Product Application Guidelines
ALWAYS do the following
 Take a few minutes to FULLY read this manual and accompanying data sheets BEFORE starting.
 Keep High Voltage AC cables separate from Low Voltage DC signal and supply cables.
 Make sure the unit output voltage is compatible with the equipment being driven!
 Ensure that you are aware of the adjustments and consequences for the external equipment.
 Make sure you have the correct tools to do the intended job (i.e. P.C., software) etc.
 ‘Isolate’ this unit from all other equipment BEFORE any form of welding takes place.
 Check ALL wire connections to ensure there are no unintended SHORT or OPEN circuits.
 Check that the units supply voltage is CORRECT, ‘ELECTRICALLY CLEAN’ and STABLE.
 Operate the units within specified operating temperature for the best and most reliable performance.
 Ensure that any unused wires / terminals are terminated safely and not shorted together.
 Isolate the controller if ANY form of battery charging or battery boosting takes place on the vehicle.
 Ensure ALL connectors are wired correctly, secure, locked and connected.
 Observe all the set-up procedures in this manual for best operational results.
 Follow and abide by local and country health & safety standards – protect yourself and others!
NEVER do the following
 Arc Weld or Charge Batteries with this driver unit connected as damage can occur.
 Attempt to use this unit if you are unsure of electrical OR mechanical connections or expected operation.
 Use a power supply that is not rated for the correct required O/P current under full load.
 Allow wires TO or FROM the unit to short circuit (to each other or chassis/cabinet etc).
 Attempt to use this unit in areas of intense RF fields without adequate screening measures.
 Disconnect or connect wires to or from this unit unless it isolated from the power supply.
 Use this unit in temperatures that exceed those specified as operation may be effected.
 Start this unit without ensuring ALL work areas are clear of personnel!
Software Safety
 The software has been carefully written to give the user the maximum system configuration
flexibility while being transparent in operation and easy to use, even for novice system builders and
operators.
 To ensure safety when using the software and to prevent accidental connection to another module
that is not an emc-1P or emc-1V, rules have been written into the software to ensure correct
operation at all times. After program entries, cycle power, to ensure changes are accepted by
the unit.
 When the PC running the GUI is first connected to a powered controller, and before any data
exchange can be allowed, a ‘Handshake’ takes place that confirms the internal software (BIOS) is
compatible with the GUI software and only then allows the PC and the module to communicate and
share data.
 If at any point during the process above an error or miss-match is detected, or loss of
communication, the GUI software will indicate “OFF LINE” and NOT allow communications until the
problem is corrected.
