4.12. Powering Up
After the Gold Solo Hornet is connected to its device, it is ready to be powered up.
Caution: Before applying power, ensure that the DC supply is within the
specified range and that the proper plus-minus connections are in order.
4.13. Initializing the System
After the Gold Solo Hornet has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and
initialized. This is accomplished using Elmo’s Application Studio (EAS), Elmo’s Windows-based
software application. Install the application and then perform setup and initialization according
to the directions in the EAS Software Manual.
4.14. Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Gold Solo Hornet is to mount it so that its heat sink
faces up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Gold Solo Hornet’s
heat sink and any other assembly.
4.14.1. Thermal Data

Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 10 °C/W
•
Thermal time constant: Approximately 240 seconds (thermal time constant means that the
Gold Solo Hornet will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes)
•
Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heat sink)
