5.3. Mounting the Gold Solo Whistle
The Gold Solo Whistle was designed for mounting on a surface. When integrating the Gold Solo
Whistle into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heat-sink to enable free
air convection around the drive. If the Gold Solo Whistle is enclosed in a metal chassis, we
recommend that the Gold Solo Whistle be screw-mounted to it to help with heat dissipation. The
Gold Solo Whistle has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heat-sink for this purpose – see
below.
15
Figure 3: Mounting the Gold Solo Whistle
When the Gold Solo Whistle is not connected to a metal chassis, the application’s thermal profile
may require a solution for heat dissipation due to insufficient air convection. In this case, we
recommend that you connect an external heat-sink. Elmo has an external heat-sink (Catalog
number: WHI-HEATSINK-2) that can be ordered for this purpose – see below.

Chapter 6: Wiring
MAN-G-SOLWHIIG-EC (Ver. 1.500)
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.
The drain wire is a non-insulated wire
that is in direct contact with the braid
(shielding).
18
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.

MAN-G-SOLWHIIG-EC (Ver. 1.500)
6.1. Basic Recommendations
6.1.1. General
1. Use shielded cables. For best results, the cable should have an aluminum foil shield covered
by copper braid, and should contain a drain wire.
Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded with drain wire cables.
2. Keep the cable as short as possible.
Do not mount the power cables of the motor and power bus in the proximity of the control
and feedback cables.
3. Ensure that in normal operating conditions, the “earth connection” wires and shield of the
control cables carry no current. The only time these conductors carry current is under
abnormal conditions, when electrical equipment has become a potential shock or fire
hazard while conducting external EMI interferences directly to ground, in order to prevent
them from affecting the drive. Failing to meet this requirement might result in
drive/controller/host failure.
19
4. After completing the wiring, carefully inspect all wires to ensure tightness, good solder of
joints and general safety.
Figure 7: Feedback and Shrouded Control Cable Assemblies – Example
5. Where there is only one COMRET pin (Common Return) in the connector, which MUST be
connected to the DRAIN WIRE and also to COMRET signal of the cable, it is necessary to
connect the drain wire and COMRET signal to the same pin.
