Chapter 4:
Installation
The Gold Hawk must be installed in a suitable environment and properly connected to its
voltage supplies and the motor.
4.1. Site Requirements
You can guarantee the safe operation of the Gold Hawk by ensuring that it is installed in an
appropriate environment.
Feature Value
Ambient operating temperature -40 °C to +70 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F)
Maximum operating altitude 2,000 m (6562 feet)
Maximum non-condensing humidity 95%
Operating area atmosphere No flammable gases or vapors permitted in area
Models for extended environmental conditions are available.
Caution:
The Gold Hawk dissipates its heat by convection. The maximum ambient
operating temperature of 40 °C (104 °F) must not be exceeded.
4.2. Unpacking the Drive Components
Before you begin working with the Gold Hawk, verify that you have all of its components, as
follows:
• The Gold Hawk servo drive
• The Elmo Application Studio (EAS) software and software manual
The Gold Hawk is shipped in a cardboard box with Styrofoam protection.
To unpack the Gold Hawk:
1. Carefully remove the servo drive from the box and the Styrofoam.
2. Check the drive to ensure that there is no visible damage to the instrument. If any damage
has occurred, report it immediately to the carrier that delivered your drive.
