Note !
1. The motor voltage is stepped down by the junction unit when operating
from 24V or 32V mains (except for RPU1 and RPU3).
2. The specified junction unit is necessary to achieve max drive unit
capacity.
3. Recommended operational thrust or torque is 70% of listed value.
4. Typical average power consumption is 40% of listed maximum value.
