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 12–95 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).
