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).
