    The housing heats up during high-current operation. Therefore, installing the controller on a metal surface with sufficient clearance for air circulation around the housing is recommended. This transfers heat away from the device, improving performance and increasing the lifespan of the controller. 8.2.1 Wiring the controller The illustration below shows the wiring of the enAble50 controller for a system that has drive motors equipped with encoders.
