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.

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.

6.3. Main and Auxiliary Power
The Gold Solo Whistle receives power from main and auxiliary supplies and delivers power to the
motor.
6.3.1. Description
This section describes the Main and Auxiliary Power for power ratings 200V and 100V, and provides
details for the optional Backup (Auxiliary) Supply.
The Gold Solo Whistle Power rating is 12 to 195 VDC
There are Two power ratings for Gold Solo Whistle; 100V and 200V:
For power rating 200V
Two power isolated DC power sources are required, main power 12 - 195V and Auxiliary Power
12-95V for the logic.
For power rating of 100V
Single DC Power Supply - Power to the Gold Solo Whistle is provided by a 12–95 VDC single
isolated DC power source (not included with the Gold Solo Whistle). A “smart” control-supply
algorithm enables the Gold Solo Whistle to operate with only one power supply with no need
for an auxiliary power supply for the logic.
25
Optional Backup (Auxiliary) Supply
If backup functionality is required in case of power loss, e.g., to keep the original position, a
12–95 VDC external isolated supply should be connected (via the Gold Solo Whistle’s VL+
terminal). This is more flexible than the requirement for 24 VDC supply.
If backup is not needed, a single power supply is used for both the power and logic circuits.
There are two voltage ratings of the Gold Solo Whistle, therefore the correct power supply
must be used, according to the maximum operating voltage of the Gold Solo Whistle. Refer to
section 4.2 Technical Data.

6.15. Heat Dissipation
The best way to dissipate heat from the Gold Solo Whistle is to mount it so that its heat sink faces
up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Gold Solo Whistle’s heat sink
and any other assembly.
6.15.1. Thermal Data
• Heat dissipation capability (θ): Approximately 10 °C/W
• Thermal time constant: Approximately 240 seconds (thermal time constant means that the
Solo Whistle will reach 2/3 of its final temperature after 4 minutes)
•Shut-off temperature: 86 °C to 88 °C (measured on the heat sink)
6.15.2. Heat Dissipation Data

6.15.3. How to Use the Charts
The charts above are based upon theoretical worst-case conditions. Actual test results show 30% to
50% better power dissipation.
To determine if your application needs a heat sink:
6. Allow maximum heat sink temperature to be 80 °C or less.
7. Determine the ambient operating temperature of the Solo Whistle.
8. Calculate the allowable temperature increase as follows:
For an ambient temperature of 40 °C , ΔT= 80°C – 40 °C = 40 °C
9. Use the chart to find the actual dissipation power of the drive. Follow the voltage curve to the
desired output current and then find the dissipated power.
10. If the dissipated power is below 4 W the Solo Whistle will need no additional cooling.
Note: The chart above shows that no heat sink is needed when the heat sink temperature is
80 °C, ambient temperature is 40 °C and heat dissipated is 4 Watts.
