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 Solo Guitar Absolute Feedback from all voltage sources before it is
opened for servicing.
The Solo Guitar Absolute Feedback 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 Guitar Absolute Feedback 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 Guitar Absolute Feedback to an approved 12 to 195 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 Guitar Absolute Feedback, 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 Guitar Absolute Feedback 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).
