3.13. Powering Up
After the Hawk 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.
3.14. Initializing the System
After the Hawk has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and initialized.
This is accomplished using the Composer, Elmo’s Windows-based software application. Install
the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the directions in the
Composer Software Manual.
3.15. Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Hawk is to mount it so that its heatsink faces up. For
best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Hawk's heatsink and any other
assembly.
3.15.1. Hawk Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 8 °C/W.
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 360 seconds (thermal time constant means that the
Hawk will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 6 minutes).
• Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heatsink)
