fast acting fuse. The STAC5-220 contains an internal 3.5A fast acting fuse. If an external
fuse is desired, we recommend a 6A fast acting fuse for the 120V STAC5 and a 3 amp fast acting fuse for the 220V version.

the STAC5 ground terminal.
For a non-Applied Motion Products motor,
please refer to your motor specs for wiring
information.
