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 Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) from all voltage sources before it is opened for servicing.
•
The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) 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 Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) 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 Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) to an approved isolated 18–30 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 Gold Drum HV (High Voltage), 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 Drum HV (High Voltage) 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).
