This installation Guide details the technical data, pinouts, wiring and power connectivity of the Gold
DC Whistle. For a comprehensive detailed description of the functions refer to the
MAN-G-Panel Mounted Drives Hardware manual which describes Panel Mounted products.
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Gold DC Whistle, it is imperative that you
implement the safety procedures included in this installation guide. This information is provided to
protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the Gold DC Whistle and
accompanying equipment.
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation process.
Before you start, ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is provided through a low-resistance earth connection.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the servo drive. A qualified person
has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as transporting, assembling, installing,
commissioning and operating motors.
The Gold DC Whistle contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged if handled
incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating materials,
such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface and ground
yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.
To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product
during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.
The following safety symbols are used in this and all Elmo Motion Control manuals:
This information is needed to avoid a safety hazard, which might cause bodily injury
or death as a result of incorrect operation.
This information is necessary to prevent bodily injury, damage to the product or to
other equipment.

2.1. 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 DC Whistle from all voltage sources before servicing.
• The high voltage products within the Gold Line range contain 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.
2.2. Cautions
• The maximum DC power supply connected to the instrument must comply with the
parameters outlined in this guide.
• When connecting the Gold DC Whistle to an approved isolated 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 DC Whistle, verify that all safety precautions have been
observed and that the installation procedures in this manual have been followed.
• Make sure that the Safe Torque Off is operational
2.3. CE Marking Conformance
The Gold DC Whistle is intended for incorporation in a machine or end product. The actual end
product must comply with all safety aspects of the relevant requirements of the European Safety of
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as amended, and with those of the most recent versions of
standards EN 60204-1 and
Concerning electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits, the Gold DC Whistle
meets the provisions outlined in 2006/95/EC. The party responsible for ensuring that the
equipment meets the limits required by EMC regulations is the manufacturer of the end product.
EN ISO 12100 at the least, and in accordance with 2006/95/EC.
2.4. Warranty Information
The products covered in this manual are warranted to be free of defects in material and
workmanship and conform to the specifications stated either within this document or in the
product catalog description. All Elmo drives are warranted for a period of 12 months from the time
of installation, or 18 months from time of shipment, whichever comes first. No other warranties,
expressed or implied — and including a warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose — extend beyond this warranty.

The Gold DC Whistle is an advanced high power density servo drive which delivers up to 1.6 kW of
continuous power or 3.2 kW of peak power in a 222.5 cc (13.58 in³) package (115 x 75 x 25.8 mm
or 4.5" x 3.0" x 1").
This advanced, high power density servo drive provides top performance, advanced networking and
built-in safety, as well as a fully featured motion controller and local intelligence. The Gold DC
Whistle is powered by a single 12 V – 195 V isolated DC power source (not included) and a “smart”
control-supply algorithm enables the drive to operate up to 95V with only one power supply with
no need for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
The Gold DC Whistle can operate as a stand-alone device or as part of a multi-axis system in a
distributed configuration on a real-time network.
The Gold DC Whistle drive is easily set up and tuned using Elmo Application Studio (EAS) software
tools. As part of the Gold product line, it is fully programmable with the Elmo motion control
language. For more about software tools, refer to the Elmo Application Studio Software Manual.
The Gold DC Whistle is available in a variety of options. There are multiple power rating options,
two different communications options, a variety of feedback selections and I/O configuration
possibilities.

• The Elmo Application Studio software and software manual
The Gold DC Whistle is shipped in a cardboard box with Styrofoam protection.
To unpack the Gold DC Whistle:
1. Carefully remove the servo drive from the box and the Styrofoam.
2. Check the drive to ensure that there is no visible damage to the instrument. If any damage
12
has occurred, report it immediately to the carrier that delivered your drive.
3. To ensure that the Gold DC Whistle you have unpacked is the appropriate type for your
requirements, locate the part number sticker on the side of the Gold DC Whistle. It looks
like this:
4. Verify that the Gold DC Whistle type is the one that you ordered, and ensure that the
voltage meets your specific requirements.
The part number at the top provides the type designation. Refer to the appropriate part
number in the section Catalog Number at the beginning of the installation guide.

MAN-G-DCWHI IG-EC (Ver. 1.700)
Once the product is mounted, you are ready to wire the device. Proper wiring, grounding and
shielding are essential for ensuring safe, immune and optimal servo performance of the drive.
The following table legend describes the wiring symbols detailed in all installation guides.
Wiring Symbol Description
Earth connection (PE)
Protective Earth Connection
Common at the Controller
Shielded cable with drain wire.
19
The drain wire is a non-insulated wire
that is in direct contact with the braid
(shielding).
Shielded cable with drain wire
significantly simplifies the wiring and
earthing.
Shielded cable braid only, without
drain wire.
Twisted-pair wires
Encoder Earthing.
The cable`s shield is connected to the
chassis (PE) in the connector.
Earthing the Encoder and connecting
the Earth (PE) to the drive COMRET is
mandatory to insure reliable
operation, high noise immunity and
rejection of voltage common mode
interferences.
