Solo Whistle Installation Guide Safety Information

MAN-SOLWHIIG (Ver. 1.503)

1.1. Warnings

• Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion. Disconnect

the Solo Whistle from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.

• The Solo Whistle 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 Solo Whistle 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 Solo Whistle to an approved 11 to 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 Solo Whistle, 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 Solo Whistle 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).
