Gold Bell Installation Guide MAN-G-BELIG (Ver. 1.200) 9.5 Main Power and Control Connector There are two power ratings for the Gold Bell: • 100V for is 12 to 95 VDC • 200V for the 12 to 195 VDC For power rating 200V Two DC power sources are required, a DC power source of 12 to 195V isolated from the Mains, and a control supply 12 to 95V (isolated from the Mains) for the logic.
Page 26
Gold Bell Installation Guide MAN-G-BELIG (Ver. 1.200) 9.5.2 Control Supply The Control supply is required for the 200V power rating, and can be added for the 100V power Note: rating. The source of the Control Supply must be from the Mains.
Page 27
Gold Bell Installation Guide MAN-G-BELIG (Ver. 1.200) 9.5.3 Power Supply for the Power Rating 200 V For Power Rating 200 V, two DC power sources are required, a main power 12 to 195V DC power source isolated from the Mains, and a control power supply 12 to 95V (isolated from the Mains) for the logic.

10.1 Initializing the System After the Gold Bell has been connected and mounted, the system must be set up and initialized. This is accomplished using the EASII, Elmo’s Windows-based software application. Install the application and then perform setup and initialization according to the directions in the EASII User Manual.

Chapter 11: Heat Dissipation The best way to dissipate heat from the Gold Bell is to mount it so that its heat-sink faces up. For best results leave approximately 10 mm of space between the Gold Bell's heat-sink and any other assembly.
Page 56
Note: 5. If the dissipated power is below 4 W, the Gold Bell will not need additional cooling. The chart above shows that no heat-sink is needed when the heat-sink temperature is 80°C, the ambient temperature is 40 °C and the heat dissipated is 4 W.
