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 Hornet from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
•
The Solo Hornet 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 Hornet 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 Hornet 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 Hornet, 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 Hornet 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).
