If the outputs will be used at or near their maximum ratings, it is rec-
ommended that the module be mounted to a good heatsinking surface, such
as an aluminum plate.
You will need to take steps during the design and development of your
end product to ensure that its EMC performance complies with applicable
regulations; suggestions are presented in Appendix A.
The 1356 /1356P contains ESD-sensitive components. Use appropriate
precautions in connecting, disconnecting, and handling the module. See instal-
lation suggestions in Appendix A for protecting the module from ESD damage.
2 — INSTALLATION & WIRING
Working on electrical systems is potentially dangerous.
You should
protect yourself against uncontrolled operation, high current arcs, and
outgassing from lead acid batteries:
UNCONTROLLED OPERATION
— Some conditions could cause the motor to
run out of control. Disconnect the motor or jack up the vehicle and get
the drive wheels off the ground before attempting any work on the motor
control circuitry.
HIGH CURRENT ARCS
— Batteries can supply very high power, and arcing can
occur if they are short circuited. Always open the battery circuit before
working on the motor control circuit. Wear safety glasses, and use properly
insulated tools to prevent shorts.
LEAD ACID BATTERIES
— Charging or discharging generates hydrogen gas,
which can build up in and around the batteries. Follow the battery man-
ufacturer’s safety recommendations. Wear safety glasses.
