1.1. Cautions
•
The Gold Maestro must be connected to an approved 24 VDC power supply through a
line that is separated from hazardous line voltages using reinforced or double
insulation in accordance with approved safety standards.
•
Before switching on the Gold Maestro, 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 Maestro 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).
