Note:
To protect the motor from damage, the motor controller will
reduce the available power according to the motor temperature:
•
Power reduced: Empulse = 110°C (230°F), Empulse R = 120°C (248°F).
•
Power reduced to 50% of normal: Empulse = 115°C (239°F),
Empulse R = 125°C (257°F).
•
Power reduced to 0% of normal: Empulse = 120°C (248°F),
Empulse R = 130°C (266°F).
Once the temperature of the motor drops below the thermal operating
limit, the indicator will turn off and full power will be restored.
