1.1. Warnings
To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts, never
connect/disconnect the servo drive while the power source is on.
Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion. Disconnect
the Gold Hawk from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
The Gold Hawk servo drive contains grounding conduits for electric current protection. Any
disruption to these conduits may cause the instrument to become hot (live) and dangerous.
After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your equipment, wait at
least 1 minute before touching or disconnecting parts of the equipment that are normally
loaded with electrical charges (such as capacitors or contacts). Measuring the electrical
contact points with a meter, before touching the equipment, is recommended.
1.2. Cautions
The Gold Hawk servo drive contains hot surfaces and electrically-charged components
during operation.
The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
When connecting the Gold Hawk to an approved isolated 1295 VDC auxiliary power
supply, connect it through a line that is separated from hazardous live voltages using
reinforced or double insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
Before switching on the Gold Hawk, verify that all safety precautions have been observed
and that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
Do not clean any of the Gold Hawk drive's soldering with solvent cleaning fluids of pH
greater than 7 (8 to 14). The solvent corrodes the plastic cover causing cracks and eventual
damage to the drive's PCBs.
Elmo recommends using the cleaning fluid Vigon-EFM which is pH Neutral (7).
