  • Page 3 Thank you for purchasing the G203V drive. The G203V is Geckodrive’s new generation CPLD-based microstep drive. It has short- circuit protection for the motor outputs, over-voltage and under-voltage protection, over-temperature protection, reversed power supply polarity protection and will survive accidental motor disconnects while powered-up.

  • Page 5 CAUTION! Avoid shorting the motor leads to each other or to ground or the G203V will enter protective shut-down. 4-wire, 6-wire and 8-wire motor may be used. If 6-wire motors are used, they may be connected in half winding or full winding. This is equivalent to an 8-wire motor connected in parallel or series.
  • Page 6: Other Considerations

    OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: HEATSINKING: The G203V needs heatsinking for current settings greater than 3 amps. The case temperature (measured on the bottom plate) should not exceed 70 degrees C, and for best life should be kept at 50C degrees or less. Use heatsink compound between the G203V and your heatsink.

    The fuse used is manufactured by Littelfuse with manufacturer part number 0251005.MXL and can be purchased from Digi-Key (www.digikey.com) or you can contact Geckodrive and we can send you some. EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED, RED INDICATOR STAYS LIT: If the RED and GREEN indicator LEDs are lit then the motor is miswired, the motor has a wire shorted to ground, is shorted to another motor wire or the motor is bad.
  • Page 8: Technical Support

    This section applies only if you purchased a G213V or have installed a G901X step pulse multiplier. A G203V without a step pulse multiplier has a fixed 10 microstep resolution. ADJUSTING MICROSTEP RESOLUTION The G213V has an onboard step pulse multiplier called the G901X that allows the drive to operate in full step, half step, 5 microstep and 10 microstep modes.
